Since I’ve studied about World War ll, I’ve realized that war is good in some ways and bad in other. War is bad because a lot of people die, both soldiers & civilians. War destroys economies and demolishes cities. War uses up money that can be used for something better. But war does advance technology. In World War ll many inventions were made including microwaves, jeeps, nuclear power, synthetic rubber, nylon, & others.

I also learned a lot about other countries’ history, especially about Hitler and the rise of the Nazi Party. Hitler was also a megalomaniac who wanted to control the world and rid it of Jews and other races. It was a good thing he didn’t succeed. More people would have died. Many people live in freedom because he wasn’t successful.

I have also learned a lot about neuclear physics and how the atomic bomb was developed. I think Truman made the correct decision to drop the A-bomb on japan. I feel that it was right because far more people would have died in an invasion the bombs put an end to the war.
