Second World

World War II was set off by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, in which Germany was forced to comply with a set of very strict terms which were intended to prevent the event of another war. Obviously, this backfired spectacularly; this much can be seen from the very fact that the Second World War did indeed happen. These terms caused national outrage, as Germany’s pride as a country had suffered greatly. One individual who sought to restore the nation back to its former glory had been Hitler…

The Second World War was a significant time period in World history and it is interesting to expand knowledge on the subject matter. Paul Kennedy’s main focus was to venture away from previous publications of World War Two and provide the reader with information about middle class people and technologies that contributed to the termination of the war from 1943 to roughly July of 1944. Most publications only will focus on names of important military generals and large scale battles such as the…

Second World War is considered by many to be one of the political events of the 20th century that has undeniably transformed our society in terms of social, political and personal life. Among the factors that have undergone some considerable changes is the way political communication is carried out throughout postwar years and up until today. Following the general modernization of society, the emergence of advanced technological means of distributing information, the pivotal role of media in…

The Second World War started in 1939, with Britain and France declaring war on Germany. This war drew in most of the countries in the world, with over 60 million deaths in total. It has now been more than 70 years since the war started, and the spotlight is on the countries that had the largest armies, navies and air forces, but the great impact that Canadian soldiers had on the war should not be lost. Many people have dismissed Canada as a peaceful, non-militaristic country, but saying that…

The cause of the Second World War has been debated since the war ended. In my history class we were talking about the World Wars and I began to wonder what caused them. The Great War was inevitable and ended with the Allies winning and them issuing the Treaty of Versailles. Because this treaty caused much discontentment amongst the Germans, many come to the conclusion that the Treaty of Versailles was to blame for the Second World War, however the treaty was only the immediate cause and there…

The Second World War has a devastating impact on today’s people and spanned for 6 years (1939 – 1945). Enraged and shamed from the outcome of the First World War (1914 – 1918) Germany was a brewing pot for civil unrest and revenge. Economic pressure and the harsh conditions of ‘The Treaty of Versailles’ led rise to a radical political party, the Nazi Party. As one event leads to bigger consequences like the ripples on the water’s surface, Hitler’s plans to restore Germany’s pride played on the…

Throughout the second world war, the United Kingdom was kept stable due to their Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill used powerful speeches a medium for encouraging his people. Despite being born into aristocracy, Churchill was still a self-made man. He portrayed leadership not only in governing his country, but in himself by overcoming obstacles including a speech impediment to not being particularly courageous. Churchill has gone down in history as a figurehead of hope, and…

The effects of that war was not only economical, but it was also social and political. The war led to the emerge of many writers and movements like the feminist movement. We will start by mentioning the effects of the economical, social and political collapse in Europe. Before the war, Europe had a period of nineteen years of peace. The peace was not…

On the subject of history and religious atrocities, just after the second world war, our labour government in cooperation with the catholic church, and a few other lesser organisations, sent a load of orphans, and some kids that weren't orphans but were told they were, to live in Australia, told about a land of milk and honey and warm weather. Many if not all were sent to work on farms or on construction jobs, a lot of them were abused, beaten and made to work long hours. Kid's that suffered the…
