The Allies - Britain, France, the U.S, the Soviet Union, China, Canada, Australia and others were the winners of World War 2. By 1945 Germany and Japan had suffered a devastating defeat.

World War II plays a major role in our conception of human history, because, unlike the senseless carnage of World War I, it stands for an ideological struggle between Good and Evil. Whereas the Allies - Britain, the USA and even the Soviet Union - stressed, at least formally, their commitment to the humanistic values of the Enlightenment, Hitler's Germany did away with them altogether, worshipping barbarian values like power and race instead, taking pride of its brazen contempt for morality, international conventions and the rule of law.

This radical difference can best be illustrated by two diametrically opposed definitions of the aims of War. The Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th edition) comments:

"Civilized warfare, the textbooks tell us, is confined, as far as possible, to the disablement of the armed forces of the enemy; otherwise war would continue till one of the parties was exterminated."

Compare this with Adolf Hitler's words:

"The aim of war is not to reach definite lines but to annihilate the enemy physically. It is by this means that we shall obtain the vital living space that we need."(*)

Luckily, Nazi Germany lost the War.
England won!

Edit: Not only had U.K won. It had won along with U.S.A and invaded France along with Soviet Union (Russia and many other countries later on divided from the Soviet Union due to the failure of Communism)
The Allies won it, which included England, US, Canada, Australia, France etc.
The Allies acheived victory over the Axis Powers

In the military point of view, the allies won the war. The USSR (Soviet Union) contributed the most land gain in WW2 then all of the other allies combined.

In the technical point of view, only the United States won the war, because from the war they become a world powered, enormously rich and had no industrial or civil damages directly from the war. Unlike the United States, all other nations suffered tremendous industrial and civil damages.
