The answer to this question would fill a book and you certainly couldnt do it justice here.\n\nMaybe break the question down into sub questions like what effect did it have immediately during the conflict, what effect did it have on politics, religion, welfare, human rights, future wars etc.\n\nThat will give people a chance to give you good short answers which will then build up a picture.

World War II was a BIG factor in the USA becoming a power house. Also the 40's produced one of the biggest baby booms in US history for the 50's.

Positive- it allowed the major powers of the world to enter into detante- an uneasy peace.  This was because of assured mutual destruction- if we went into nuclear war, all major players would be completely destroyed.  This really helped head off any head-to-head type wars that could have otherwise occurred in the 60's-70's, and 80's.  Also as a positive, it allowed for a quick end to World War 2, and saved the lives of thousands of American serviceman who would have otherwise had to invade the Japanese mainland.\nNegative- crackpots like Iran and terrorists can get ahold of the nuclear technology, and use it for their own purposes.  The creation of the bombs requires uranium, which gives off waste.  This waste has to be stored somewhere, which is expensive and is a health and security risk.  Also many sites which produced nuclear weapons (such as Fernald, in Ohio) wre almost poisoned by the waste, and have required millsions and milloions of dollars to clean up.

Depression made people realize that government needed to control the economy (stocks and so on)\n\nWorld War II allowed the president to move troops around?\n\nand the Cold War allowed the president to play with our money and baad weapons O.o\n\nI think...

No 1 didnt affect the whole world, it just gave us something to laugh about.\nNo 2 has devastated the whole world.

wa! this is the era/generation that the earth shrank to a easy phonecall, google earth can how anyplace on earth to a 20 foot resolution, travel (govt withstanding) is fast & easy. the effects of religious adhesion will cause global conflict, travel will spread disease like never before, governments will tighten grips on all they can. economies are based on variables rather than substance (gold, silver,..)  for the 1st time ever humans have obvious effect on the earth on a global scale. the last 50 years have been profound beond our species. the next 100 will be detrimental.

Those are very different questions.\n\nThe first I'd say WWI, the widescale adoption of the automobile, the general rise of automation and the decline of small-plot agriculture, the great depression, the new deal, and WWII.\n\nThe second I'd say probably the loosening of immigration restictions, the exodus from Europe preceeding the two world wars, and the rise of the united states as a world superpower.

Historically, bad economic times brings out the very worst in people. World War-II began after a very lengthy economic depression and hunger brought tyrants to power.\n\nThe coming commodities crunch - record prices for oil, copper, other important stuff; prices doubling for gold, silver, platinum - along with a Social Security System which now promises retirees NOTHING, is as good a harbinger as any of global war within very few years. That, plus dozens of nuclear-armed countries and terrorist groups.

hmmmm. that one is tricky. but take ww2 for ex. the war was a big boost for the economy esp. since it started during the depression. it gave people jobs. and helped with the stock market. socially it wasn't so great though it did help people by boosting there moral as in getting jobs. but on the German front it was devastating to Jews and anyone the Germans persecuted. long term it ended up bringing Communism which as we all know isn't that great. so basically you are looking for anything that would be kinda like that where you could see a drastic impact on all fronts. good luck. hope i helped if not sorry.
