Life timeline of Ruth J Provenzola

Ruth J Provenzola was born on 28 Nov 1921

Ruth J Provenzola was 18 years old when World War II: Nazi Germany and Slovakia invade Poland, beginning the European phase of World War II.

In a state of total war, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 50 to 85 million fatalities, most of whom were civilians in the Soviet Union and China. It included massacres, the genocide of the Holocaust, strategic bombing, premeditated death from starvation and disease and the only use of nuclear weapons in war.
