Churchill said many times that WW2 was an ‘unnecessary war’. He was thinking only of the Europe and not the WW2 in the Pacific. Hegemony, imperialism and nationalism had a lot of to do with it, but historian can never be satisfied with these labels. Unlike the sociologists, military strategists, the economists and psychologists, historians cannot be satisfied with generalisations. These are not specific enough for the historians. Historians like to dig into their subject in details and look into the specifics, motives and the events. Because their explanation is in such detail level, inevitably there are many shades of opinions and different views. Then they debate amongst themselves and hopeful come to some kind of conclusion as to what actually happened. But this is too complicated for politicains. They like simple explanation. Politicians pick and choose facts and events to build their case according to their political colours.
This is what is happening to the history of the Second World War. It is been revised, distorted and even denied. In authoritarian society, books are banned, views are censored and people are kept ignorance of the events. In a more open nations, this could lead to denial of holocausts and atrocities. Myths and invention can always manufactured to justify their ideology. As J H Plumb said in ‘The Death of the Past’, the role of the historian was to “dissolve those simple structural generalisations by which our forefathers interpreted the purpose of life in historical terms” and to challenge the use of the past as an instrument of political or social repression. In the words of British historian Eric Hobsbawn “We (historian) have a responsibility to historical facts in general, and for criticizing the politico-ideological abuse of history in particular.” No nation is greater or smaller because of their past, it is what they are doing today that matters.

Russia entered the war poorly equipped and led, which further damaged morale and faith in the ruling czar. As conditions worsened, unrest and demonstrations grew. In March 1917, the czar abdicated and a provisional government took over until elections. However, two factions, the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks, fought for control. The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, advocated for immediate peace and radical land reforms. In November 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power in the October Revolution, establishing the Soviet Union and communist rule.

The ultimate test of the Russian battle order has usually been war
The Romanov Empire failed that test in WWI – and fell
By the time of the next test – WWII, the Russian state was transformed into a more formidable machine
The “socialist” organization of the country was aimed at making the state more militarily capable
A similar logic unfolded in Italy and Germany under different forms of “socialism”
They talked of “socialism”, but they meant winning world wars
Axis
World War II saw over 50 million deaths globally. The Axis powers of Italy, Germany, Japan and Russia each had totalitarian regimes led by dictators seeking to expand their nations' power.

Lesson 1 Dictators & War
Totalitarian states arose in several European and Asian countries in the 1930s in response to economic hardship and nationalist sentiment following World War I. These regimes, led by figures like Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler, promised to restore prosperity but ruled through oppression and violence. They pursued aggressive expansionist policies, with Germany rearming and invading neighboring lands while Japan invaded Manchuria and parts of China. Britain and France responded weakly, pursuing appeasement rather than standing up to the growing threats to peace.
Totalitarian leaders1
Stalin took power in the Soviet Union after Lenin's death and immediately began purging his opponents through death and terror. He implemented collectivization of farms and five-year plans to industrialize the USSR and build up its military through a command economy with total government control. This led to totalitarian rule through fear, censorship, propaganda, and secret police. Similarly, Mussolini and his fascists took power in Italy in 1922 and established a totalitarian fascist state through extreme nationalism, military expansionism, and by demanding total obedience to the state apparatus. Hitler also came to power in 1933 and quickly dismantled Germany's democracy to construct a Nazi totalitarian regime based on racial ideology that systematically oppressed Jews and other groups through the Gestapo secret police and fascist propaganda
