Australian Economic Development Following Two World Wars

This was one of the effects of World War I for Australia although it was not until World War II when they concentrated on increasing their population. This paper discusses numerous changes made in Australia as both direct and indirect results of each of these wars. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Treatment of Germans & Japanese During World War II
[ send me this paper ]
In 5 pages the author answers the question of whether the people of the United States treated German and Japanese people differently during World War II. 'World War II was a total war. It involved the American Allies and their enemies, the Germans and the Japanese. Germany did not adhere to the Geneva Conventions, they tortured and brutalized and executed thousands of people. America hated the Germans for this, but they were not as much of a threat to the Americans as were the Japanese. Japan sent kamikaze pilots to bomb Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, thus propelling the Japanese people into a war in the Pacific with America. The Germans and the Japanese were treated as enemies because they were trying to take over the world.' Bibliography lists 4 sources.

How World War I Set The Stage For World War II

In this 5 page essay, the writer argues that the severe terms and conditions imposed upon Germany at the conclusion of WWI contributed to that country's faltering economy and loss of national pride-- circumstances which made the German people susceptible to the propaganda of Hitler and the rise of the Nazi party. Thus, the world's harsh punishing of Germany ultimately ignited the sparks that would flame a Second World War. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The Threat of Nuclear War in the Post-Cold War World
[ send me this paper ]
In this 5 page research paper, the writer describes how much more serious the threat of nuclear war has actually become since the end of the Cold War. It is argued that while the START series of treaties (and others) do indeed present themselves as positive steps towards world peace, securing world safety from the possible threat of nuclear proliferation in countries like Iraq is now an all-important concern. In sum, this paper makes the point that the nuclear threat hasn't been erased-- It has simply changed its form. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
