It was the most widespread war in history, with more than 100 million military personnel mobilised. In a state of "total war," the major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by significant action against civilians, including the Holocaust , it was the deadliest conflict in history.
The war is generally accepted to have begun on 1 September 1939, with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and most of the countries of the British Empire and Commonwealth. China and Japan were already at war by this date, whereas other countries that were not initially involved joined the war later in response to events such as the German invasion of the Soviet Union and the Japanese attacks on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and on British overseas colonies, which triggered declarations of war on Japan by the United States, the British Commonwealth.
The war ended with the total victory of the Allies over Germany and Japan in 1945. World War II left the political alignment and social structure of the world significantly changed.
A quick personal thanks to those allies (excluding the french - complete wankers) who stood by britain while she faced the full conflict , for if britain had given up, germany (and the axis) would have likely won the war.

Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.
-Winston Churchill during world war 2
America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War (world war 1). If you hadn't entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the Spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany. If America had stayed out of the war, all these 'isms' wouldn't today be sweeping the continent of Europe and breaking down parliamentary government — and if England had made peace early in 1917, it would have saved over one million British, French, American, and other lives.

The world as it is now with a lot of technology like the space shuttle, computers, cars, planes, tv's, ect. but at the same time there is so much shit in the world like millions of people starving to death every year, people in the third world not being able to get proper medical care, wars and genocides ect. it seems that if people can invent all that technology they can sove those other problems but they don't whether that is by not trying or not being able.
It's such a techno shit world.

world war 3 will happen because of the evergrowing situation in the middle east
israel at this moment in time ( late july 2006) is attacking lebanon.
the USA, of course have become involved and wanted israel to attack lebanon to spark this war.
they want to get iran and syria involved as you will probably constantly hear them mentioning them in this conflict.
when iran and syria get involved,russia and china will back them. korea will also get involved.nuclear attacks will happen and millions,maybe even a billion will die.
the USA is the big bully in all of this. they sit back and watch as irael do whatever they like. they have killed hudnreds in lebanon.
has the USA said anything?
NO
they even rejected a cease fire as they say its a false promise
but we all know, that the usa could stop israel attacking lebanon and perhaps stop this war from escalating if they told israel to stop killing sulliviliians
but as we all know the usa goverment want to attack iran for the oil
coz really they are fat hungry greedy bastards,with the stench of iraqi's blood on thier hands
i beg all american citizens to get bush out of power!

The banks that have loaned such a large amount of money to the nations of the world that they are deemed to own them. Most of these loans come from the United States of America, or, better stated, the Federal Reserve. See also: Federal Reserve Banks.
