Shell shock was a term only associated with World War one due to the major impact it had throughout the war. It was specifically used in Britain to express a psychological breakdown for a soldier from stress and trauma and fear from battles and fighting. It was hard to cure them as people and doctors considered them to be cowards therefore refused to offer help. Some men only received help depending on their high class or rank in the community, while others were even put on trial and even executed for being ‘cowards’. Shell shock caused a lot of problems and casualties for the country and for the war.
Bergen-Belsen The United States has had many horrifying accident that ended up costing millions of deaths, but never like the tragic deaths that happened in Bergen-Belsen. Northwest of Celle, in between the villages of Bergen and Belsen established in 1940, Bergen-Belsen was one of the worst concentration camps in history. It was originally a detention camp, where Jews were held with the intention of exchanging them for German prisoners of war held overseas. The prisoners of this concentration camp experienced such dreadful conditions in the camp, including the most primitive sanitary conditions, starvation rations, and virtual lack of medical care contributed to the enormously high mortally rates. Bergen-Belsen was divided into 8
For example, the first part of the book takes place in the city of Leningrad while it is under siege by the German forces. The horrible conditions are reflected when Lev says “others dwindled while the ration cards were cut and cut again, halving those who looked like circus strongmen before the invasion” (Benioff 8). The cutting of ration cards is described in this quote, because as the war wore on there was not enough food to feed everyone. As I already stated, the authorities in Leningrad did not think there was not enough food to last more then a few months, but by this point in the book it was already a while afterwords. The shortage of food was also shown with the very quest that this entire book was based of off.
Civil War started to breakout. Many people were on the street, living in etreme poverty because there hosue was bombed. This citizens have to live in fear about getting killed. Sometimes even they lose family members to the war. People are also breathing in toxins from, the guns, and bombs that cause so much damage.
Jewish businesses along with almost every synagogue in Germany were damaged or completely destroyed. As the Nuremberg Laws felt insufficient in solving the “Jewish question”, and with the occupation of eastern Poland after September 1939, which held about two million Jews, the treatment of the Jews became an urgent matter to Adolf
After the terrible loss at Stalingrad, the Germans began the slow, painful retreat back to Germany.The Battle of Stalingrad can be broken down into two phases. The first phase, which lasted from September until November 1942, consisted of the German blitzkrieg, which had been fairly successful up to this point. While the saturation bombing by the Luftwaffe was still fairly effective, the Germans could not use their tanks at Stalingrad. The streets of Stalingrad were too narrow for their tanks and they could not use
In 1945 united states conducted two atomic bombs against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. H.I: For six months, the united states made use of intense strategic fire bombing of 67 Japanese Cities, the acute effects killed 90,000-166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000-80,000 in Nagasaki. Dieppe Raid: Was also known as ``The battle of Dieppe, Operation Rutter or later on Operation Jubilee`` H.I: During the World War there was an allied attack on German-occupied part of Dieppe on the northern coast of France. It began at 5:00 am and by 10:50 allied commanders had been forced to call a retreat. A total of 3,623 of 6,086 men who made it ashore were either killed, wounded, or
Brooman uses the statistic to show the high level of casualties resulting from the evacuation. Brooman says on source B9 that “they also abandoned 150000 of their French allies to become prisoner for Germans. This shows a great defeat for Britain because now they have lost their trust with the Frenchs which could have a bad impact on Britain and its
World War I began because of many obstacles that America would have to sustain in order for the war to diminish. On May 7, 1915, the German army sank a ship called the Lusitania. At this time, 1,198 people lost their lives and included 128 American people. This ship was carrying war shipments from the United States to England. The passengers on the ship knew there may be a possible attack on the ship but Woodrow Wilson condemned this attack as illegal and inhuman.
Eisenhower tells about one of the sacrifices coming by war. Because it costs a lot of money to warfare and these money used to actually kill a lot of people could be used to help those who hunger and the homeless for instance. Another consequent prevented by war is the economic situation after a war. Often there are really many buildings, factories, roadways, bridges and other places, which are completely ruined by bombs and grenades, so for the country where the war has been warfare it wills cots a lot to rebuild. Also the environmental damage with oil spills, chemical weapons and nuclear radiation damage.
