I’m slowly coming to realize that reading about anything related to the Second World War is ultimately meaningless

Even the people being an important part of the entire period did not understand the entire thing themselves

If anything that makes studying it more important, otherwise how will we learn from the mistakes you've defined ?

Ok this is a very stupid thread. Beside breeding more dumb and ignorant americans this will accomplish nothing.

What about World War II is useless and you don't need to know?

It’s not as important as they make it seem in high school it’s like 70% of the history curriculum

What a wild unwarranted take from left field. Where did this even come from? Why was this on your mind?

OP ur right

these f***ers dead anyway who gives af

anime avi still being weird lmao

I had a history teacher tell us that most teachers stay too long on WW2 so you may have a point there.

We need to learn from the past to pave a better future OP.

there's no part of history of mankind is utterly useless not genocides as told by fanatical commies

I’m for history but WW2 really isn’t very significant in the grand scale of humanity, not even in that time period. In that same era Chinese and Russian industrization were much more important

World War II is just a testament of America’s vain glory it’s to instill love and patriotism in the hearts of its citizens

I agree.

to an extent maybe but the military history channel was a mistake lol. used to watch the s*** out of that channel

I believe it's more relevant than ever. Observing what's going on in the world right now with the rise of alt-right, xenophobia and overall social unrest It feels eerily similar to the 20s and 30s leading up to Hitler's rise to power. I guess a century is enough for people to forget their mistakes

obvious troll thread

stop referring to it as ww2 and call it the European civil war

It really never disappeared America was preaching that it was fighting Nazi Germany because it was xenophobic and racist but at home domestically were abusing their citizens an equally or worse fashion just simply on the fact that it’s brutality and tyrant Tt on blacks expanded centuries

yes we should ignore america and japan :-D

in APUSH we spent more time on the Puritans than on WW2. Most US high school history curricula ends right after WW2. If he’s not kidding, idk what OP is talking abt when he says school spends so much time on it

Black people couldn’t even drink from the same water fountain and we had Japanese in camp we really were just wolves in sheep clothing

heck yeah, ww2 overrated 😎😎
