WWI and WWII are two of the deadliest conflicts in human history. With over 98 million combined casualties these wars changed mankind. What made these wars so deadly? Why did they even start? These wars are actually more similar than generally perceived. WWI (1914 -1918) starts when Serbia assassinates Austria-Hungary’s Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. The assassination causes Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia. Russia declares war on Austria-Hungary causing Germany to declare war on…

Many say that as long as there is life, there is hope. However, in addition to humanity maintaining its belief in better days to come, it also tears itself apart through civil wars within the conflict within the species; that is, war. War is as evil as the Pandora’s box of emotions that cause it. And yet, the truest malice of war is not causing death, but living with the weight of experiencing it. In its wake war leaves millions of soldiers, civilians and prisoners of war haunted by memories of…

It is through instances…

rockets, which leaded to the exploration of outer space. Even though the war has its negatives such as the deaths of the atomic bombs, the inhumane actions of the holocaust, and Hitler taking invading different countries with the help of the German nation. In my opinion nobody ever wins a war, both side losses millions of people. The aftermath of WW2 is somewhat related to the fate of the Trojan women. The German soldiers that got killed in war and executed from trials left loved ones. Their…

He inspired all Germans to stay their bodies pure of any intoxicating or unclean substance. The Holocaust was conducted beneath racial hygiene. Between 1939 and 1945, Nazis and their collaborators were answerable for the deaths of eleven million to fourteen million folks, as well as concerning million Jews, representing common fraction of the…

or have a different color skin. It is hard to, isn’t it? A little country in Africa, the size of Vermont, has been through this. Rwanda was a country that was divided by violence and genocide. But after years of suffering they have outgrown the aftermath and united again. I picked the song Heartbeat by The Fray that mentioned these aspects and decided to research the genocide. Rwanda was a country torn apart by ignorance between two groups known as Hutu and Tutsi. But the violence and separation…
