"I know not with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with stick and stones."-Albert Einstein. When Einstein made this statement he assumed that if World War 3 were to happen that it would be on a global scale and may cause massive destruction and most likely and most likely with the use of nuclear warfare which would lead to World War 4 being fought with primitive weapons. Today the way wars or conflicts are fought have come a long way since then, along with…

of Goods During the War “Do with less so they’ll have more.” That quote speaks about the novelty of helping the soldiers when they don’t have much while on duty. They sacrifice their life so we can be free, so it seems fair to lose some of our many freedoms so they can fight for us. Rationing was a major issue during World War II that burdened many lives around the world. While it made many people frustrated, it was always for a reputable cause. Depending on where in the world you were, there…

Shortly before World War II began, women were trying to enact changes in their lives. For a long time many women had a struggle finding gainful employment outside the home. A lot of women would work in family businesses in an unpaid position and doing things like preparing food, making goods to be used at home, cleaning and taking care of children.

Usually, it is not until many years later that specific actions and events in history become essential and highly influential pieces of the larger picture. Then it is possible to evaluate the causes of these crucial moments. It is the same with World War II. Looking back generally, it is easy to pinpoint key moments as Hitler initially swept through Europe with little resistance from European powers Britain and France. Similarly, it is possible to identify an increase in Japanese aggression as…

Europe during the First World War was seemed to be risen by the conflict between the nations for defense of itself from others, but also the failed diplomacy of Europe. This major event was meant to be at rest using the Treaty of Versailles as a peace agreement for the conflicting nation. The two major wars during 1914 through 1945 had many similarities which could possibly have accounted for one war although with a short break in between. Since the mid-19th century, there had been an increase…

I'm WW1 there was a ton of death. 9 million soldiers died in action, and 21 million wounded and probably more. France lost a good percentage of its population to the war. The death tolls for WW1 was a high number, and a very slim amount of that was Americans that died.
