Effects of War- World War 2


The ESPRAT+G standards involved in World War 2 were;

Geography: After the war, Germany was divided into four quadrants, each controlled by the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. These nations formed an alliance called the Allied Powers. 

Economy: The European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was founded by 6 nations. Luxembourg, Netherlands, West Germany, France, Italy and Belgium. The objective of this populace was to gather all the steel and coal of the participating countries, and to strength the economy of each country. Unfortunately, this caused tensions between nations who were enemies at the war. The group grew, and later on changed it's name to the European Union.

Technology: Technology progressed massively during and after the war. The research for nuclear weapon design impacted the scientific community. Code breaking was involved. The Colossus project helped the war.

Society: The drawbacks of society were that women served the war and took the place of many men. Fortunately, this reduced in the following years. The Red Army (the soviets at the time) daily sexually abused of young girls and women at all age. This left more than 2,000,000 women and daughters raped after the war. Children that fought in the war serving Germany had no privileges after and during the war.

Politics: The league of nations did not see the war coming, there fore a band of nations formed a new international alliance called the United Nations (UN). The UN was more alive and active than the league of nations in topics such as fighting diseases and human aid in the world, but also was involved in diplomatic affairs.
