WWII Features:

1.- Causes of the Second World War.- The causes are still obscure, but the revenge and oppression that Germany had after the First World War, the signature of the Treaty of Versailles, which ended the armed conflict, reduced German territory and greatly undermined its economy.

Adolf Hitler, formed a political party that unified and strengthened Germany, uniting all its citizens, a circumstance that positioned him within the German country, winning the sympathy of the Aryan people German.

Something believed to have influenced discrimination and hatred of Jews was the control that bankers and merchants had over money and merchandise within Germany and large parts of the world, prompting Hitler to formulate discriminatory laws that classified Jews as second-class people, which began with their persecution excessive.

The war began directly, when Germany demanded passage and some privileges to Poland, which according to German criteria corresponded to him and by denying them Poland gave Germany the pretext to invade, initially with the support of the USSR, and carrying out what they called "Operation Foll Weiss", which they carried out on September 1, 1939.

The invasion of Poland, had effects precisely because of the initial support of the USSR and the non-intervention of France and the United Kingdom, which were allies of Poland, thus causing the annihilation of 20% of the population of Poland.

2.- Formation of the Allies.- The allies were formed at different times and for different reasons, because although the Soviet Union supported Germany initially, Being attacked by Germany, produced a change of side, which directly marked the sense of the war when losing a military power and economical.

The allies were formed primarily by France and the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom entered the war on its colonies, such as Australia and Canada. Later it was The Soviet Union, (who changed sides) that formed a great military fort and by Lastly, the United States, which due to its late arrival found itself in better shape and position in relation to the the rest.

Later, other nations joined, because of various attacks (which today are questioned as pressure of a member of the allies to obtain troops), and that they were forced to give up resources and troops for the conflict global.

In total, there are 26 nations recognized as part of the Allied bloc, which was joined by Italy, who was the main part of the axis.

3.- Shaft formation.- The axis was formed mainly by three nations, Germany, Japan, and Italy, who had few benefits in the Treaty of Versailles that ended the First World War.

4.- Faces.- The world war was established in three phases:

• First phase.- Fight in Europe, where Germany had many conquests almost infallibly, and the axis had many victories. After this attack, an attempt was made to sign a peace treaty by Germany, but the United Kingdom and France refused, which prolonged the conflict. In this period, Germany defeats the Netherlands and France, where General Peten finds it necessary to sign the admiration. Although Germany was very well prepared, by attacking the Soviet Union she had a sure victory, but she was never able to sustain the supplies which resulted in the defeat of Germany by the USSR.

• Second stage.- It occurs when Germany attacks the USSR, and although it was previously and widely planned by Hitler's desire to attack communism, it was presented here a defeat of the URRS and an unforeseen circumstance attitude gave a total turnaround in the war, which led the URRS to unite with the allies. In this phase there was already surrender of Germany and Italy, which left Tunes in the hands of the Allies.

• Third phase.- In this phase, the recovery by the allies of France, the invasion and landing on the Italian coasts that They ended with the surrender and arrest of Mussolini, and in this phase, after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and with the arrival of President Harry S. Truman decided to drop two atomic bombs on Japan, the United States succeeding in invading Japan and taking its islands.

5.- Concentration and extermination camps.- Although the case of the Jews and the treatment they were given has become famous, it must be clarified that they were also tortured and in large numbers Blacks and Gypsies, who along with the homosexual minority were annihilated in concentration camps, as part of the cleaning policy ethnic.

6.- Espionage.- The Second World War was characterized by the fact that it was the precedent of the Cold War, and produced great espionage, which resulted in the obtaining of the atomic bomb by the United States, which left it in a good position to become hegemonic in the world as a military power.

7.- Duration.- The world war lasted six years, from 1939 to 1945, in which Adolf Hitler committed suicide by having the Russian troops on the outskirts of Berlin.

8.- Casualties and deaths.- The Second World War had an approximate number of casualties of 25 million, of which it is estimated that there were five million of Jews killed in the so-called holocaust and twenty million deaths, mostly civilians and military personnel from all sides.

9.- Economic aspect.- The world economy was greatly diminished, leaving the United States as a non-invaded country in an excellent position, becoming the rebuilder of the fallen countries, and who would receive the payment for the loans forced to the nations in reconstruction. This circumstance gave him a position of excellence that led him to position himself and call himself the world leader, the most powerful and most developed nation in the world. The United States learned the benefit of the war economy.

10.- Technology.- Technology was greatly affected by the race against time that engineers had to develop weapons and machinery; In this sense, many of the war inventions were restructured for the benefit of humanity.

11.- Medicine.- As ironic as it may seem, medicine advanced a lot in this tragic period, as many inventions and developments were found, especially in relation to surgery and psychology, which still serve today, for the benefit of future generations.

12.- Consequences.- The consequences can be perceived from a personal point of view, which depending on the side in which one has found would have different meanings, because although the signatories of the Treaty of Versailles knew the risks of said treaty, George Clemenceau predicted the effects that could have in the long term due to the pressure in Germany and the circumstances in which the countries that were later named as the "axis".

The main consequences were the apparent liberation of many countries, but the predominance of military bases Americans, who were bet with the intention of not allowing a repetition by the armies defeated. The latter has in part a double edge, since it is apparently insane in geopolitical terms that these bases and their respective control exist.

As a form of control, NATO (North Atlantic Organization) was created, which acts as a partial police in matters international countries, and which the United States has used to gain access to that area of ​​the planet, which is far from its territory.
