NHD Narrative: The First World War

Winston Churchill is often proclaimed as the greatest leader in Britain history and one of the world's eminent leaders. He was a charismatic and adventurous, egotistical, visionary and with unconventional ideologies, an enigma of his era. His life spanned for more than two world wars and the rise and fall of the Victorian

From the earliest times, war has existed as a painful reality. Stories are passed down from generation to generation about brave men fighting epic battles in ancient civilizations. Occasionally a different type of legend emerges: the homefront hero. Leaders in Ancient Greece and Rome are documented preventing panic and raising supplies for their distant armies. From then on through history, those left behind, from the leaders of countries tested in resolve and commitment by wars to the ordinary citizens who rise above their routines to serve their countries, are powerful forces behind victories. World War II was no exception. While the soldiers abroad were undoubtedly true heroes of the war, the parents, siblings, and children they left behind also assisted in the war effort. No one remained truly unaffected by the war. Without the labors of women, the efforts of schoolchildren, and the institution of rationing, World War II could not have been won.

World War II was fought between two main opposing forces, the Allies and the Axis forces. The Axis powers consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan being the most dominant. On the other hand, some of the countries in the Allied powers were Great Britain, the United States, France, Australia, New Zealand, India, the Soviet Union, Canada, and Greece.

Allies are those countries in opposition to the Central Powers. The Central Powers were Germany, Turkey and Austria-Hungary. Many countries made up the allies. The major allied powers were the British Empire, France and the Russian Empire. They were linked by the Treaty of London in 1914. Other countries that were allied countries included Japan, Italy, Belgium, Brazil, Greece, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia. The countries that were in opposition to the Central Powers preferred to be called the Associated Powers rather than the Allied Powers.

Some people think going to war is fun, getting to have guns and drive tanks. But logical kids know war isn’t all that exciting. You can get killed, your country can get bombed and you have to worry about new things like rationing money and food. In the historical fiction novel My Brother Sam Is Dead by the Collier brothers, we learn that war can divide and destroy individuals, families and communities.
