There is an obvious gap between the two: the war was not officially over for much later than 1945 and National Sevice I think took some time to be introduced

At the time of WWII the allies were very anxious to have the United States enter and aide in the conflict due to the fact that at the time it was one of the only countries with the resources to possibly wage a successful war against Germany.  Of course there is always politics in any conflict but the basic reason for the war was Germany's desire to conquer and rule countries and people that wished to maintain their own sovereignty.

It was both but usually people were trying very hard to get into the army because the spoils of war were divided with the men, there were pensions, and so forth. Often land and slaves were given to valorous soldiers who distinguished themselves in the military.

A nation within a nation is a bad makeshift in the world.  It will encourage divisiveness that could destroy a country.

While this holds true if you preface your search of history by saying, "How many wars have there been," it unfortunately is a slanted argument that purposely ignores peace-time.  See, if you look at every recorded year that contained war, you'll otherwise have to note that during that year, not EVERY nation or EVERY group of people on Earth was at war.  While the war you would be pointing out was going on, several other locations were enjoying long, sustained, peace.  This equally holds true up until about the last two centuries when world wars and vast alliances add complexity to the comparison.\n\nSo, actually, there has been more peace than there has been war, if measured in quantitive amounts, even though war has almost constantly been taking place since the beginning of written history and most likely before hand.\n\nWith that much peace to draw from, how come we still do not have a working template for it?  Well, peace involves compromise.  As nice as compromise sounds when solving problems, there is an old adage that remarks, "You know it's a good compromise when both sides are unhappy."  Laughable though it may be, to whatever degree it holds true or to what ever degree peoples perceive it to be true, it is sometimes in a group's best interests to avoid compromise, thinking they are steering their own destinies.  There are many ways to avoid compromise.  War is one of them.\n\nHence, there are ways for peace to happen.  It is simply far more difficult make it happen.  Most peace happens on its own.  The way to MAKE peace, then, is to figure out ways to avoid going to war.

The war began Jun.25th,1950 and ended with an Armistice Agreement on July 27th,1953. The war started out as a civil war between south Korea and north Korea despite the cease fire( Armistice Agreement) the Korea's remain technically at war.\n\nNo Peace Treaty has ever been signed between the two Korea's. You can go to yahoo search and type in Korean war and you have several links to the information on the Korean war and the armistice agreement.

The 100 year war was somewhere around there. It delayed the Northern Renessaince, well that and the Black Death.

If Germany had won the war the government of the criminal actions would have permeated throughout the world and have begun to plot against each other and eventually that government would have broken apart fighting itself.  Then somewhere a movement would have begun to grow supportive of individual rights and it would have consume the older government.  \n\nAlthough centralized government will come to the fore periodically, over time, that which is supportive of the individual will rise and win.

That is a huge question...It can be said to lead all the way back to the Treaty of Versailles ending WWI. \n\nTry this. It's concise. http://ehistory.osu.edu/wwii/timeline.cfm

Good question, The war had just ended successfully, and that led to the Roaring Twenties. Not sure what you would call it.

It started slow.  I remember is from the 1970's.  It took awhile to really get going.

I don't think it was inevitable. Versialles always gets blamed-- but they couldv'e renegotiated it. Hitler had a lot to do with it-- maybe it was inevitable that the treaty terms made Germans angry, but that doesn't mean they'd definitely go to war over it.

Slavery had little to do with the Civil War. The prime issue was balance of power between Federal and State. Slavery happened to be the issue that fell along this divide. Could also throw in north-south economic disparacy.

I don't need 3 or 4 pages. What distinguishes World War One from all previous conflicts was that it was what we call a "Total War". That meant that not only were ALL citizens from the belligerent countries fair game for destruction, but all citizens were expected to contribute to the way effort in any way they could. There were no rules of gentlemanly conduct and no limits to what either side could do. It was a contest between the maximum force of one side, and the maximum force of the other side, hence, Total War.

In the aftermath of the Japanese occupation of Korea which ended with Japan's defeat in World War II in 1945, Korea was divided in two, with the Soviet Union controlling the area north of the 38th parallel and the United States in control south of the 38th parallel. The Korean people were not consulted by either power prior to this division. While virtually all Koreans welcomed liberation from Japanese imperial rule, they objected to the reimposition of foreign rule over the peninsula. The Soviets and Americans were unable to agree on the implementation of Joint Trusteeship over Korea. This led in 1948 to the establishment of separate governments in the north and south, each claiming to be the legitimate government of all of Korea.[citation needed]\n\nGrowing tensions between the governments in the north and south and border skirmishes eventually led to a civil war called the Korean War. On June 25, 1950 the (North) Korean People's Army attacked across the 38th Parallel in a move to reunify the peninsula under their political system. The war continued until July 27, 1953, when the United Nations Command, the Korean People's Army, and the Chinese People's Volunteers signed the Korean War Armistice Agreement. The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) has separated the North and South ever since\n\nSince its birth in the 1950's. Soviets, Kim Il Song, China major palyers.

Like any other nation, a war is costly and, during teh war, production is high and productivity is better than it was before. After the war, there is less need for production (since artillery and war materials are not as necessary). The veterans from the war also come back to the workforce, and the backlash would result in unemployment, whether it be for the veterans or the current workers. Also, due to the German air raids over britain, the cost for reconstruction would hinder other areas of productivity that would boost teh economy. The lack of demand over luxury goods, since people need money to buy other things like food, would lessen still since the people may fear losing their jobs. The overall world economy after world war I was devastating, not only in Great Britain.
