The First World War (WWI) was fought from 1914 to 1918 and the Second World War (WWII) was fought from 1939 to 1945. They were the largest military conflicts in human history. Both wars involved military alliances between different groups of countries.
What I didn't realize for decades, was what happened after the World War II ended and how a new human tragedy that lasted for 28 exhausting years started.
In most films and documentaries about Hitler, America is praised for ending World War II. What these films don't show though is the mess with the Berlin Wall and how it affected Germany.
What I'm trying to say is, today we are witnessing several wars in different conflict zones. They are horrible and the reason why the refugee crisis is continuing and getting worse and worse. But what we don't see is the aftermath of these individual human tragedies and their legacy.
I wish I had the power to put an end to this misery!
