Answer:
World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. In a state of total war, directly involving more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, including the strategic bombing of population centres, and, with the development of nuclear weapons, the only two uses of such in war.

The events that seemingly occur are highly romanticized, as war is often portrayed by the government, media, etc. However, the ending is the biggest key into Bierce's thoughts on war. War and death can not be dramatized, they can only be realized as a cold and unforgiving force.
He drew upon the idea of natural rights.
