Racism During World War Ii

“To scores of millions of participants, the war was a race war. It exposed raw prejudices and was fueled by racial pride arrogance, and rage on many sides.” From start to finish, it is apparent that the Second World War was centered on a racial induced feud.

One simply can’t cause the Holocaust but by being specific in choosing who to target, the power of charisma, and giving the people what they want can create a living hell
