War from the Underworld

In 1939 the world plunged into a state of depression and war, each country turning on one another. Diplomatic factors, Hitler's thirst for power, and the political and financial stand point are arrows that point directly to a future of destruction and war, all with the failure of appeasement. Collective security worked as a buffer between conflicts, and was the best response toward aggression. The weakening League of Nations failed to keep collective security intact from any wars. Hitler's leadership threatened the peace in Europe which caused Germany to stir up war around the world. The economic and political stand points were in danger and on the verge of collapsing.

The world changed the day that the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan. This evoked a cataclysmic spiral in the morals and methods of how

The book The Spartacus War by Barry Strauss is an in depth look at one of Roman history’s most legendary events, the gladiator revolt led by Spartacus. Spartacus has become a legend, creating a storyline that has inspired many movies and television shows, such as Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus in 1960, starring the legendary Kirk Douglas. Spartacus has inspired a perfect mix of men over time with various backgrounds and beliefs, from Stalin and Marx, to Voltaire, and even to Ronald Reagan. How though, did Spartacus create a massive revolt of slaves that would create a massive problem for the mighty Rome? Strauss attempts to create a chronology of the Spartacus War using his vast knowledge of the Italian landscape, ancient documents, and

In the time of ancient Greeks many people believed in certain Gods and Goddesses and their mythological stories. Among the many gods and goddesses there was Athena, Goddess of wisdom, crafts, and war. Also there was Apollo, God of the sun, music, healing, prophecy, and poetry. Apollo’s twin sister Artemis Goddess of hunting and archery. Then there’s Poseidon, God of the ocean and brother to the most powerful God of them all, the God of all Gods, Zeus. However, there was only one specific God that mortals and even Gods feared, the brother of Poseidon and Zeus. He was the ruler of the underworld and the dead; he went by the name of Hades.

“I think it is fair to say that during World War II there was a high sense of purpose. The country had a very clear vision of its own standing, of its own morality. It was not an ambiguous time. Today, we live in a world that is highly ambiguous, very fractured, with many of the historical, traditional values in a state of collapse, really.” World War II occurred during 1939 to 1945.

The aftermath of the holocaust and the events which lead up to World War 2 left the world stunned with actions of the Nazi German army and their acquired surrounding territories which came out during the Eichman

A new world! The latter part of the 20th Century was a time of great change in world power and the understanding of people’s savagery. This is a result of World War II, The Holocaust, British Colonialism, and Nature Nurture Debates. The mass murdering of a countries own Jewish population and its captured Jewish population under the order of Adolf Hitler was known as the Holocaust.

During World War II, the Nazi’s were killing off millions of Jews and Catholics in Germany and throughout Europe. Hitler, who was the mastermind behind this attempted annihilation, had become a strong power throughout Europe and at the time it seemed

From September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945 the world was at war. Germany rose to power and invaded Poland, later declaring war on France and Great Brittan. Benito Mussolini (fascist dictator of Italy) joined the Axis powers and on December 7th 1941, after the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor, so would the Japanese empire. The war lasted 6 bloody years costing approximately 60 million people were killed: men; women; children; the old; the young; military and civilian alike. The war in Europe bitterly ended when the Führer committed suicide by shooting himself in his fortified bunker before the Red Army got to him. However, the war on The Pacific still raged on…

Word War II was a time that caused many people to feel a lot of tension, anxiety and concern. While some wanted power, control, and wanted the notion of superiority. Others were left feeling unsafe, scared, and were worried of what the future would bring them. The uncertainly lead many to feed off the fear and the tension among people rose. No one was to be trusted.

In Giles MacDonogh’s After the Reich, the author attempts to reshape the way that we view World War II and its subsequent aftermath in history. Once Germany is defeated in 1945, many tend to think that the end of World War II in Europe finally brought peace back to the ravaged continent. However, as MacDonogh is able to convincingly examine and prove, the end of the war was just the beginning of suffering for millions of Germans spread across Europe. In the book, he sets out to offer a comprehensive view of what happened to the German people when the tables had turned, where they now found themselves defeated and under Allied occupation. In the title, he includes “The Brutal History”, and the author is able to detail and display just how

The end of World War II was not just the end of a war, but also the beginning of a tense and dynamic period that affected society on all levels. This “postwar” period, as it became known, shaped the world, as we know it today; likewise, the period was shaped itself both by the war that had preceded it, and the powerful forces that surrounded it. As the energy of fundamentally different ideologies, Communism and Democracy collided with advances in science such as the nuclear bomb, a dangerous environment ensued that created an atmosphere of paranoia throughout the world and especially, within America.

Imagine being bolted up in a diminutive, poorly-ventilated and crowded wagon for days in your others’, and your own, grime and moisture. You arrive at what seems to be called a concentration camp, and are assured that everything will be fine. Now visualize finding out that you were deceived, while you are gazing above at the gas pouring out of the ceiling into the swarming room of frightful people. And then you’re gone. World War II was a petrifying war that struck the earth with great incredulity. The conflict was instigated in 1939, with Germany’s invasion of Poland, and concluded in 1945 after the Axis powers (Germany, Japan, and Italy) surrendered. Although many gruesome things had happened during this war, as they always do in wars,

In the 1930s World War 2 was about to begin. During World War 2 in Germany a great power arose, the great power was known as The Nazis. A man known as Adolf Hitler was one of Nazi-Germany’s main leaders. Of all the terrible things Hitler and the Nazis did, there is one thing they did that’s intolerable. That thing is known as The Holocaust.

On June 6, 1944 the allies attacked Germany in the east this day is what we normally call D-day the Germans were defeated and pushed out to France and then Germany attacked back in a big battle named the battle of the bulge. (Ducksters) “The end of the war was May 8th, 1945, after nearly six years after the bloody conflict. And now Germany was defeated. (EU learning) Germany was split in half one side was ruled by the Soviet Union the other by the other allies. Many villages were bombed, invaded, and the destruction of many homes and many cities created thousands of refugees and misplaced victims. And almost everyone was affected in some way by the war. Out of all the horrible outcomes of the war the one outcome that affected everyone was that the casualties for the whole globe reached around 60 million and even yet only one third of all the casualties were soldiers meaning many civilians died. (World arms) Only thirty years had passed from the First World War to the end of the second both being started in Europe and both had spread through and greatly affected Europe and the whole world. A common expression in 1945 was “never again” which meant that there is a universal desire to never again have another world
