The Pros And Cons Of WWII

In the early part of the twentieth century the world witnessed many dramatic events related to the barbaric human desire to occupy peaceful nations for the sake of expanding self-centered nationalism ideologies. Countries adopted such approach were Nazi Germany (had already been defeated in World War I), Fascist Italy, and Imperialistic -militarism Japan. These countries comprised what was then called the Axis countries. These countries claimed the historical credit of starting the World War II (WWII). The Axis countries started the WWII each by their own merits. In 1931 Japan occupied Manchuria from China that lead to a long war in Asia and the Pacific, in 1935 Italy invaded Ethiopia and parts of north Africa, and Germany’s outrage

In 1945, the USA dropped two atomic bombs on two Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The devastation caused by the bombs lead to immediate surrender of Japan to the allied forces lead by the USA. Japan as a country was destructed by the war effect. The infrastructure of roads, water and power were heavily destroyed. Japan lost all of its occupied territories in the pacific and east Asia.

The Soviet Union controlled zone started to develop separately from the other three western zones as a result of the communist economic polies introduced then of redistributing the land to the farmers and transferring the companies to the state ownership. In 1946 the USA and Britain controlled zones merged with each other and became the “Bizonia”, and in 1947, the USA did not see any hope of success to the cooperation process with the Soviet Union that was intended to lead back then to the reunification of Germany .
