World War 2 : A Global War

I believe that World War II was a continuation of World War I because of some not resolved issues. Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles by expanding the military and invading Poland. One of the events that led to the beginning of World War 1 was: Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism, and Nationalism; which stands for MAIN. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia but they then joined up with Russia. After, Germany declared war on Russia which caused the war to expand. World War I ended in 1918 when Germany surrendered. It also had a great impact on European countries after it ended.

World War II was the most destructive and deadliest war in history. There were about eleven million people killed just in the holocaust. World War II started on September 1st, 1939 after Germany invaded Poland. Three days later Britain and France declared war on Germany, at the time the U.S. was neutral. Through 1941, germany controlled most of Europe and was a very big threat.

World War two is remembered as the Good War, but like most wars, mobilization of the patriotic public opinion is necessary . Advertisers came up with a series of mottos to help sell World War Two to the people: One of the major words being “freedom” . The war was supposed to protect Americans freedom, use honorable means, and bring freedom to foreign nations but that’s not exactly what it did. When people think of WW2 as the Good War, many memories of the war are being left out. World War Two was not a Good War in the least bit.

World War II happened during the time that women wanted more rights and wanted to be able to work. So when World War II happened, it created new job opportunities and women were able and willing to work. The war was fought between two alliances that was against each other, “the opposing alliances are now referred to as ‘The Axis’ and ‘The Allies’. The Axis group consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allies group consisted of France, Britain, the U.S., the Soviet Union, and China. World War II was especially heinous because of the genocide of Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis.” (Diffen LLC, n.d.d). World War II is known for being a brutal and long war that involved more than thirty countries. Also, some of the important things of

World War II was a period in history which contained a motley of quarrels and conflicts. General Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower played a significant role in the theatre of World War II. In the conflict, General Eisenhower served not only as a 5 star general in the the United States Army, but also served as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe. As a _____ leader, General Eisenhower coined the historical term “military-industrial complex”, and also led several pivotal conflicts(??) throughout the course of the war, some of which include the invasion of North Africa in Operation Torch (1942-1943) and the invasion of France and Germany from the Western Front in Operation Overlord (AKA D-Day).

Most people think D-Day is a day that we freed France. This is true , however, there is much more to it. Many soldiers deceased, and people lost loved ones. One of the bloodiest battles in World War II was on June 6, 1944 on Omaha , Juno, Gold,   Sword, and Utah beaches to free France from the Nazis ' and make them surrender.(D-Day by Martha Brack Martin) People have been told that the cause of the war was because Hitler believed in the perfect race. This may be true, but others have different reasons. Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the war to help plan for D-Day and lead them into the war. He was responsible for the whole thing. Franklin Roosevelt may have helped and same with Winston Churchill.

America was involved during World War Two which was considered the greatest war of its existence. It took a whole nation and a significant amount of manpower to win the war. The United States’ involvement greatly changed the tide of world history by conquering the axis powers. World War Two was the result of Hitler’s Nazi Party comes to power, invading most of Europe and the United States freeing Europe. World War Two has made the world a better place to live because it eliminated an evil empire that would have destroyed the world.

I have decided to write about World War II, because it was the most deadly Conflict of all of the Wars that we have yet to witness. World War II dated from September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945. World War II was fought in Europe, the Pacific, Atlantic, South-East Asia, China, Middle East, Mediterranean and Northern Africa. It was a War between the Allied Nations and the Axis Nations. The Allied nations included mostly United States soldiers but also included soldiers from at least twelve different nations. The Main Allied powers were France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States. The other Allies of the United Nations were Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Dominican Republic, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Poland, Salvador, South Africa, Yugoslavia, Philippines, Mexico, Ethiopia, Iraq, some freed Frenchman, and some freed Danes. The Commanders of the Allied Forces were Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Chiang Kai-shek, and Charles de Gaulle. The Commanders of the Axis Forces were Adolf Hitler, Hirohito, and Benito Mussolini.

World War II is often seen as one of the great wars of the modern era. The allies and axis powers both accomplished major scientific advancements and brought about projects of great engineering marvel. Both sides place enormous efforts into the research of new and improved war machines, firearms, and weapons of mass destruction. Nazi Germany jump-started their nuclear project in the mid-1939, a whole three years in advance of the British and the Americans joint effort. Despite Germany’s head start, the Americans still managed to surpass them and eventually dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. Consequently, the Japanese surrendered and it effectively ended the war in the Pacific. Why did the Germans fail in spite of their head start? Questions are often raised about the confidence of German scientists more specifically regarding the well-respected physicist Werner Heisenberg. The play Copenhagen by Michael Frayn acts out two conversations Heisenberg has with another respected physicist Niels Bohr. It brings to light the different possible reasons for Germany’s failure in developing a nuclear weapon.

Most people have had a problem with someone, some might refer to it like a war. War by definition is generally characterized by extreme aggression, destruction, and mortality. However, for forty-four years a war that would scare millions around the world occurred. This war was not all brutality, it was arguments that would change the world forever. This war was known as the Cold War.

“One death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic.”- These words were spoken by Joseph Stalin after the largest and bloodiest battle in human history, Stalingrad. The eastern front of World War II was one the bloodiest single war of all time. Once the Germans invaded the USSR they did not know they had unleashed the Soviet storm. During Russia’s great patriotic war, the battles of the eastern front led to the downfall of the German Reich.

In the after math of World War 1 Germany was in a demolished state. All of the cities were in ruin and it was in the ashes of the former glory that it had once been in. the German people had to try and rebuild their destroyed country. But this was incredibly hard due to the fact that the treaty of Versailles was squeezing what little amount of revenue they were able to generate in the economy. Germany had to do something, they needed something or someone to bring them back to their former glory and help them become a major power in the world again. Soon they would get just what they needed.

The First World War left massive destructions in the world since many people lost their lives and even property. These massive destructions were as partly as a result of the introduction of new war weapons, for example, machine guns and gas warfare. This war was majorly between Germany and the Allied power but Germany was blamed for the destructions that came about because they are said to have initiated the war (Kissinger, 2014). These destructions made people have a lot of fear towards any kind of war and nobody wished for any war to start again because people feared losing lives and property once again. It is said that hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Western Front particularly lost their lives in this war.

WWI was it truly a global conflict? Yes because even if the country was not “in the war” they technically would be because the major powers would force their way through a certain country and if the allies were to here that a army there fighting against are invading a country they were to have a alliance with they would go to the country and start a war with the invading country and cause a conflict in the “Neutral” country and an all-out war would begin in the country either hurting the people of the land or damaging the country itself crippling towns and peoples business with the point it shows that everyone in the war would be affected even if they wanted nothing to do with the war with this info its should help us with our current status showing people that want to go into WWIII that if its only with two countries it’s never truly just two other country’s will end up getting involved even if they don’t want to so at all cost we should avoid any more World War in the future.

This essay is about World War 2. World War 2 is the most destructive war ever. After reading about it in history class I'm glad I wasn’t born during that time. If I was in that war I would be laying on the ground shooting trying to not get shot. I'm thankful for the people who was in the war fighting for their lives because I would be scared to die. I can't believe that they would fight for their lives just for us to get freedom. The first atomic bomb was dropped in World War 2. 200,000 people died because of the atomic bomb. The next day 70,000 people died because of the toxic that was still lingering. Overall, World War 2 is the worst war that was ever fought.
