The Events Of World War II

World War2, many events took place in history. In World War2,these events had most been written about the holocaust, ration books, Green Police, and the famous concentration and death camp of that time. In 1939, people started and needed to use ration books. German submarines attacked British and American ships, so many supplies had to be cut short. During this time, the Nazi created an organization of soldiers called “Gestapo” or “Green Police”. Later on, in 1945, Auschwitz was created and became famous for the deaths of thousands of people. While World War2 was going on, many events changed the lives of many people. Some of the events connected to the play “The Diary of Anne Frank” and characters.

The second poster encourages people to join the war to help protect the country from the enemy. It reflects the sense of nationalism in Australia at the time and also tells the viewer to honor their monarch.

offices, shops, public houses etc. The posters were in portrait format and in colours on a white background, and the images were rather small in overall picture plane. The humour was quick, and the wide margin and red border gave the image the space to be noticed. Bird's work, especially the 'Careless Talk' posters were widely appreciated both during and after the war (figures.3.7-3.15). Contrary to the British, humour was never used in anti-spy posters in Germany.

The Tenth’s triumphs in Italy were demonstrative of the value of specialized forces. Their success both was very influential in the events of World War II and in proving the value of specialized forces. Once the government saw how effective the focused training of this division was, they realized that a new era had begun. The Tenth Mountain Division started the period of special forces.

World War II was a time of great urgency and sacrifice that called upon unity for not just soldiers, but also everyday citizens. America needed a way to get this message across quickly and effectively and so they did it in the forms of posters and speeches. The World War II propaganda that was created to unite and encourage patriotism across the United States played a pivotal and vital role in the United Nation’s victory.

Life for the people of Great Britain during World War II was daunting and arduous and their efforts made a significant difference in the outcome of the war. Their life was “controlled by air raid alerts and all clears, as well as the enforcement of a war-long blackout” (The Home front- The regulation of society par 3). Finally the Nazis surrender on the 8th of May in 1945 and the people of Great Britain were able to take a breath of relief from chaos to celebrate and mourn those they had lost in the Second World War.

Furthermore, the caption below the cartoon, ‘Gotte Strafe England’ is veritable evidence that supports the source as German in origin and perspective; its purpose being to diminish respect for Great Britain. ‘Gotte Strafe England’ translates to ‘May God punish England’ and was created by the dramatist Ernst Lissauer, consequently becoming a war slogan for German soldiers in WW1; it must be noted that Lissauer also penned the aptly named hate hymn ‘Hassgesang gegen England’ or ‘Song of Hate against England’. The additional context afforded by this caption and its background reveals that Source G is ultimately a form of propaganda intended to mock British integrity, thus another major reason for why it is so departed from the other sources in its nature. Consequent of its differing traits, Source G offers a new perspective of the world at the beginning of the 20th century but may also prove itself less useful to historians in the fact it has no date or title, and is narrow in its scope. Therefore, despite the plentiful information on German opinion and British characterisation, Source G is lacking and unreliable in its validity and credibility; historians would garner only a biased perspective of the world at the beginning of the 20th

World War 2 was undoubtedly one of the most important events in history not only for what happened throughout the six years of war but also the aftermath of the war. Beyond the casualties and deaths this devastating war would open new doors for technology advancement, medicine innovations and creations also changes in music ,art ,sports and culture. Furthermore back home in the United States the role of women was beginning to shape up during the conflict at the other side of the world . Previous verbal arguments between countries escalated and led to previous physical encounters.Such as that of the first world war which took place from July 28, 1919 until November 11,1918 with an estimated 16.5 million deaths in both military and civilian

"The photograph is memorable not only because of it taut graphic composition but because it is, in the words of historian Paul Fussell, 'so successful emblem of the common will triumph" (Susan D. Moeller). The Iwo Jima Memorial, located on Ella Grasso Boulevard in New Britain, Connecticut serves as a respectful reminder of the men who fought and died for us during WWII. To enhance the importance of this piece is a small monument fed by a gas line where a constant flame is kept lit. In this paper, we will discuss the history, subject matter, composition, meaning, and formal elements that this statue conveys.

A-1 Pictures created this poster in order to attract people who are interested in watching genres that are the action-fantasy. To be able to portray the action genre, the background is drawn that displayed some sort of conflict. The background displayed a dead tree, ashes, burning building, and embers flying around. The dead tree signified that the land itself was dying. The burning buildings signify the destruction of humanity. The ashes are covering most of the poster which gives the idea that the land has been burning for a long time. With all the destruction on the background, the main focus of the poster is the picture of two determined and strong looking characters. Since the characters looks determined and strong while there is chaos all around them, the audience can tell that the story will not be focused on the hardships of war but on the fights that happen in battle.

It is difficult, if not impossible put the events of World War II in context without a discussion about World War I. Known at first as the Great War, the occurrences that lead up to this conflict and its happenings caused a series of events that many see led up to the start of the second World War. Although the two wars are usually seen as separate events, it is important to see the connections linking the two together. The Great War ending was one that saw Germany placed the position of sole guilt. This idea along with many of the agreed upon articles in the Treaty of Versailles in turn help to create the climate in which the great powers of the world find themselves again facing another World War.

Despite varying opinions on what actual triggered the start of World War II, Hitler ordering the invasion of Poland on September 1st, 1939 is believed to be the true mark of the beginning of the Second World War. Germany had been pondering war with Poland since the 1920s and recovering lost territory was considered the main objective (Radzilowski J., 2004). However, the initial reason for the German invasion of Poland was “Hitler’s drive for Lebensraum (living space) in the east (Beevor A., 2012).” Hitler’s so called “drive for living space” resulted in the consequence of the single most deadly war in world history to date. As a result of the invasion, since Poland was in alliance with Britain and France, Poland received support from both countries.

One can see the use of recurring propaganda in today’s time. The first poster of Uncle Sam, named “I Want You for the U.S Army” rose during 1917 as the original artist, James Montgomery Flagg created this poster to encourage recruitment in the United States Army at the advent of World War I. “I Want You for the U.S Army” poster was extremely popular as it had over four million copies of it printed and displayed throughout the United States. Flagg created the image to symbolize America and America’s demand for young recruits for the war effort. The representation of the colors of the American flag and “Uncle Sam,” a fictional man with a crisp stoic expression, as the main focal point revealed the type of features Flagg incorporated to explain

After he writes the letter, he meticulously folds it into a small capsule before wrapping it in plastic, where at a later date it could be swallowed and smuggled to another destination. Akram Zaatari’s exhibit explains what it is like to survive a war through the use of emotions, and shows the limitations of representing a war through imagery.

In discussing the relationship between art and politics “For everybody knows or else should know that if nothing drastic is done, aeroplane and zeppelin will come out. Pitch like king billy bomb balls in until the town lie beaten flat” Marc (1998) articulates that this poem opens up with a description of the fear of war, and panic that caught Europe during the period 1935-1939. He further observed that this was the time of deep despair. This means that one grew up for the foreknowledge that war more dangerous than the first one was possible. Lines of extreme fear and violence were growing and people were shaking with fear of air raids, and raining incendiary bombs in cities and citizens.
