The effect of world war I

 The beginning of the new era "1914".

World war I was bad enough for the world. We saw some new things added to modern warfare. The use of airplanes and the introduction of the armored "tank" moving on a caterpillar tread, as introduced by the British, and poison gas that called for masks as part of the regular equipment of a soldier.

 However, world war II, twenty-one years after the first world war ended, was four times as destructive. It came to a frightening climax with the explosion of two atomic bombs over two populous cities in the Far East. Shortly thereafter came the invention of the hydrogen bomb, with far greater capacity for Mass slaughter, warheads to carry such bombs and capable of spanning oceans and  arriving at target without advance notice.

The stockpiling of nuclear weapons for missile warfare disquiets the whole world. It threatens the existence of all mankind. Honestly, why should war be our focus instead of peace and reducing the gap between the poor and the rich?

Billions of dollars have been spent and are still being spent on something which has never resulted into something good but distraction and sorrow. What tomorrow holds for our world, no one knows.
