Outcomes+of+World+War+II

=__Outcomes Of World War II__ = // Considered the "most transforming war in history" ( WatchMojo)// World war 2 was considered the most destructive war in all of history. An estimated number of 50 million people died because of world war 2, half of them being non-enlisted civilians. The war took a estimated total of 2 trillion dollars from the world economy. Cities were leveled to the ground, usable land completely destroyed, leaving over a million people homeless. the center of economic and military power shifted from Europe to the Americas. The concentration camps, or death camps, became revealed and showed just a fracture of the horror in world war 2. And new weapon systems were introduced, with catastrophic destructive power: the atomic bomb (and other atomic weapons). After the war the world was left to pick up the ruins of world war 2 or also known as the war to end all wars.  http://titangraphix.smugmug.com/Art/American-VintageArt-and/American-Vintage-Art-and-Ads/11-x-14-00301BE0236713/967957271_CBbRz-L.jpg

//The following is just a list of some of the changes and outcomes brought on by world war 2...//

**Loss of life and infastructure: **
After World War II ended all the countries around the world had a huge problem to face. Both sides of the war, the allies and axis suffered terribly from great losses, there was a estimated of 55 million people were killed in battle or on the home front. The Soviet Union(Russia)had the 2nd most casualties during the war, they lost more than 20 million soldiers and civilians. In Poland it was the worst of all, they lost 1/5th of the entire population there! Also 6 million Jews died during the holocaust because of the Nazis.  In less than 5 minutes thousands of Japanese citizens died with the use of the incredibly destructive, atomic bomb. The war took a estimated total of 2 trillion dollars from the world economy.

 Cities were leveled to the ground, usable land completely destroyed, leaving over a million people homeless. the center of economic and military power shifted from Europe to the Americas, because the land of the United States of America was virtually untouched, disregarding the bombing of pearl harbor.

**Fear! **

 * After the war ended there was hope that a atomic war would never come.
 * This was cause by: devastated of the Atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
 * Countries such as Britain had to begin rationing food such as bread and meat, and the rationing of their food did not end till several years after the war, for fear of severe starvation.


 * What happened to the Axis Powers?**

 Everywhere else the postwar reconstruction was supported, but it was very painful and long to do it. Also after the terrible and horror of World War II there was a strong desire to never relive that again. The concentration camps, or death camps, became reveiled and showed just a fracture of the horror in world war 2. Many Nazis and war officers stood from the Axis Powers were executed, charged with and found guilty with crimes against humanity. The trials lasted to over 1 year because of the extent of war criminals. However not all officers were killed... Rudolf Hess flew from his home and crash landed in Scotland. He was captured, quickly surrendered, and sentenced to life in prison. Meanwhile their soldiers were held in concentration camps for long periods of time All nations of the former Axis Powers were devastated. Japan was one of the last nations to surrender, and quickly fell after the atomic bombings of their cities. Germany, was then left to completely rebuild itself without any help from aide.

 * Many Nazis and war officers stood from the Axis Powers were executed, charged with and found guilty with crimes against humanity. However not all officers were killed... Rudolf Hess flew from his home and crash landed in Scotland. He was captured, quickly surrendered, and sentenced to life in prison

United nations was founded after world war 2, replacing the league of nations. Its goal was to spread peace and prevent wars between countries. It is still standing today.  http://ahc.uwyo.edu/images/online_collections/exhibits/veterans/veteran19b.jpg
 * Formation of the United Kingdoms**

** Effect on Technology: **
The war had a effect on science and technology. There were extensive technological improvements made during the war. The English developed radar which is also used for TV’s. Also there was progresses movements in electronics and computers, were made during the war, that provided a foundation for greater progress which fundamentally changed the postwar world. And for science; There was the development of the Nuclear Bomb which was made by the Europeans and Americans scientists during World War 2, which not only changed the nature of potential wars of the future, it was marked as the beginning of the nuclear power industry (introduced Nuclear power(power plants)). <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">http://bigdesignevents.com/portal/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/WW2_Tank.jpg <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The atomic bombs that dropped on Hiroshima and Naga
 * What effects did the two atomic bombs have on Japan?**

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">saki caused many terrible things. Such as, in Hiroshima there was a estimated 90,000–166,000 deaths and in 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki, and about 300-400,000 more people died after the bomb from the radiation levels. The two atomic bombs caused major radiation levels in those areas. It has been said that the radiation levels in Hiroshima and Nagasaki have settled down. And after the bombs dropped in Japan the Allies forces invaded Japan and days later Japan surrendered to the Allies. The War caused Japan to forced to sign the Treaty of San Francisco which ended japan's imperialism and to give the Allies back their imprisoned troops.

