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
