World War II was a global conflict larger than any scale mankind has seen before.
Twelve major countries all over the world were fighting for various reasons. Some were fighting for
power, others for safety and democracy. This was conflict beyond larger anything people have seen
before. . It caused a new scale of connection between the world. It is a scale that is still maintained
today. This conflict oversaw one of the greatest developments in technology and combat in the entire
world. Items, such as aircraft carriers were created and used in this period of time. This was very
significant because these carriers are still in use, today. This war pioneered new ways of combat. It
brought to the forefront air combat. Air combat, unheard of in most places, was brought to a global
scale because of this war. Of course, to achieve this zenith, there had to be losses, and there were.
Over 80 million people died during this time. This was 3% of the world population in the 1940’s.
These are just few of the many advantages and disadvantages of the war.
