The world today is very different than compared to the past. Why do people even hate another race.

Many think how this makes sense because they think if we can’t get over racism today than how will we end up? This had no answer and nobody can tell exactly what will happen, but if it escalates in the future, it could end up in some type of civil war again all over just the color of someone's skin. Even though you might say or notice someone is black, white or, Asian or British and they might sound or look different does that change who they are? No! because that is what they are but what they are also doesn’t matter, what does matter is people need to stop complaining and get over it and learn that someone isn’t defined over what type of race or religion they are, it is about what they are doing or have done that shows who they are or defines who they were and that is how you should actually define

    While reading the very first section titled The Great War: The World in Upheaval, I thought that the catalyst for war was the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, but as I was reading more, I learned that it was more than that.

Also, if the U.S. had gone with president Woodrow Wilson’s fourteen points instead of the Treaty of Versailles, would World War 2 be avoidable or happen at all?…
