World War II

	World War II - ninemsn Encarta
		World War II, global military conflict that, in terms of lives lost and material destruction, was the most devastating war in human history.
		More than any previous war, World War II involved the commitment of nations' entire human and economic resources, the blurring of the distinction between combatant and non-combatant, and the expansion of the battlefield to include all of the enemy's territory.
		In the main, however, the war was fought with the same or improved weapons of the types used in World War I. The greatest advances were in aircraft and tanks.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		At the end of World War I the victorious nations formed the League of Nations for the purpose of airing international disputes, and of mobilizing its members for a collective effort to keep the peace in the event of aggression by any nation against another or of a breach of the peace treaties.
		The bitter struggles and the enormous casualties suffered by Great Britain and France in World War I had engendered in their military leaders a defensive attitude with a reliance on such permanent fortifications as the Maginot Line and on blockade as means of subduing a resurgent Germany.
		As the war progressed, the United States departed from its policy of strict neutrality and rendered greater and greater aid short of war to the beleaguered Allies.

	World War II Ends
		The powers of the world were gradually moving towards a war in the Pacific and my opinion, a major mistake of the Japanese aggressors in the Pacific Theatre of Operations was their inability to grasp the immense nature of the Pacific Ocean, one-third of planet Earth.
		Numerous authors and individuals have their own interpretations of World War II: those who were active in combat have different views than those who did not go overseas; historians born long after the fact have a different view from those who participated in the war.
		Political systems varied around the world and the environment that World War II battles were fought in were different (Pacific islands were certainly different from European landscapes), and technology came into play in all parts of the world.
