Time to Blame

Even though people want to blame WWII all on the Germans, "You one person to start a fight, but two to make it last" ~Unknown. This very familiar phrase definitely applies to WWII, considering that is lasted for a very long time. If Germans were the only ones to blame, this would have been a German/Jew war, however it is titled a World War, because it involved the whole world. Based on what I have read in my novel, there are five main reasons why WWII lasted as long as it did.







1. Although it wasn't all Nazi's that made this war last, they are definitely to blame in quite a large ammount. The Nazi's and Hitler were the starters to this war, and they never stopped adding fuel to the fire as long as possible.



2. The second most ammount of blame should be put on new technology. Even though it has been helpful, and I don't deny progress is good, the war would have been much shorter, or at least less deadly if all the new weapons, subs, planes, bombs, and guns hadn't been invented. Even though this progress has been mostly benificial, it definitely added to the length and extremity of the war.

3. Their goal was to end the war, but with limited power and supplies, they only made it last longer, but helped make sure the right side won. Yes, it's the resistance. There were underground risistances everywhere, in Germany, England, France and Holland. Although these resistances were fighting for the same cause, they rarely got along, and did more fighting amongst themselves, then working against a common enemy. If these groups had worked harder to get along, the war may have ended sooner.


4. In war, everyone is to blame. The English were a big part, and an important member of the "Allies" who were one of the biggest forces in the whole war. Two opposing forces of the same caliber repel. It's a simple physics principle that applies in all areas of life, and that includes war.





5. Last, but not least, the Jews also were attributes to this war, however the blame is much less on them, than many other things. Even though they were the reason for the conflict in the beginning, it wasn't really their fault. Their blame is small, because even though they are the reason for the war, it was not beacuse of their actions, as much as it was because of their very existance. An unvalid reason for anyone in their right mind, but then again, no one ever said Hitler was. ;)
