First and formost was the invention of Nuclear Bombs. This 1 bomb came about to end it. Now... The united states alone has enough to end all life on earth. But 80,000 people alone died in Hiroshima in 1 bomb attack. Also not to mention the use of napalm on Japanese cities. Also the bombing campaigns didn't target JUST military it also killed civilians. Also have to look at the v1 and v2 rockets. The precursors to ICBM missiles and the "Killing Chambers" of the concentration camps. This war was killing on a very large scale. 50 million people so it's said ... I believe it to be more.
Paranoia and imperialist ambition backed by powerful technology and unchecked for too long. Stalin killed tens of millions of his own Russians in 'the purges', before and during the war in order to keep the country loyal, he also wiped out the officer class of the Russian army shortly before hostilities commenced -partially explaining Russia's early disastrous failures at stopping the Germans.
Japanese ambitions in seizing the material wealth from china, with no regard to the 'subhuman' Chinese who lived there caused the approx. 13 million Chinese dead.
Next to this Hitler's 6 million dead Jews and the American nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki seems almost trivial
Yes, the above is a good reply, though the Holocaust & Atomic power are not trivial, but I see the point of what is said. As a by word, apparrently Pennicillins invention might well have halved the number of people who would have died had it not been invented ! The principal factor for the destruction in WW2 is the advance of technology, it made warfare much, much more mobile & lethal.
About 60 million people died in World War 2. In addition to this, innumerable destruction happened around the world. Entire cities were leveled through bombing.
The conclusion of World War II took place on the Battleship Missouri in Tokyo Harbor on September 2, 1945. General Douglas MacArthur oversaw the ceremony formally ending the most destructive war in history.
The Wallchart of World History was created in 1890.
he impacted the world
World War I wasn't the most destructive war. World War II was. World War II had over eight times as many casualties as World War I and also brought total war to a whole new level. It completely put Europe in ruins, but World War II was definitely the war to end all wars. After that came the Cold War, which was just political disagreement with words thrown around.
With a computer
because the world is filled with it
World History is history about the world
what is an example of ferocity of world war I
To teach of the history of the world wars, the possibility of man's destructive capabilities and racial genocide, as well as to prevent further tradgedies from happening.
People change the world; objects, unless they are destructive, aren't known for changing the world.
the costliest and most destructive war in human history would be world war 2. taking in the account of inflation, and loss of human life this war left a reconizable scar on the history of man I can't answer your question because it is not complete. Sorry I didn't answer your question. Next time read it out loud because you might understand it but other people might not.
No, AP European History is only based on European History with a little bit on the world. To get a complete view of World History, I suggest AP World History, which goes over history from way back into the modern world.
World War II

The use of tanks and aircrafts made World War 1 so destructive. Another reason was because there were so many countries involved.
