also without ww2, we probably wouldn't be as advanced as we are rn

The events of WW2 set up the events of the Cold War, which led to the world of today

Ban

this thread and even the replies

These vast amounts of WW2 video games and movies even further my point, It’s based on vainglory and lore not education or rectification

I like air as a poster but he does have his woat moments 😔

We really calling critical events in history overrated now

OP is a contrarian

Fax , but I wouldn't say it's the first industralized genocide. Let's not forget about Belgium's King Leopold II who went to the Congo in pursuit of rubber production.

Leopold II genocided an estimate of over 15million people (more than twice the estimate of 6million jews). He also slaughtered so many Congolese to the point that their population was literally cut in half around 1920.
Slaves that did not meet their rubber quotas had to pay the colonizers by having their hands or genitals chopped off.

OP didn't define any mistakes or offer much of anything in the post lol

"ultimately meaningless" "they did not understand the entire thing themselves"

I was reaching for his benefit

Op always making dumb ass threads

To study WW2 one ought to have an understanding of what led to it happening the way it did

The economic and governmental state of Germany (and other countries) post WW1 and how that created a void where extreme nationalism and scapegoating for the problems could take place.

The state of Asian countries, and why Japan found it necessary to attack pearl harbor, how the US became a "superpower" because of WW2 and that completely changed the game,

There are so many ideologies and forms of government and political ideas taking place during WW2

In addition to that, the art, the music, the culture that came as a result, would be endless,

But that being said, I agree that school curriculums most likely don't teach about the topic in a compelling or well-rounded way

I actually agree OP.

The whole high school and even middle school curriculum is pretty much all about WWII from the US point of view, nothing else. Not black history, not societal history, nope just about the American point of view of WWII.

I see lots of ppl on here talking about how History class teaches nothing about black history except MLK, and only white history, yet here we are with the whole thread contradicting that suspected notion

typical KTT

wow this is so sad

It’s super interesting tho

It’s crazy how many people have no idea that this ever happened. Atrocities in African are always downplayed or flat out ignored.

The reason we learn so much about WW2 is because it’s one of the worst periods of human history and we don’t want to repeat it.

Obviously, you aren’t learning s*** though, which explains why you made this dumbass thread.

By no metric was the treatment of citizens in 1930s America worse than Nazi Germany
