World War 2

World War 2

War is one of the most tragic things in our world today. It is even sadder
that usually it comes around at least once in our lifetime. In the 20th century
alone we have already had two huge wars. These wars were call the World Wars
simply because they involved most of the big countries of the world. Many
people have died in these wars.. especially the second World War. That is my
focus for this essay.

The leader of Germany at the time of WW2 and the person who most think

hate for Jews. He would send them off in cattle cars to places called
concentration camps were they would be slaughtered by the thousands.

World War 2 was huge and involved a lot of countries. There were thousands
of battlefronts and warsites. The two main battlefronts were the battle front
between Britain and Germany and the battlefront between the Japanese and the
