Ripples of the splash this war made on history are still being felt today. Even more so than its predecessor, this was the most comprehensive global war. The focal point of provided to many is the European battle front but there was just as much, if not more in Asia and even in Africa and the Americas. This war ushered in new battle tactics and humanitarian issues that would have far reaching consequences. The war showed the unimportance of painting scenes by numbers, rather the significance of a well laid strategy and the arising importance of technology. Treatment of prisoners, use of inhumane weaponry and mass killings resulted in a new look at the actions of war.New international structures were put in place to keep this from happening. The fresh understanding of the negative impacts on society have kept countries in a more peaceful state with countries not allying up to confront another alliance but countries allying together to right previous wrongs. Some of those wrongs are even products of World War 2. Aside from repercussions on the war front, the outcomes of World War II have provided interesting new behavioral paradigm changes and ways of living. The actual battlefront has received a lot of attention and so have the aftereffects in a global-political scope but very little attention has been given to the way that people have thought since the conclusion of World War II. Being met with such atrocities and gruesome battles, the world changed absolutely and for the better. Let’s explore the lessons that can be taken away from World War II and consider how to apply these lessons to your daily life. First, let’s try to get a better understanding of the battlefield and the events leading up to it.

Book excerpt: This book documents the case that World War II happened in such a different world that it has little relevance to today's foreign policy, as well as the case that U.S. participation in WWII was not justifiable. Specifically, WWII was not fought to rescue anyone from persecution, was not necessary for defense, was the most damaging and destructive event yet to occur, and would not have happened had any one of these factors been missing: World War I, the manner in which WWI was ended, U.S. funding and arming of Nazis, a U.S. arms race with Japan, U.S. development of racial segregation, U.S. development of eugenics, U.S. development of genocide and ethnic cleansing, or the U.S. and British prioritization of opposing the Soviet Union at all costs. The author corrects numerous misconceptions about the most popular and misunderstood war in western culture, in order to build a case for moving to a world beyond war.
