Participants in World War II

World War II was stained with blood, concentration camps, and death. Before it, World War I had left countries in shambles and many were still recovering from its damages. Germany was in shambles, but it took a more offensive approach to get back what they had lost. As Hitler’s aggression began to worsen, nations around the world began to plan for the result. The United States intended to stay out of it, but soon they found themselves arming Britain, they had picked the allied side. Meanwhile,…

in Europe (Miller, 2015). Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University, sought out the reasoning behind why Nazi soldiers blindly obeyed authority, especially after the Nuremberg War Criminal trials in World War II (McLeod, 2007). The Nuremberg War Criminal trials consisted of thirteen trials against the higher ranked “Nazi war criminals.” The Nazi criminals killed innocent Jews, but proceeded to do so anyway during the Holocaust (Nuremberg Trials, 2015). Some of the Nazis knew killing Jews were…

“When the war began, the United States had entered a period of isolationism. Americans viewed the conflict as Europe’s problems and wished to keep it that way” (“Reasons for American Entry into World War II” 1). America could have avoided the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Holocaust could have been stopped earlier and the death count would have been less. Europe would not have fallen to Hitler’s Power, and the war would of ended much sooner than 1945. Before America could join the war, President…

polar opposite. Originally one united country, the separation of the two states along the 38th parallel due to the aftermath of World War II explains the different ideologies that came to found each country. It can be argued that North Korea is one of the world’s most secluded countries. Even in the present day, North Korea has an isolationist stance with the rest of the world (Seth 233). This can be traced to the founding of North Korea. After the division of Korea, North Korea or the…

Many Americans had come out of the World War II certain that they had won a good war, but that same was not said about the Vietnam. World War II was the Second World War that was considered the “good war” where involving over 60 different countries and 75 million troops coming from all parts of the world. World War II…

diplomacy is never considered by everyone involved in the diplomatic affair. As for military intervention, it does not always involve a much stronger country and a small country that cannot fend for itself. Opposition to war is not too uncommon. Many believe that staying out of wars is a necessity because focusing what is going on within our own country should be a top priority until most, if not all, of the problems are solved. It is unethical to worry about the way other…

World War II, along with the Holocaust, is one of the most historically meaningful periods in history. The Nazi soldiers, under the direction of Adolf Hitler, were responsible for the genocide of millions of Jews and other undesirables in Poland and the death camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau.

The project was originally named Development of Substitute Materials. It included over 30 different research and production…

Civil wars have played an increasingly important role in the global conflict map. The quasi-disappearance of interstate wars has led scholars of international relations and international security specializing in the study of war to shift their focus to the one instance of war primarily practiced today, namely the intrastate war, of which the largest category concerns civil wars. This article follows substantial literature on the effects of natural resources on these kinds of wars by reviewing…
