These finely made chess sets are made of poly-resin plastic. Each piece is hand-painted using long lasting, lead-free paint. These pieces are not recommended for children below 10 years of age since they will break if dropped or played with roughly.

World War II, involved over 100 million military personnel, the largest war the world has ever seen. It began on September 1, 1939 with the invasion of Poland. Many countries who were not initially involved in the war, joined later as a result of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the attack on Pearl Harbor and British colonies.

The war ended September 2, 1945 with the United States and the Soviet Union emerging as the world's superpowers and setting the state for the Cold War which lasted for the next 46 years.
