In the beginning / at the beginning / in the end

I have seen / heard all of them. So what is right or wrong and when do I use "At the beginning" or "In the beginning"?
Is there also such an expression as "At the end"?
Thanks!

At the beginning of the project, I thought it would surely fail. Now, at the end of the project , I'm looking back and see how wrong I was. In the beginning of World War II, the Germans won many battles, conquering Poland, Austria, Belgium, The Netherlands, and northern France, because the Allies were not prepared for war.

Thanks so far, but is there a common rule? Can I use At the end / At the beginning ; In the beginning / At the beginning, whenever I want to?

At the end / At the beginning = one point or a relatively short length of time.

In the beginning = during the early stages, a length of time
