The five most important wars of the 20th century: World War I or "Great War"

   This war had a development in Europe, beginning from the year 1914, and ended in the year 1918. It ended when Germany asked for an armistice. Consequently, in the year 1919 was signed the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty was broken by Germany in the Second World War.

     The First World War was known to Americans as the "European War". The number of deaths as a result of this war, fluctuate around 9 million combatants. An important fact is that the First World War is regarded as one of the most deadly conflicts. This conflict was the trunk of several political conflicts with revolutionary purposes of those nations that were involved.

       Received the world qualifier, because in it were involved all the major industrial powers and military of the time, divided into two opposing alliances. On the one hand was the Triple Alliance, formed by the Central Powers: the German Empire and austria-hungary. Italy, who had been a member of the Triple Alliance with Germany and austria-hungary , not joined the Central Powers, since Austria, against the agreed terms, was the aggressor nation that triggered the conflicto.12 On the other hand was the Triple Entente, formed by the United Kingdom, France and the Russian Empire. Both alliances suffered changes and several were the nations that would eventually entering the ranks of one side or the other as the war progressed: Italy, Japan and the United States joined the Triple Entente, while the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria joined the Central Powers (Triple Alliance). In total, more than 70 million of military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, have been mobilized, and fought in the larger war in history.

          After the end of the war, four great empires ceased to exist, the German, Russian, austro-hungarian and ottoman. The successor States of the first two lost an important part of their former territories, while the latter two were dismantled. The map of Europe and its borders have changed completely and several nations became independent or were created.  In the heat of the First World War also masterminded the Russian Revolution, which concluded with the establishment of the first State of the self-proclaimed socialist history, the Soviet Union. It was founded the League of Nations, with the aim to avoid a conflict of this magnitude is a repeat. However, two decades after World War II broke out. Among the reasons can be pointed out: the rise of nationalism, a weakness of democratic States, the humiliation felt by Germany after its defeat, the great economic crisis and, above all, the rise of fascism. 

           It is amazing the power with which ended this war. We can say that it was the war that woke up the giant (Germany) that more hurt to humanity. That is why it is important to know the damage of evil, to have reasons and sufficient reasons for doing good. We continued up to the next, with the third most important war. Hope you liked.

Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)

           The known Hitler was President and Chancellor of Germany for twelve years, between 1933 and 1945. He was leader of the German nationalist workers party (Nazi) and led a totalitarian regime during the period known as the Third Reich or nazi Germany. Hitler was who started World War II for the purpose of the expansion across Europe.

            Hitler aimed to establish a new order based on the absolute hegemony of the nazi Germany on the European continent. Its foreign policy and interior aimed to seize the vital space for the Germanic peoples. It promoted the rearmament of Germany, and after the invasion of Poland by the German army on September 1, 1939, started the second world war. With these acts, Hitler violated the Treaty of 1919 Versailles that established the conditions of peace after the World War I.

          Under the direction of Hitler, the German forces and their allies occupied most of Europe and North Africa in 1941. Those territorial gains gradually decreased after the battle of Stalingrad, until 1945, when the Allied armies defeated the German army. For racial reasons, Hitler was cause of the death of seventeen millions, including six million Jews and between half and million and means of Gypsies, in what was termed subsequently «Holocaust».

          I invite you to delve into the history of Adolf Hitler. For my part, I consider it a male entrepreneur, wrestler and cult. Great skill was let for others, hatred and xenophobia which were to her around. Maybe, if I had been able to achieve being an artist as I wanted to, history would have been different. But unfortunately as Hitler became responsible for millions of deaths, of people who paid for his stupid idea to clean your country, as if he had cleaned it. The story does not change, and is recorded to always and always load its name all the names of those who died by it. Sad life that led, sad people who created it, sad that believed in the power of his word, sad that followed it, sad those who venerate him, sad will always be this story.

Below I attached them a movie that is worth analyzing it, Hitler's psychological profile tells a lot.

The five most important wars of the 20th century: World War II (1939-1945)

            This conflict started between Germany and the Franco-British Alliance, but spread to affect the majority of the Nations of the planet. The second world war was a total war, therefore, were used all human and economic resources for each State. This conflict was unique in modern times by the fact of violence against the civilian population and the genocide (this was the extermination of Gypsies, Jews, homosexuals, among other groups). This episode or purpose of war, was caused by the (Nazi) Germany nationalist group.

            The world powers were divided into two groups: the allies and the axis powers. In this all-out war were available to all economic, military and scientific resources.

           One of the significant events of this war were: the Holocaust and the use of nuclear weapons. Taking around 50-70 million dead.

