I remember history classes in high school and the chapter i remember the most about is always the discussion about World War 1 and 2. So while we reviewed over the chapter we read in class, i felt like i knew everything backwards and forwards. From knowing the causes of world war 1: 1. alliances, 2. empire, and 3. the industry; to how this war was fought. Sad to me that our world seems to always come down to fighting. Whether it came down to the genocides or who could threaten to destroy which world first with nuclear bombs, it still to this day seems like we haven't learned our lesson of great loss. Loss of loved ones, loss of money, and loss of years of fighting when we could be growing stronger as a country.
To me war can be avoided. World war 2 could have definitely been avoided in my opinion. Because of the resentment that Germany had towards the treaty of versatile and how they got short handed, i feel like that was a main cause in their motivation to get revenge, which brought forth WW2.
All in all, i feel like the most remorse for the victims of the Holocaust. It gets to me every time yet i am always so interested to learn more about it every time. After taking a trip to the Holocaust museum in LA, i found myself in a new realization for how lucky i am as an individual today. But to think that one country could truly do that to that race of individuals is just heart breaking to me every time.
