  World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many consider World War II to be the only true world war due to the overwhelming number of nations involved and the extraordinary number of theatres—from Europe and the Soviet Union to North Africa, China, South East Asia and the Pacific.
Post–World War II Europe was partitioned into Western and Soviet spheres of influence, the former undergoing economic reconstruction under the Marshall Plan and the latter becoming satellite states of the Soviet Union.
The causes of World War II are naturally a debated subject, but a common view, particularly among the allies in the earlt post-war years, tie them to the expansionism of Germany and Japan: Germany had lost wealth, power and status following the first world war and the expansion was to make Germany great again.

 EFF: Patriot ACT II Analysis
USAPA II would allow law enforcement to obtain your credit reports upon a simple certification that they will use the information only "in connection with their duties to enforce federal law."

USAPA II allows an individual with no affiliation with a foreign government or a terrorist organization to be deemed a "foreign power" for purposes of FISA surveillance of that person and those associated with him or her.
USAPA II also has some extremely troubling provisions that increase the ability for the US to strip an American of his or her citizenship and prosecute individuals based upon financial activities, among others.
