WAR

The main thing that was stuck in my head when learning about history, in elementary school until now, is world war 1 and world war 2. It is very important to know about the wars and why they started or why there was even a war between to groups due to the fact that "history shouldn't repeat." The world wars were mentioned so often because it is very importatnt to know it like your back hand because people fought in the war to protect the rest of us. The main reason that the world war 1 occured was mainly because the industry, alliance, and empire. Many people use the words "violence isn't the answer," but when you can't get what you want it tends to turn towards violence and fighting. Many people have learned that when fighting in this war we have lost a lot. We have lost many loved ones and mainly lost years and time over fighting. What many people also understand is that instead of fighting, we could have tried to make the country a better place as a whole. Any way of violence, bombing or shooting, we still lost a lot as a whole. It has come to a great understanding that war should be something that can be avoided because there are a lot of people today that are losing money because of it and we are putting our country in debt mainly to keep up with the needs and necesities for those fighting the war. In many people's perspectives world war 2 could have been avoided. To make a long story short, Germany felt that they were cut short on the treaty and they mainly wanted revenge. It is terrible to hear about those that were involved int he Holocaust. In high school, we had a holocaust week where every day you would listen to the story of a Holocaust survivor. It was very inspiring and there were some stories that were sweet and cute, and others that were just terrible. One lady had mentioned that she had to leave her fiance and he promised her that he would come back and they were separated for years, and one day they found each other and stayed true to each other and were still until this day are married. The sad stories that I heard were about those that were the only survivors of their families. It was a great experience to be able to listen to the survivors! This experience allowed me to have a greater experience of life and how blessed I am
