World war II the aftermath

World War II produced disastrous consequences that were unparalleled in the history of mankind. The war caused unprecedented destruction of life and property. There was a complete destruction of fields and factories, mills and workshops and the houses of the civilians. Corers of people died and many more were permanently disabled. In the opinion of Chester Bowles, World War II "killed twenty-five million people, permanently disabled twice that number and devastated much of Germany, Italy, Poland and the Balkans, Russia, China and Japan."

 The three great Axis Powers namely Italy, Germany and Japan were leveled to dust. (i) Germany, the chief architect of the war was utterly humiliated and punished. At the Potsdam Conference, Germany was divided into four zones. Each zone was placed under a major allied victor. .

 (ii) The Italian empire disappeared from the map of the world. The spoils of war, in terms of territory and reparation, were shared and enjoyed by the major Allied victors.
(iii) After the war, Japan was placed under the control of the Far Eastern Commission with General Mac Arthur as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces. However, only in 1951, did Japan regain its lost sovereignty, under the San Francisco Peace Treaty