            Among this huge war, were given more conflicts between power and power. At the end of this, to sum up a bit, the war in Europe ended with the capture of Berlin by Soviet and Polish troops. For this reason, the surrender of Germany took place on May 8, 1945. The Imperial Japanese Navy was defeated by the United States, and the invasion of the Japanese archipelago became imminent. After the bombing Atomic envelope Hiroshima and Nagasaki by United, the war in Asia ended on August 15, 1945 when Japan accepted unconditional surrender.

            The war ended with total victory of the allies over the shaft. The second World War altered the political relations and the social structure of the world. The Organization of the United Nations (UN) was created by the conflagration to foster international cooperation and prevent future conflicts. The Soviet Union and the United States rose as rival superpowers, setting the stage for the Cold war, which lasted for the next 46 years. At the same time it declined the influence of the great European powers, materialized in the beginning of decolonization in Asia and Africa. The majority of the countries whose industries had been damaged initiated the economic recovery, while the political integration, especially in Europe, emerged as an effort to establish the postwar relationship.

          Important fact: United States was the country most invested in this war. The approximate amount is $341,000 million. The second largest figure was $272,000 from Germany, the third largest number It was $192,000 of part of USSR. Britain ranks fourth with an amount of $120,000. While Italy contributed $94,000; and Japan, $56,000. This resulted in economic losses to many countries involved.

The Guerrilla War

             The term “guerrilla” began to be used in Spain after the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte. This conflict is between an army composed of soldiers of the profession and civilians. Therefore, it is an unequal war. This causes the attacks to be by means of tactics. The purpose of running for tactics is the harassment and attrition of the enemy.

            In the "maquis" are taken as techniques: attacks fast and surprise, as before mentioned; infiltration and intercept communications, blasting facilities, bridges and roads, capturing weapons and provisions. All this have done so for several purposes throughout history. For example, for the year 1960 the purpose was national liberation. For this reason, United States Department of Defense and other treaties considered this conflict as low intensity movements, by the lack of territory to control and govern. This conflict has to happen in an area of difficult access. We also can say that the guerrilla movement is a movement that goes through three phases, the first is the mobilization of the peasantry and the establishment of the Organization, the second consists in the establishment of bases rural and increased coordination between the guerrillas and the third is the transition to a conventional war.

             I think the "guerrilla" as a mechanism for much boldness and agility. Perhaps a little weaker than other wars, but with the same purpose to conquer or to bring about a transformation. This war, as the others, claims lives. Therefore, I do not consider it better or worse. But nothing, down attached them the link to a video on the guerrillas in Colombia.

The civil war

           In general, the civil war is the conflict that is given by the encounter between two different ideologies. This confrontation occurs in the same territory, whether village, town or community. You can intervene the foreign forces, turning this conflict into an international one. The particular objective of this war is the succession of a territory. The civil war can be seen as a revolution if the redistribution of the majority of a society happens.

           The Spanish civil war of the last century, lasted two years and eight months. In this Spanish conflict encountered by the parties of republicans and nationalists. The Spanish civil war had several stages, such as: class struggle, the war of religion, a clash of nationalisms opposites, the struggle between military dictatorship and democracy, between revolution and counterrevolution, between fascism and communism. Elaborating a bit about the consequences of this conflict, it is worth mentioning the increase of the mortality, the birth rate decrease, the destruction of cities, the economic structure, the artistic heritage, at the end of the so-called Silver Age of letters and sciences Spanish, and the political sector was also affected.

           In general terms, we've all heard the term civil wars. This conflict is very old, as well as in the country of Ukraine are going through in these moments by this conflict. Below I attached a few photos on the example of the Spanish civil war, a conflict that still hurts into the memories of the spaniards. As I always say, until then!

The limited wars

            Another style of war, is the limited war. These conflicts are, as the name says, limit. These wars are very different from the total wars, which we talked about earlier. What's more, we can say that they are quite the opposite. In definition, limited wars are restricted in the geographical area, the weapons that can be used, the type of lens who want to attack, or the degree of mobilization.

          For 1945, the great powers (E. E. U. U. and USSR) autoimpusieron not use armamiento nuclear. Another example of these conflicts, are The Korean War (1950-1953) and The Vietnam War (1965-1975). We can do this because it's not engaged all its resources-natural, human, economic, or used by U.s. soldiers. Two other wars that will fit in this category were The Falklands War (1982), this conflict was between Argentina and the United Kingdom; and The First Gulf War (1990-1991).

         This conflict, as we have seen, is one that does not involve all the resources, but that is limited. It is for this reason that we can establish the differences between the total wars, that in the opposite way, involving all of its resources to achieve victory. Below I attached some photos of the aforementioned examples. As always, it is a pleasure to pass by here. The next time we see you, we will discuss the civil wars.
