History of the World War 1939-1945, |
From 1939 to 1945, Germany's military machine struck out and conquered most
of Western Europe, swept into deserts of North Africa
and drove deep into
the hinterlands of Russia.In time, however, the Allies gathered strength and
eventually crushed the German Army and Axis powers with a display of
brute force that has remained unmatched to this day.What started out
as a war based on military technical tactics and blitzkriegs,
later became a war reliant on industry and mass production.
When World War II began in 1939, Germany was the aggressor, it was later
joined in June 1940, by Italy, and Japan in December 1941.
Together they formed
the major Axis nations, each had their strenghts
and weakness.
From 1900 until the late 1930's the armies of the world believed that
massed infantry charges, heavy artillery, and static defenses could
dominate and control any battlefield.But on the morning of September 1st
1939, the world was forever changed as Germany invaded Poland and executed
its first "Blitzkrieg" or "Lightning attack", quickly crushing Polish resistance.
Victory won over evil, we have still not found peace or
safety and we are still in the grip of dangers which are even worse than the
ones we have survived.I seriously hope that a careful consideration of the past
may show us the way in the years to come, that it will enable the new generation
to make up for the errors (against animals and wildlife too, not only people)
committed in the past and that they will thus be able to rule this vast, rapidly
developing world, in accordance with the needs and the dignity of mankind, with the
help of all the numerous new technological developments at our disposal, such as
nuclear energy and electronics, and all their benefits.
