What were the long term effects of the Battle of Thermopylae?
It was a ploy to force a sea battle in the adjacent strait. The Greeks lost the sea battle, and most of the Greek land forces withdrew. As a failed military venture, it had no long term effects whatsoever other than to provide a basis for modern romantic tales of the last stand of the 300 Spartans.
Were there any prisoner of war camps in the maritime region of Canada during World War 2?
NO. The Canadian Government had two types of POW camps during WW2. The first type used existing buildings like Fort Henry in Kingston, Ontario, and other government places like schools and military barracks. The second type of camp was built by the prisoners, far away in the bush in Northern Ontario, and Quebec, along the railway line. Most were at least 200 miles from any town, and the only was in or out was by train. Nobody tried to eacape, as there was no place to go. The camps were all located far from the ocean, so any escapees could not be picked up by German U boats. Of the tw0 hundred thousand German and Italian POWS, only ONE ever escaped. He jumped off a moving train near Kingston, at night, and he walked and swam across the St Lawrence river, made his way across the USA, which was still a neutral country at that time, and made his way to the German Embassy in Mexico City. He was sent back to Germany, as a big hero, but when he went back to flying as a Lufftwaffe pilot, he was shot down and killed by a RCAF spitfire, three weeks later. The camps were guarded by the Canadian Veterans Guard, made up of WW1 Canadian soldiers, who were too old for active service in WW2, but could be trusted to keep the POWS in line in the camps. After the war many of the German POWS came back to Canada as Immigrants because they remembered how well they had been treated here in Canada. They became some of our best "New Canadians".
What were some effects the Korean war on the US?
The Korean war had a very profound impact on the US. It cost a little over two billion dollars in supplies for the troops and it cost 54,291 in American lives. General Douglas MacArthur was a household name at the peak of the Korean war because of his services in WWII but when he was removed from the US army by Truman for attempting to wage all out war on North Korea and the Soviet Union, many people in the US and even the UK were outraged.
