World War II was the deadliest war in history from 1939-1945. It involved more than 50 countries and over 100 million soldiers across Europe, the Pacific, Atlantic, Southeast Asia, China, the Middle East, and North Africa. The war ended with the defeat of Germany and Japan and the rise of the United States and Soviet Union as global superpowers. Key causes of the war included the impact of the Treaty of Versailles after WWI, the worldwide economic depression, the failure of appeasement policies, and the rise of militaristic governments in Germany and Japan that ignored the League of Nations.

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.

An overview of some of the key events of WW2 with additional information and pictures about the summaries. Also an important list of key figures and some of their roles. Shamelessly developed on another 'sharer's' ppt and built more into it to make it longer and more comprehensive - and I really liked the background too.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. World War II, which began in 1939 and ended in 1945, was the deadliest
and most destructive war in history. Before the war, Germany, America,
and the rest of the world were going through the Great Depression. The
economy was very bad, unemployment was at an all-time high, and
massive inflation caused money to lose its value. More than fifty nations in
the world were fighting, with more than 100 million soldiers deployed.
Countries like America and Britain were part of the Allied powers. Japan
and Germany were part of the Axis powers.
5. World War II: Causes
Causes of World War II The death and destruction of World War I was so
horrible that it was called “the war to end all wars.” Yet, the agreement to
end World War I did not resolve the problems of the world and, according to
some historians, lead directly to the next catastrophe: World War II. The
major causes of World War II were numerous. They include the impact of the
Treaty of Versailles following WWI, the worldwide economic depression,
failure of appeasement, the rise of militarism in Germany and Japan, and the
failure of the League of Nations.
6. Japan’s Militarism In 1931, Japan was hit badly by the economic
depression. Japanese people lost faith in the government. They turned
to the army in order to find a solution to their economic problems. In
order to produce more goods, Japan needed natural resources for its
factories. The Japanese army invaded China, an area rich in minerals and
resources. China asked for help from the League of Nations. Japan
ignored the League of Nations and continued to occupy China and
Korea. As Japan invaded other areas of South East Asia including
Vietnam, the United States grew concerned about its territories in Asia,
such as the Philippines and Guam. Japan felt that its expansion could be
threatened by the United States military and attacked Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, in December 1941. World War II had begun in Asia.
7. Failure of the League of Nations
The League of Nations was an international organization set up in
1919 to keep world peace. It was intended that all countries
would be members and that if there were disputes between
countries, they could be settled by negotiation rather than by force.
The League of Nations was a good idea, but ultimately a failure. Not
all countries joined the league and the League had no army
to prevent military aggression such as Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia in
Africa or Japan’s invasion of Manchuria in China
8. Germany’s Militarism
Hitler immediately began secretly building up Germany’s army
and weapons. Although Britain and France knew of Hitler’s
actions, they thought a stronger Germany would stop the
spread of Communism from Russia. In 1936 Hitler ordered
German troops to enter the German-speaking areas of the
Rhineland (France), Austria, and Czechoslovakia. At this point
neither France nor Britain was prepared to go to war. In 1936,
Hitler made alliances with Italy and Japan. The military
alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan was called the Axis
Powers.
