The Heart Of World War II
World War II continues to capture the imagination like no other conflict in history. A large part of this may well be because it is the most recent traditional war - as popularly imagined. While any number of large-scale conflicts have arisen since then, none have been "traditional" as World War II has been. Most wars are between generally unequal powers. After all, no one bothers fighting unless they think they can win - or are forced to.
However, in World War II, though it started out as the usual big-power-attacks-small-power conflict, big powers - the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union - soon joined in and the conflict expanded worldwide almost overnight. Thus World War II was the kind of war we all know and even "love" - a "set-piece" conflict with a real good versus evil theme.
For most wars are over trifling matters; a hill here, a river there. World War II was literally a cultural war, where not only territory was at stake but the very nature of civilization itself, the form it would take for the next several decades or, even, as envisioned by Adolf Hitler, centuries. WWII's case involved the most amount of nations which had 2 military operating alliances, the Allies and the Axis, which began at the beginning of September 1939 with an unseen invasion by Poland.
This was the most widespread battle throughout history, with over 100 million personnel mobilized. It was the only war which contributed global saturation by use of deadly nuclear weapons that have also changed the face of this earth. Not to mention the brutal actions against civilians known as the Holocaust. It has the highest number of fatalities of over 50-75 million casualties. This battle was mostly for power rather than the unconditional relief of another. The United Nations was then instructed and practically developed for the sake of international cooperation to prevent another war. But as the superpowers emerged as rivals, cooperation soon transformed into "The Cold War", which was later resumed by U.S.A. and the USSR for the next 46 years.
It was a war to determine the way of life that should exist in Europe, and by extension as the world's center of geopolitical gravity at the time, the whole planet. Another factor accounting for the enduring appeal of World War II is the personalities of its leading antagonists. Although Japan(Hirohito) and China(Chiang Kai-Shek) were already at war since the beginning of 1937, the support which lost the naval battle against the US, Franklin D. Roosevelt, reluctantly made the invasion on Home Islands imminent and had also lost their chance to expand towards East Asia.
Adolf lost as well just about the same time the Japanese naval battle was lost, except Berlin was to encounter the final attack by Joseph Stalin and the Soviets. The Soviets then took over Berlin which consequently sent an unconditional surrender letter by the SS Germans in May 1945, which was also the conclusion of the life-long battle of World War II. As soon as this was settled, the aforementioned superpowers were at their own war with weapons ready to fire at one another. The European colonies recovered economically as well as the decolonization of Asia and Africa. The battles were bloody and fatal, the weapons showed no mercy, but the outcome was the greatest feeling to have ever attained by the allies, victory lead towards a new beginning.
There was Winston Churchill, an imperialist leading the charge against Hitler in the name of "freedom;" there was Roosevelt, a blue-blood with especially democratic beliefs allied with the imperialist Churchill and a totalitarian dictator no better than Hitler, Josef Stalin of the Soviet Union, whose own anti-Semitic views and actions were simply overlooked. Then there was the gangster-king Chiang Kai-Shek in China and his equally brutal nemesis Mao Tse Tung, battling for control of one-fifth of humanity against the also-brutal cabal of military nationalists in Japan.

Is third world war (www) on or on cards?
Is third world war (www) on or on cards?
By Prof Ghulam Mohyuddin Wani
WORLD WAR II AFTERMATH After the World War II, which was fought between 1939-1945,every other day we see on discovery channel how it happened and killed millions in the globe. This was a war of wits and fabricated communications and propaganda. How would be the third world war, under the duress of a unipolar world order? The main challenger USSR all most disintegrated into pieces and new economy crisis surrounding the economic partners of the USA, Japan and Germany. Indian great divide
Many successes to the credit of West and USA in bifurcating India in 1947 , keeping the two parts burning in anger since then, over Kashmir. The major part of the GDP of both shipped to USA and west as remuneration for the arms and the debt continues to gain interest for the traders of the west World order after WW II Ironically since 1945 we have seen many upheavals and destruction in the world under the cold war and the war on terror and what not. All wars took their birth under the hands of those who carry the white flags and are the supporters of human rights. They are unfortunately the chief negotiators of peace be it UNO or otherwise back track diplomacy. Here is a small factual directory of happening , killing people like blades of grass .
World war III has begun Soviet war in Afganistan and its defeat A nuclear power captures Afghanistan and another nuclear power supports Afghans and it is death and destruction for a decade .The Afghans wins back their country. The supporter is successful in breaking a powerful nuclear opponent. Invades now the Afghanistan with the approval of UNO.A 46 nation army enters the Afghanistan and kills millions of civilians and while losing the war attacks the Pakistan and is at present crushing it like an furious Spanish bull .None has shown the bull the red mask. He is continuing massacre of Muslims without declaration of war. Hindu-Christian war on Muslims All Christian , Hindus and name sake liberal Muslims have joined a war against Islam .This world war is spread from India where mosques were demolished, millions killed in cold blood .be it Gujarat or Kashmir to Africa and Guatemala . Now a Hindu terror group is killing Muslims in Ajmer, maca masjed and samjota express has the support of some army officers and a big political Party. These innocent killings of Muslims are not named like 11/26 or 9/11 and mourned .Hundreds of muslim women raped and mosques destroyed is democracy but a Buddhist monument destroy by illiterate and liberal or uneducated afghans makes a case to destroy the muslim world.
