Why the Major Twentieth Century Conflicts Affected so Many People

War has been a inseparable part of the human experience. Well for most of our specie’s existence at least. It was always a way to secure your interests when diplomacy hits a brick wall. However throughout the 20th century all that began to change. In this essay I will aim to explain how the perspective of war changed for the individual, the state and globally in the 20th century through reasons such as the democratization, globalization and the rise of more advanced weapons. This research question links with the topic “changing communities” as war affects the smallest community which in my option is the family to the largest which is the global community.

The world has suffered the consequences of more than one battle because of the unstoppable differences among people. As a matter of fact, a lot of unnecessary disputes have left an unprecedented legacy of blood, pain, and anger not only to the people who suffered them but also to the entire world. Some of these fights were in the name of justice, but that does not justify the fact that billions of innocent people were murdered. Two of the most disastrous events in history that almost left the world in a total collapse were World War I and World War II. These wars were very similar in some ways, however we can also find some differences among them.

The great war effected everyone during the early 1900’s. Many do not know why it happened or what was benefited from it. World war 1 was named “the Great War” because of the impact it had on the world. There are many factors, both large and small, that have contributed to starting the Great War. But no one knows why it had to happen, the factors were not big enough to start a large scale war.

The Holocaust is known as one of the darkest side and one of the most vast hardships in the 20th century. “Holocaust,” comes from the Greek words, “holos” and “kaustos.” The word, “holos,” means whole and the word, “kaustos,” means burned. It was historically used to illustrate a sacrificial offering of the burning on an altar. Ever since 1945, this word has been taken to a whole other level. Today, the meaning behind this word is the universal murder of 6 million Jews ("The Holocaust"). In 1933, more than 60% of the world’s Jewish population lived in Europe. In a little more than a decade, most of Europe would be conquered by the Nazis and every two out of three would be

In the 20th century after the First World War, the world was in political and economic crisis.

The world of the early 20th century was a brewing cesspit of nationalism and militarism coupled with isolationism and web of alliances. One might have noted if they lived at such a t time that war was inevitable, but no one was quite sure how such a conflict could arise after many of the world powers had consolidated in military alliances with each other. The ultimate irony of this mindset is that the alliances that were meant to bring about endless peace, would lead to the greatest war ever seen on the face of the earth. The forging of these alliances divided the prewar world powers in half, which only heightened any instances of conflict between each side. The ability for anything that normally wouldn’t be an international incident before

From the beginning of the 19th century to the first two decades of the 20th century the world faced hardships, prosperity, and tremendous advancements. It started with a Great War that dealt with Communism and it ended with revolutions and revolts trying to end Communism forever. The century basically had come full circle. During the late 1980s and early 1990s uneasiness was growing in Eastern Europe. There were revolutions and revolts all over Eastern Europe trying to get rid of Communism forever. Instead of Monarchs and leaders bringing war to this situation, Hungary and East Germany were in revolt and brought revolution to their land to fight back against their Communist government.

In the late 20th century, the world was shaken with the news of two major Islamic revolutions. The first one happened at Iran and the second one happened in Afghanistan. As a result Islamic law and religious oppression ruled both of these countries. Although religious fundamentalism played a big role in these revolutions, both of them had very different cultural, political and economic reasons for happening.

The poetry, artwork and story by people who witnessed the Great War depict chaos, destruction and death. To the world and future generations it is a stark reminder of this horror and atrocities of war and that human beings should never again engage in such wanton destruction of life and property. In this paper, these literature and art is discussed in detail to illustrate the destruction and death told of by these witnesses.

WWII had an effect on people’s lives. People were urged to wear gas masks to protect themselves from possible gas attacks. Women and Children were moved from big cities to countryside (Barrow 2013: sp). Gruhl (2013) states that:” The war was four times more destructive of life, and even more destructive of infrastructure, property, and economies, than the First world War.” Some 300 million people lost their lives during the war Gruhl(2013: 24). Some of the people, who survived, suffered terribly. Russia suffered a great los with a number of 20 million lives.

War has always been a part of human life and the growth of every country in the world. It was either war between two or more countries or war within the country. Some fought to gain independence, some fought to expand its power and some just fought because they were allies to the country at war. No matter what the reason was, war has left a great impact to how things are today. Two of most brutal wars in the world were World War 1 and World War 2. Both of this war has some similarities and difference in why it occurred and what was the affect of the aftermath.

Not much has changed but the world grew more advanced the towns are growing bigger, and the days feel shorter. Some people's lives have ended and some have begun. The war has ended 6 years ago. The family you once knew is gone, but a new generation was born. And an island has formed in the Pacific ocean. Buildings have became bigger and made with more glass.

In World War 2 over 65 million people lost their lives. The emotional toll on the families of the lost soldiers soon followed. Throughout World War 2 we gained many allies, but because of all the destruction that the was caused, for example, peoples homes and all their precious materials being stolen or destroyed, we lost a vast majority of those them. The taking of so many lives and destroying of countries can cause a lot of hate on the nations that inflicted this destruction. This can cause young kids to grow up hating other nations and that is when conflict can start. The lives that are lost during wartime are undeniably one of the biggest causes of death. One thing that every country has in common is the death toll that they face in war. Conflict arises no matter what the cause. The way to grow as a world is to control these conflicts with verbal communication instead of using war as an option.

When a war or conflict take place all the thing surrounded with the place where the conflict happened will be get disturbed all the people living or related to that particular place get affected. The severe effects will be suffered by the children in that place as they are the most vulnerable section.

In the history of the world there are many occurrences that have changed life and the world, as we know it. The history of conflicts in the world is just as long as the histories of man have bee recorded. From the beginning the human species survived off of conflict (between various predators and the environment) and has been nourished by the fruits of war since before the rise of the Roman Empire. World conquest has been the goal of many great generals and a great many Kings. Through the years there were many conflicts that were thought to be the worst that ever was and the worst that would ever be (World War I in particular). World war two is said to be the war to end all wars, because of the leaders,
