War is an ugly event that man has created over time. Darwin once said, “History is a battle of nations and races against one another for their domination. It is genetics and the belief in a master nation and master race.” War does two things; it helps or it hurts. It honors or it hijacks. Usually however war binds people together if the fight is for right of justice.

War affects anybody involved or not. It can affect a family whose loved one has been lost to gun battle. War can affect a soldier coming home in an altered state that leaves him incapable of picking up his life and starting over. People who live in war-zoned countries suffer the most because they are innocent civilians stuck in a terrible position when they cannot help themselves or their families escape.

World War II started in 1939 when Germany had invaded Poland. After the invasion occurred, France and Great Brittan declared war. America decided to stay neutral in the process. In the early morning of December 7th, 1941, the Japanese dropped bombs on naval base Pearl Harbor. The attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters. The day following December 7th the United States declared war on Japan.

The consequences of World War II were catastrophic. World War II ended in 1945 with the United States dropping two atomic bombs on Hiroshima. After the war ended countries involved suffered severe aftermaths. Civilians is Japan were plagued with radiation poisoning, houses were gone and towns were ruined. America had to emotionally rebuild as well. Families lost their fathers and sons to the peril of war. Some soldiers did not make it home to their families after World War II. That’s consequence enough. Milne’s story “A Boy Comes Home From the War” is a good example of aftermaths of war.

In conclusion my personal preference of listening or watching fiction and drama really depends on

    World War II began in September of 1939 when Germany invaded Poland without a proper declaration of war. The United States entered World War II in December of 1941 after Japanese forces attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, creating heavy casualties and severe damage to the United States naval forces anchored there. (Tassava, C. Feb.10, 2008). In the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese killed 2,402 Americans, destroying at least five battleships and putting three of them out of commission completely. The Japanese also sank or heavily damaged at least 11 other American warships, and destroyed over 180 aircrafts on the ground. Not only attacking Pear Harbor, Japan also attacked the United States territories of Wake and Midway Islands, Guam, and the Philippines. Japan had planned this attack on Pearl Harbor around January of 1941. When warplanes from Japan launched a surprise attack on the U. S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii the war in the Pacific began in early December of 1941. At the same time, Japan was already at war with China for several years. China managed to seize the Chinese territory of Manchuria. For the United States, World War II and the Great Depression constituted the most important economic event of the twentieth century.

    War is something that has ravaged the world for centuries. It is a fight for power and land that has very tragic outcomes of death. It can be dated back to the infamous wars of the Roman Empire. It ravaged Europe with wars between kingdoms. The most tragic of all I feel is World War II. The Nazi party gained control and ravaged Europe for power. The most tragic part was it's inhumane killing of non-agrarian people, around the number of six million. This is not the only time when crimes against humanity occurred. There are plenty of other through out history.…

    War simply changes every aspect involving people perspectives on life, relations even their personalities. During war soldiers lose the purpose of their battle. Soldiers do not even care about the effect they have on the family of the murdered, possibly leaving a child without a father. They are so over whelmed by their environment that they care for nothing but their own survival. “An adventurous expedition had turned into an exhausting, indecisive war of attrition in which we fought for no cause other than our own survival” (Source E 21-22). People leaving their families return with a different attitude and personality than when they first left. Many soldiers become traumatized by the events they witness and participated in causing irreversible damage to the brain.…
