World Wars 1 & 2

"As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable." Albert Einstein

Humans have passed through wars, difficult situations and problems through. The most terrible of these has been WW1 and WW2. It was the first time all countries in the world were involved in a war. These wars changed the history of humanity were millions of people lost their lives and affected every single person who lived in that time.

World War 1 was from 1914 to 1918, this war was divided in 2 groups: central power with Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman empire and Bulgary. The other group was the Allied power composed by France, Russia, the British empire, and in 1917 United States joined this group. At the end of the war the Allied Power won and Germany, the principal responsible of this war must response for repair all cities and places affected. World War 2 was from 1939 to 1945, this war also was divided in two groups: Axis of evil composed by Germany, Japan and Italy. And the Allies composed by Soviet union, United state, France and United Kingdom. Again Germany lost and the Allies got control over this country.

WW1 and WW2 was an interesting topic that I really liked because we learned about different cultures. Also because it is important to know about the history of the place where we live, and knowing the motifs of such wars. I expect that in the actual world we won’t have wars because it is not a good way to solve problems between countries, also because we have the United Nations in order to solve every day problems, and security in all the countries around the world.
