Topic 159: The twentieth century saw great chnage. In your opinion, what is one change that should be remembered about the twentieth century? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.
When it comes to twentieth century, the first eye-catching thing brought to a mind is the World War Two. During the second international war, people unbelievably saw too many cruelties against human and humanity: carnage, uncontrolled violence, devastation of almost all infrastructures of Europe and finally, and unfortunately, the nightmare of atomic bomb. Although this era of human being's histroty can be marked as craziness of mankind, there was a glimmer of hope in gloomy sky, hope for progress, that is, nuclear energy and booming economy after the war.
How cruel some people were, better to say some goverments, marvels me. In 1960s, people all around the world were shocked by some violent and immoral actions made during the war. Some truly named it "bloodbath." More than 20 millions of people were killed within the period of war as well as many cities which were destroyed completely. Many innocent childern left orphan by the grapes of the wrath of war along with millions of breaved women felt grief sorrow suffering from the death of their beloved children, husbands or sibilings.
Today there are several industrialized countries with their electricity supplies - to great extent - based on nuclear power.
With the first attempts made by Nazi Germany to reach nuclear weapons, a voracious competition started, specially among the Allied countries. Some think without the use of Little Boy, the first atomic bomb having made at least 100,000 Japanese disappeard, let me take leave to doubt, having put an end to the war was highly unlikely. Besides its fatal capacities, you must look back to find the first spark of using nuclear energy in its first bed, I mean that war. The war world two had something to add up to our world, nuclear energy.
Eventhough many considere that war a catasrophe, there are some economists who still think the war is God's gift. Whether you believe or not, I want to say the same. You can measure a war as an incentive for some growth, the United States itself can match to this idea very well. During the war all factories, industries and the entire economy were doing the best wholeheartedly. In my opinion, the war made the U.S. a superpower and guaranteed its economy and its dominance over the international affairs.
Although the world war two was the bloodiest war of all history of mankind and resulted in many adversities, it had, like any other human phenomenon, its own benefits. It teaches us we should respect human and humanity much more than we used to. Whether we want or not, it made our history and changed our destiny forever and is still a demanding subject of many studies.