** Introduction of women into the workforce and a decrease in racism: **
As women became more important in war effort, they received jobs in the workforce, eventually gaining the right to vote. Their importance in the workforce did not disappear after the war. Also there was a decrease in racism toward other colored men. http://0.tqn.com/d/civilliberty/1/0/w/6/-/-/feminism6.jpg

** Japanese Americans Deported: **
Over 120000 American residents suspected of having relations or ancestry in the Japanese area were rounded up and shipped off to concentration camps, because the bombing of pearl harbor by the Japanese and war with the Axis powers allies, japan. Many Americans of other Asian residence were also deported to concentration camps. They were forced at gunpoint to leave everything they had, including their house, any possessions such as porcelain, their pets, property, and could bring only what they could carry with them. Conditions in the camp were poor and miserable.

After the war, the imprisoned Japanese and Asian residents were allowed to leave the concentration camps, however, they were left with nothing, as all their property, house, and previous possessions had been either looted, claimed, or sold. They returned with nothing but each other. Because of world war 2 Japanese and Asian American residents had nothing of value. The same thing happened north of America, in Canada. Both the u.s. government and the Canadian government “Made-up” for the concentration of the Japanese and Asian citizens by giving them a small amount of 20,000 dollars.

** Land and Political Changes: **
<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;">After WWII the territory of many countries were redrawn such as Germany, losing land to Poland <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">also Italy lost African colony and land to France and Greece. Japan also lost all of the land it had claimed outside the island. Japan also was forced into a democracy and lost its right to declare war this leaves japan without a army. Russia acquired lots of land during ww2 from places like

World War 2 appeared to present a threat to human civilization and it supported the vision of international peace. The united nations was officially established in 1945 to keep peace throughout the world. The world community was seen to be entering a new era of international cooperation. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline;">Estonia ,Czechoslovakia, Romania and Lithuania. Russia wanted a nuclear bomb like the Americans and began making one in 1949 they succeeded and this started the cold war. The UN was created to prevent another World war from happening again. Many countries in east Europe and Asia became communist after the war the communist countries included Russia as the leader and China,North Korea, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Romania. As a result of WW II Germany was divided up into four different areas that were controlled by the Allied victors. England was des ecrated by the war, mostly from extensive bombing from the Germans.

Germany was viewed as a dark evil nation, not just viewed that way by the world but by themselves. The document was published before the surrender of Japan and the use of the two Atomic Bombs, but after the war had ended with the allied powers. For many this was probably the first time they had the knowledge that the greatest war in history had ended with the allied powers at the victor.

Official word, has come that the war in Europe has come to an end on the 2,074th day of the war. Nazi Germany has surrendered unconditionally to the victorious Allied powers. ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Montgomery had refused to accept a surrender to Britain and the United States without the inclusion of the Soviet Union. Presiunabiy the Nazis were so desperately anxious to gain peace that they took a big gulp and swallowed the necessity of surrendering to Russia .Happy days are here again " Canadians, along with a billion other people, have an unequalled occasion for wholehearted rejoicing. ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The German foreign minister, Schwerin Von Krosigk, went on their at Fleneburg, just south of the Danish border, sad said: ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">"German men and women!" Schwerin Von Krosigk began his dramatic announcement. "The high command of armed forces has today, at the order of Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, declared the unconditional surrender of all fighting German troops. ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After a heroic tight of almost six years of incomparable hardness, Germany has succumbed to the overwhelming power of her enemies.To continue the war would only mean senseless bloodshed and futile disintegration. ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The government, which has feeling of responsibility for the future of its nation, was compelled to act on the collapse of all physical and material forces and to request of the enemy cessation of hostilities." **

Italy was the first of these countries ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to be knocked out of the war. Her own military leaders deposed Mussolini and changed sides in the struggle, but Italy has not been accepted as a full-fledged ally and will have to accept peace terms, not yet delivered, which win occasion her much grief. That is the penalty for following the lead of a gangster dictator and engaging in several ways of aggression. Nazi Germany was a much tougher enemy than Italy, but nearly a year ago leading German generals' tried unsuccessfully to wrest control from Hitler because they regarded the war as already lost. They paid with their lives for their bold move to save what they could of Germany from the wreckage of war. ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nazi die-hards insisted on fighting to the bitter end and bringing on Germany such devastation that she cannot recover for 50 years and will not be able to do so much as raise her head without the aid of the conquering forces of free civilization. As long as their power lasted, Nazi leaders carried on their fiendish atrocities, not sparing even the finest of Germany’s own citizens. They massacred and tortured and starved to death uncounted millions of people of many countries and shocked the moral sense of humanity that had difficulty believing that an enlightened age could produce such monsters of iniquity. The Nazis have completed the ruin of Germany and degraded the name of German to the lowest conceivable level. Nowhere are the Nazis snare thoroughly detested today ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">than in Germany because Germany has suffered more at their hands than any other nation. is that detestation has some of the hope of the future: But decent people will be very slow trusting Germany again. She will have to go through a long period of probation and Allied control. **

But long since her invading forces were checked and turned back. Now Japan is fighting for her very existence with the enemy almost at her gate.Her main armies are intact and larger than those at present arrayed against them. Indeed, the struggle on land has not ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">begun in earnest. Most of the fighting has been is the sea and is the air and on scattered islands. But ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> many of the most strategic islands of the South Pacific have been re-taken by Allied forces, and all of ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Japan's southern conquests have been isolated from the homeland. Japan cannot send war supplies from the homeland to her garrisons in the south nor can she obtain for ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Japan proper the natural resources of the south that are essential to the full operation of her war industries. **

