World War


Book Description

The Royal honour, conflict of thought, unstable mind and greed of colonization resulted in the Great War of 1914. The war in European states were common in general for centuries. War of 20th century can be justified as world war and this time not only European states, but other continents too took part in the war. Impolitic aggressive policy by Austria-Hungary and Imperial Germany during the first decade of the 20th century created two groups in and around European states. Group forming was driven by fear rather than ambition. This fear made the European states men to give power to military custodians. Balkans were mostly misrepresented which ignited the spark for war. Aftermath events were termed as World War. The second war was officially announced on 1939. It was not the continuity of the 1914 World War (Great War), but the purpose was similar to that of the war in 1914. So, the 1914 war was termed as World War I and 1939 war was termed as World War II. Time changed every thing and World War II was none other than the emotions and desires of the past.
