If you want to know more information, you can find great articles about both wars on wikipedia. I have put links to the articles themselves. Be sure to click a few of the links in each section because the different parts of the wars are on different pages.\n\nBoth wars were massive scale, so there are pages focused on different parts and who was involved.\n\nHope this helps you out!

Both world wars were in the 20th century. Also the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, etc. I think that most wars start as someones freedom of religion is denied.

Well a "war" is defined by an "open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations" it generally includes armed assault.  That said, WWII was a "war" b/c nations declared there be a state of hostility among themselves...the countries approached an impasse and used political pressures and militant power to try and resolve it.  \n\n\nSo, a list??  Let me try and generalize "war" in bullet-form.\n\n- Disagreement b/w one or more nations \n- Governments DECLARED OPENLY that there be a dynamic b/w the nations which includes forcefully trying to "get what they want."\n- Force in WWII included blockades, the killing of both soldiers and civilians, invading foreign territories to reach strategic targets to be destroyed, looting, raping, torture, etc. (no country is exempt from this laundry list of behaviors, some countries more guilty of certain ones than others, I won't name names).  \n\nHope my answer helped - if you need more let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I don't know of any sites to direct you to...\n\nbut you might want to research the economic situation of the countries after WWI...hyperinflation and social instability, which paved the path for Hitler's rise to power.\n\nI would also investigate WHY this happened: the treaty signed punishing Germany, so that they were in the aforementioned economic position...

Here are a couple:\n\n1. Development of Canadian nationalism:\n\nDespite all of the people that Canada lost in the First World War, there were many battles in which Canadians fought valiantly. Canadians became known for their bravery and strength, and we began to see ourselves as a nation separate from Britain, capable of accomplishing our own goals. Specifically, you should look into the battle at Vimy Ridge and Ypres.\n\n2. The war caused women's roles to start to change. Look for facts about:\n\n-More Canadian women in the workforce.\n-The Canadian suffragist movement.\n\nPerhaps you might also want to say something about how the war was a pre-cursor to the Roaring Twenties in Canada, or how the war helped us to industrialize.

Wars are fought when two countries have big problems such as invasion when a country wants more space or more people there are many reasons why a country go to war but there are a lot of disadvantages to because going to war is  lose of a lot of money and loss of life.

WWI had the introduction of machine guns and flame throwers.  they also used "trench warfare."  soldiers would dig long, deep trenches in the ground for protection, and would keep digging layers of trenches to get closer to the enemy lines.  some slow planes were used in WWI, but it wasn't until WWII that had actual dogfights.  WWII also had nuclear bombs (the US dropping them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki), and pipe bombs (used when storming the beaches of Normandy, like in Saving Private Ryan).  The Korean War was a transitional period to guerilla warfare that was featured in the Vietnam Conflict.  In Vietnam they also used Napalm (bombs that would burst into flames and burn the jungles, along with its victims) by dropping these bombs from airplanes, along with agent orange.  The Cold War was basically espionage and an arms race.  It started around the time of JFK (1960-63) with the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis (if you like movies, check out Thirteen Days, an HBO movie with Kevin Costner).  Basically between the 1960s and 1989, the US and former Soviet Union tried to see who can make the biggest arsenal of nuclear warheads.  You can look any of this information up at wikipedia.  they have a lot of good information, but make sure you try and check it with something else because they do have a lot of misleading stuff, especially in history.

You use the term because it fits your beliefs.  I support a war to end the continuing pain and suffering of people ruled by a cruel dictator and his monsterous children.  I don't support all wars.  I support THE War (emphasis on the "the" and the capital "W").  That is why I use the term.
