Second World War

The Second World War, a global conflict from 1939 to 1945, involved the vast majority of the world's countries, forming opposing military alliances. Recent news articles highlight its enduring relevance. One article suggests the world is inching back to a pre-WW2 order, posing challenges to 'middle powers.' Another reveals Argentina's past harboring of Nazi war criminals after the war, due to sympathies within the Peronist government. Declassified files expose how these criminals avoided arrest and lived ordinary lives. Furthermore, France recording more deaths than births for the first time since the war's end underscores the long-term demographic shifts resulting from the conflict and its aftermath. These articles demonstrate the war's continuing impact on global politics, historical accountability, and societal structures.
