		This was a profound social upheaval which made it possible to put an end to certain tragic consequences of the world war, the end of which, for many European nations, had not in fact meant the beginning of a full enjoyment of peace and democracy as might have been expected on May 9, 1945.
		In every society war leads to a totalitarian use of the means of communication and propaganda which fails to inculcate respect for others and esteem for dialogue, but rather encourages suspicion and a desire for reprisals.
		The world can bear witness that, after the enormous tragedy of the war, something new was born in the hearts of members of the different religious denominations: They feel more responsible for peace on earth, and they have begun to cooperate with one another.

		This year marks the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, and while most of the world celebrates, China lingers on issues that, in their eyes, remain unresolved.
		During World War II, what China calls the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese Imperial Army committed terrible atrocities against the people of China, and other Asian countries their forces occupied, on a moral scale, if not a numerical scale, similar to their counterparts in the Nazi regime.
		Japan has not issued a formal apology for the crimes committed during World War II, primarily because the new regime wishes to distance itself from the Imperial Army as far as is possible, and because the events in question occurred over 60 years ago.

		The Origins of the First World War by James Joll was a concise but informative study of the major causes of the catastrophe that engulfed Europe and much of the world from 1914-1918.
		The most important consequence of imperialism to the outbreak of World War I was that Russia was forced to turn west to the Balkans as an avenue for expansion after they were defeated by Japan in 1904-1905.
		His analysis examines multiple factors influencing the war, and is admirably neutral, not displaying taint or bias (particularly that of Fischer), and provides one of the most excellent and succinct general analyses of the failure of the Second International that I have yet come across.
