The 20th century is one of the most tragic and violent in history. Much of the responsibility lies with the United States and Germany.

The fact that the September 1, 1939 the Adolf Hitler’s Germany invaded Poland and triggered what became known as the Second World War has known antecedents that we will not mention in this article. What we will remember was the bloody holocaust that took place during this period.

On the other hand, the United States did not stay behind and carried out an attack against Japan that marked a before and after in the destiny of the Second World War. It claimed an exaggerated number of lives and resulted in a tense and growing arms confrontation against the Soviet Union known as the Cold War.

Nazism, Holocaust and Atomic Bombs: 85 Years Since the Beginning of World War II

First of all, we will discuss the German case. A country devastated after the First World War and obliged to pay for the broken dishes of that conflict as if it had been the only one responsible, found in a fascist leader the channel for its resentment. This led the country to want to recover and take revenge on those who tore it apart after 1918. In this way, Adolf Hitler came to power and carried out a holocaust against the Jews that will never be forgotten.

On the other side were the United States of America and the Soviet Union, as stronger powers and allies such as Great Britain, France and Spain, among others. While on the German side we had Japan and Italy as more important allies. The day that Germany failed in its invasion of the Soviet Union was the end of that country’s possibilities. In any case, what happened in Japan was more tragic.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which was an American military base, the United States took revenge against a very weakened Japan that was about to surrender. The Yankees’ revenge was the launching of two atomic bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This caused the instant surrender of Japan, which, after the German surrender and the suicide of Adolf Hitler, ended the Second World War, leaving the Allied countries as winners, mainly the Soviet Union and the United States, because both Great Britain and France were completely destroyed.
