Critical Perspectives On World War II

The book I picked to write my essay about is called Critical Perspectives on World War II. The reason I chose this book is I love history, you can learn a lot from history. History isn't a common favorite class. I love reading about the United States becoming one.
“The 100 years of the 20th century is remembered for the best and the worst humanity mankind can produce.” Couple things it will be remembered for art, science, and technology. The world has grown so much from technology. Everyday life is filled with everyone being on their phone 24/7.
As a nation we have forgotten the scars of war. During the World War II, 50 million people died as result of the war. “That is as if everyone in Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Arizona,Oregon,Colorado,

and Indiana.World War II is called by some the last good war.
Later on in the book it talked about Adolf Hitler. How he crushed the German labour movement, and how property owning classes were willing to forgive him for almost everything. Hitler stated” I offer you struggle,danger and death,”and after that an entire nation flings itself at him.
World War II saw the world fight to keep out from under Nazi boot heel of Germany. The war in Europe began in September 1939, when Germany, under Chancellor Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland. Britain and France responded by declaring war on Germany but took little action over the following months.
The war in the Pacific began on December 7,1941 when warplanes from Japan launched a surprise attack on the U.S Navy base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. After the Pearl Harbor attack, Japan began a massive campaign of expansion throughout the Southeast Asia-Pacific region. By this time, Japan had already been at war with China for several years and had seized the Chinese territory of Manchuria.
Piece’s in this volume come from acclaimed writers such as George Orwell, Emie Pyle, Nora Waln. Speeches and the diaries of the warsaw Ghetto archivist Emanuel Ringelblum are also included.
In conclusion the book I read was an amazing book. I learned a lot about World War II, that I didn’t know before. This has taught me more about Adolf Hitler. And, all the terrible things he has done. Hope you enjoyed my essay like I enjoyed the book.