Women in www iii
The women clawed with respect and veiled like nuns are barbaric acts, but rape of nuns and small kids in church is pardoned justified and not attacked. The world media does not remember the church sex scandals but remembers the beat of a wife by a Muslim for adultery. The thousands of women burnt in India for dowry and millions of women in west rebuked, used for sex is democracy. Illicit geology No one knows who is the father and father breeding daughters and sons breeding mothers is common game now in west who have no regard or record of marriage or child paternity. All these devilry acts are liberalism.Poly gamy is a crime but poly angry is allowed. Free sex is on windows and doors of western civilized but respect and honour to women as mother, sister or wife in Islam is misinterpreted.
Media or mafia
The whole media lies and projects wrongly and are propaganda machine of the devil. Truth is culled and lies are propagated. This absurdity is culture and respecting women and not allowing them to be molested or used as sex toys is Talabaism.The Iraq invasion and nuclear threat was a hoax and the criminal responsible for the death of millions are dancing and dining freely. The one who is telling truth of these immoral acts is most wanted. Who created him, they, is he alive no one knows yet the repression of Muslims in the world continues. Be it Sudan,Tunesia,Iran,Iraq,Phelestein,Egypt,Somalia,Indonesia ,Pakistan or eleswher.The war sanctioned by UNO under the signatures of false world order and unlawful UNO in Iraq or Afghanistan where more than 47 nations armies fight innocent ,unarmed peaceful demonstrators is infect a world war III in progress. Who will win it is on cards.
Some past www threats
During the Suez Crisis of 1956, Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin sent a note to British Prime Minister Anthony Eden warning that "if this war is not stopped it carries the danger of turning into a third world war
The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962
Robert McNamara claimed that if it were not for Vasili Arkhipov, who prevented a nuclear launch on the B-59 Soviet submarine during the heat of the crisis, World War III would have broken out, saying at the Cuban Missile Crisis Havana conference, "A guy called Vasili Arkhipov saved the world." Soviet ballistic missile false alarm (1983) On 26 September 1983, a Soviet early warning Chief Stanislav Petrov falsely detected five inbound intercontinental ballistic missiles. Petrov correctly assessed the situation as a false alarm. Petrov's action likely averted a nuclear conflict, as the Soviet policy at that time was immediate nuclear response upon discovering inbound ballistic missiles. According to a report by Geoffrey Forden, the most likely culprit for the false alarm was the Cosmos-1382 satellite belonging to the Oko early warning system. Archer Able Archer 83 (1983) During Able Archer 83, a ten-day NATO command post exercise starting on November 2, 1983, the Soviets readied their nuclear forces and placed air units in East Germany and Poland on alert. Some historians believe this exercise was a close call to a start to World War III.[5] Pristina International Airport—NATO and Russian standoff (1999) On 12–26 June 1999, Russian and NATO forces had a standoff over the Pristina Airport in Kosovo. NATO forces were tasked with seizing the airport; however the Russians, of which there were approximately 200, overpowered the NATO task force and thus gained control of the airfield. In response, American NATO commander Wesley Clark demanded that British General Sir Mike Jackson storm the airport with paratroopers, an order that is still debated. Jackson refused, reportedly replying, "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you". Former British soldier turned singer-songwriter James Blunt revealed in 2010 he refused an order from General Clark to seize the airport from Russians, a decision which Blunt, believed could have triggered World War III Conflict. These include the Balkan Wars from 1912 to 1913 and the Polish–Soviet War from 1919 to 1921, the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and later China, the Spanish Civil War, the Italian invasions of Ethiopia and Albania, the 1938 German annexation of Austria (Anschluss), and the subsequent occupation of Czechoslovakia. Therefore, the specific event where a future World War III begins may only be determined retroactively. Some analysts and historians[10] have suggested the Cold War can be identified as World War III because it was fought on a global scale by proxy combatants of the United States and later NATO, and the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries.[11] In a 2006 interview, U.S. President George W. Bush likened the ongoing War on Terrorism as being like "World War III" A little more than a month after the September 11 attacks, Eliot Cohen, the director of strategic studies at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, declared in the Wall Street Journal that the struggle against terrorism was more than a law-enforcement operation, and would require military conflict beyond the invasion of Afghanistan. Cohen, like Marenches, considered World War III to be history. "A less palatable but more accurate name is World War IV," he wrote. "The Cold War was World War III, which reminds us that not all global conflicts entail the movement of multi-million-man armies, or conventional front lines on a map." Nuclear war is different than conventional warfare. Nuclear war brings devastation quickly and extensively than one can imagine .One set in it may have chain reactions all over earth and earth may perish like doomsday .The radiation releases and atmospheric pollution may give rise to extensive winters or summers beyond imagination. The first, and to date only, nuclear war was World War II: near the end of the war, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.[5] [6] at the time of those bombings, the United States was the only country to possess atomic weapons. After World War II, nuclear weapons were also developed by the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, and the People's Republic of China, which contributed to the state of conflict and tension that became known as the Cold War. In the 1970s, India and 1990s, Pakistan, countries openly hostile to each other, developed nuclear weapons. Israel, North Korea, and South Africa are also believed to have developed nuclear weapons, although South Africa subsequently abandoned them.
