The World War 2 Effects on peoples lives and the state

The World War 2 Impacts

Do you really think that World War II or particularly any war have made a difference in

our lifes as political, economic, or socially? The treaty of Versailles, the rise of Hitler to power,

and the Annexation of Austria were some main causes of what initiated this war in which created

impact within the people and the state. The cold war, the great depression, and the changing roles

for women were impacts that the war caused more conflicts in their lives. This impacts affected

many peoples lives in which they got affected during the world war II from adults to young age

people were it created stress, work even harder or even sacrificing themselves into going to risk

their lives by participating in the war. World War II globalization does not shapes peoples lives

by impacts they have towards whats being issued during that time like the tensions between

what cause the war.

There were many causes of why world war 2 started and It affected people a lot in which

it does not make any change. The first tension was A treaty that forced Germany in accepting the

blame for World War 1 which was called, The treaty of Versailles, Germany had to print

money and this lead to high rates in Germany that caused the Great Depression. Someone that

controlled others by his actions in which it affected the countries and the people was known as

Hitler. He was appointed as chancellor of Germany, also as president and because of some of his

actions such as Germany invaded Poland started the World War II. The allies permitted an action

of Germany that was forbidden by the treaty of versailles; It was called, The Annexation of

Austria. The Annexation of Austria allowed Germany to take lands without authorization to

pacify Hitler. This actions were the main causes of World War II initiation in which it led to the

impacts it caused from the war.

There was three main impacts of World War II that had an effect in political, economic,

and social industries. The cold war was a political impact which was that the Soviet Union and

USA did not trust each other during the war, but became allies to defeat Germany in the cold

war. The great depression is an example as an economic impact of World War II because the

taxes increased; there was unemployment that was about twenty five percent, and women

worked in jobs of men. The changing roles for women was a social impact because there was

many impacts on women such as women substitute for men on the Homefront and women

attended at traditional male occupations to work in industries helping out, since men were at war.

The most important impacts during World War II in the U.S was the lost of family members

throughout the tensions caused by the war.

The first impact on peoples lives was that women occupied in work of men because the

Nazis tried to force three million women aged younged to older so, women left their work and

occupied the men of work to keep the things going while the men were fighting in war. The

second impact was that men enlisted to fight in the war including young ones; At first, many

young men went to get enlisted, but they they wouldnt get accepted if they told them their real

age, so they lied. The impacts was that young men lied their age to be able to fight in war

knowing they were risking themselves. Another impact was that children did not have a massive

impact as adults, but they were affected by stress. Children were affected by stress from knowing

one of their family members that were fighting in war in which they knew many lives were lost.

The stress was due to the preoccupation from losing one of their family members since they were

at risk from death in war and the children had to work even harder than today during the war.

Many peoples lives got affected by World War II from adults to a young ages in which the

younger one carried stress, everybody had to help out during the war, and many had to risk their

lives while fighting at war.

Counter Argument

Any kind of war does changes people's lives or makes a difference for the good of people

because it does creates a change. It is worth fighting for what you dont agree on and fight for

what is right.There were many causes of why world war 2 started and It affected people a lot in

which it does not make any change.There are many impacts towards the war, but one of them

was risking their lives to fight against each other and hurting people or create suffrage for

people. The war ends up hurting people and their lives. Although it might bring change

something for the good it is not worth killing humans for their own disagreement when it just

brings more sufferage and impacts to people in their daily lives.The war is not good or worth

fighting for although it might have a good reason for to do it which then leads to more problems

such as the events that lead to this war which turns people against each other, it creates impacts

political, economic and socially. It also creates enemies and brings suffrage for people as deaths

or disorder effects, continuous wars which makes it worst and unworthy for fighting for this

effects of it.

Conclusion

World War II or any kind of war does not make a difference within peoples lives toward

what can war change if it were to be fought from the disagreement that started it. There were
Running Head: THE WORLD WAR 2 EFFECTS ON PEOPLE'S LIVES AND THE STATE 6

three main tensions that caused the war which lead to the impact of it. Instead of people coming

together and fight together from what started this problem from people who dont agree, they

fight against each other which does not help and creates a bigger problem.There was three

examples of the impacts that the war created which caused conflicts within the people. Wars

have impacts such as hurting each other and at the end having many deaths, which also does not

help nor shapes peoples lives. Then, the World War II impacts affected the people in which it

just created a bigger conflict within each other. War created deaths, any disorder effects on

people who fought in war, disagreements and more wars.
