In 1939, the world was torn between the countries of the Allies, and the countries of the Axis. Some of the neutral countries were battlefields, but most of the intense fighting was originated within the continent of Europe.World War II led to millions of deaths, both civilians and soldiers. It caused economies to drop drastically, innocent people to be slayed, and tons of damage throughout the world. It caused many terrible things, but it also led to a few good things that have been made to help the world from having it happen again. World War II changed the world in many ways: from women’s rights, to increases in the population, to the way things are written, and to drastic increases of money influx.

In the website I used named ShareAmerica, I used the story “Ways That World War II Changed The World.” The site stated, “May 8, 1945, also marked the birth of a new international system of norms and ideals, conceived to ensure peace, security and prosperity for all nations.” This talks about the making of the United Nations, a peace keeping organization created to be stronger than the League of Nations, which failed to prevent the war. Other organizations that were made as a result of the war were the International Monetary Fund, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (today’s World Trade Organization), and the International Military Tribunal. The same article also states, “In the wake of the Holocaust and other horrific crimes, countries recognized the benefits of a world with established norms and shared values. The Allies established
The United Nations was formed from the Treaty of Versailles and it consists of most countries around the world. The UN was created specifically to promote peace among its 193 member in securing peace and stability around the world. In addition, politically, the war had led to the downfall of most European monarchies. For instance, the Austria-Hungary empire and other imperial dynasties were diminished due to the war. Economically, the war severely disrupted the European economies and allowed the United States to become the world’s superpower.
Introduction The Second World War had been fought between the Axis nations (Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan and their smaller allies) and the Allied nations, led by Britain (and its Commonwealth nations), the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States of America (Source D). The war changed many things internationally. This included changes to do with technology and the end of European colonialism (Source D).
• United Nations: After World War II ended, nations joined in forming the United Nations. The organization’s purpose includes peacekeeping, fighting hunger and disease and promoting education.
By the end of the first world war, the international community founded the League of Nations, the first international security organization with the primary goal of maintaining world peace. The first world war saw drastic increases in mankind 's capacity to kill other human beings and cause insurmountable harm to human society and culture. The human condition was drastically different. With a new world war on the horizon, the international community had decided to band together to form a way in which it could help exercise the correct legal disposition and formality to positively influence the world. An international body was crucial after the first world war in order to maintain peace and order as the world picked up the pieces from their injustices. This was also true after the Second world war where the world saw, again, how the cruelties of humanity had to be prevented in order for the international body to prevent the forming of higher casualty rates and human suffering.
The article discusses the social changes that came with World War two. Women and Native Americans started working, taking jobs from African Americans. Thus, Roosevelt issued the FEPC to expose racist practices and employ minorities and migrants. As civil rights become more of an issue, discrimination increased. Japanese were sent to internment camps, Hispanics were attacked, and Indians lost their rights to vote. The NAACP, along with other African American militancy organizations, fought against this unjust treatment. Truman continued the campaign against segregation. He passed Executive Order 9981, mandating equality for all minorities. Legal inquiry to the Plessy doctrine and the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education trial started a civil rights
World War II caused greater destruction than any other war in history. The war took the lives about 17 million soldiers and an even greater number civilians, who died as a result of bombings, starvations, and deliberate campaigns of mass murder. More than 50 nations took part in this war, which changed the world forever. In Asia and the Pacific, the Japanese armies invaded countries and islands. On December 7,1941, the Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Within hours the U.S. Congress declared war against Japan, plunging the U.S. headfirst into World War II.
World War Two changed the way the world lived and the way they viewed each other efficaciously. It was the one of the biggest and bloodiest battles in American history. It resulted in about 50 to 80 million deaths. The war was between the Allied powers which included the U.S., Canada, Australia, Great Britain, France, Russia, China and the Axis Power which mainly included Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania. Hitler was engrossed with the concept of making the German race superior to all races. He called the race “Aryan.” He fervently believed that in order for Germany to achieve this state of power, war was vital. In the mid-1930s, he began the rearmament of Germany, secretly and in violation of the Versailles Treaty and also signed a
World War II was an international war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. World War II was fought on a greater scale than any other war before and was very destructive. Although the war never really touched the United States soil, it had an effect on American life on the home front. World War II also impacted United States economy, roles of women and minorities, as well as gender and race relations in the United States. In one sense, World War II was a unifying event in history and is responsible for many future changes in American society. Almost every American from wealthy to poor, regardless of race and ethnicity, had a common goal of defeating the Axis Powers.
There was a lot of inventions from WWII that changed the world. One of the inventions that changed us is helicopters because they help us get around faster and easier.

Throughout history there have been many wars and may forms of violence and cruel acts being held within countries. Before 1945 with the signing of The Charter of the United Nations there were very few if any forms of nations joining together to create peace or come to an agreed conclusion. Many countries before this date took alliances with other countries and served as a best friend to that country and would go to war and do many other things for that particular country. However in 1945 this all changed and the world sought to be a more democratized nation as a whole.
WWI brought unprecedented mass destruction and loss of human lives. With its end, the anti-war sentiment spread throughout Europe and across the Atlantic and led to the creation of a new model of international cooperation based on war deterrence through diplomacy. The signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 resulted in the creation of The Covenant of the League of Nations (LON).
World War Two was considered the greatest conflict that the world had ever seen. Around 50 million people’s lives were taken including one in every one hundred and fifty New Zealanders, Post-war calculations showed that the amount of New Zealand soldiers killed per million of the country’s population that New Zealand had the highest in the commonwealth. A total of 160,000 soldiers enlisted and had been sent overseas to fight by the year 1945. The New Zealand soldiers primarily fought in three main areas: the seas around Japan, Singapore and the Solomon Islands. World War Two changed and shaped the modern world that we now live in.

This is a catastrophic world war between the Allied forces and the Axis under fascism. Although this war just lasted in 6 years, from 1939 until 1945, but almost every continents in the world are affected by this war, except Antarctica and South America, and the population of the world decreased significantly.
World War I brought about changes in the way countries were ruled around the world as there was a steady decrease of those who lived in an empire. This decrease came from economic, political and cultural factors that transformed the world to the one that is today, one with no empires in existence. Two prime examples of this occurrence are in the regions of Africa and the Middle East, who transitioned from an empire to a nation.