The forces of free civilization must be concentrated with terrific power against Japan to hasten the downfall of that barbarous nation. Britain has promised to hurl her strength against that enemy. Canada, Australia and the other dominions have much at stake in the war against Japan. Canadian warships and some Canadian troops have moved into the Far East. Others will follow. ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How soon the Allies can bring Japan to the point of unconditional surrender is uncertain. At the moment the Japanese people probably would scornfully reject the terms that the United States and Britain would impose. The Japanese big interests will wish to be wiser than the Nazis and save what they can from utter ruin. They might be ready to yield Manchuria, a rich prize, and all of China, but they ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">would balk at giving up Formosa, Korea and all the islands of the sea, and refuse to consider the overthrow of the Mikado which China is demanding. Sometime this summer perhaps by -July 1, the Soviet Union may enter the war against Japan in which case we could hope for the struggle to be over by the end of 1945, which is a year or two earlier than many authorities are predicting. Given a reasonable excuse, Japan would quit before the Soviet Union attacked, but Washington is not likely to afford Japan the excuse. **

It signed by Colonel-General Jodl, the chief of staff of the German army. Germany has changed, her chief of staff several times this year. Lieut. General Walter Bedell Smith, chief of staff for Eisenhower, signed for the U.S. and General Ivan Susloparof ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">signed for the Soviet Union.

He expressed the hope that the hatred with which Germany was surrounded would give place to a spirit by reconciliation. He said: "We must make right the basis of our nation. In our nation justice shall be the supreme law and guiding principle. We must also recognize law as the basis of all relations between nations. We must recognize and respect it from inner conviction. Respect for concluded treaties will be sacred” ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Admiral Doenitz, in ordering the German submarine fleet to cease fighting and return to port to surrender, said that U-boat warfare could not be continued without the submarine bases that had been lost. He told German submarine sailors that they had fought like lions after a heroic fight that never had ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">been equalled. **

General "Bor," who led the underground Polish forces in Warsaw, reached American troops. Young Lascelles, nephew of King George; Lieut. John Winant, son of the U.S. ambassador to Britain, who were prisoners of war, were released. Ex-premiers Reynaud and Daladier and Generals Weygand and Gamelin were freed. So was Borolra, the French tennis star. Ex- Premier Blum's whereabouts are uncertain. Some dispatches suggest that Von Schuschnigg of Austria still is alive after all; if so, he cannotbe located. King Leopold of Belgium and his family have been reunited in Switzerland and are preparing to return to their country. Anton Mussert, the hated leader of the Dutch Nazi party, was caught at Utrecht.

So far their identification has not been revealed . ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The writer leans to the opinion that ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Hitler and Goebbels committed suicide. Hitler’s doctor says Der Fuehner’s pressure was not high and that it is unlikely that he had a stroke. No word has come about the fate of Himmler. Many Nazi war criminals will try to drop out of sight and escape punishment after arranging for the publication of stories announcing their own deaths. **

Rundstedt's counter-attack came on Dec. 16 and gave the Allied world an anxious Christmas. The writer then declared his belief that the enemy's attack was made because of desperation and that it would shorten rather than prolong the war. When the Allies reached the Rhine it was rather generally supposed that a long pause would take place in front of that formidable barrier. The War Reviewed fancied that the Allies would smash their way across the Rhine with comparative ease, and, scarcely pausing to consolidate their bridgeheads, move almost at will between the Rhine and Berlin. That seemingly wild optimism appears to have justified itself. ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On April 3, when the Rhine had been left well behind, Ross Munro of the Canadian Press said that war correspondents on the western front had been asked to make guesses as to when the war in Europe would be declared over. The guess ranged all the way from April 25 to Aug. 1. Ned Nordness of the Associated Press said June 6. Ralph Allen of the Toronto Globe mentioned June ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">17. L. S. B. Shapiro of the North American Newspaper Alliance favored April 25. Allan Kent of the Toronto Telegram suggested June 1. Matt. Halton said May 1. Ross Munro, himself, made a good guess with May 8. At the time this column intimated that the war might wind up between May 1 and May 12. ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Celebrating a Great Deliverance ** <span style="display: block; height: 1px; left: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; position: absolute; top: 2904px; width: 1px;">**<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As we look hater anti contemplate the trials and perils through which we have come, every heart should be grateful for the sacrifices of the men of the three armed services and be filled with reverence for the memories of those who died for the cause. Jubilation is appropriate and well may find noisy and colorful expression. But we should not be unmindful of the feelings of those whose loved ones will not return. Tonight the churches should be filled with a devout multitude praising the Almighty for a great deliverance. The Archbishop of Canterbury's victory message in the words of a paraphrased psalm was: "Walk about London and go round about her And tell the towers thereof. Mark well her bulwarks, set up her houses; That ye may tell them that come after. For this God is our God forever and ever; He shall be our guide unto death and beyond."\ “ **
