“World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, killing an estimated 50 to 85 million people from 1939 to 1945. The large-scale ways in which WWII changed the world are well-known: The Holocaust's decimation of Jewish people and culture, the use of atomic bombs on Japan, and the wide swath of death and destruction caused by the Axis powers in Europe. But there are also more indirect ways that WWII impacted modern society.
An investigation into how WWII shaped the modern world reveals that, much like during World War I, technological innovation flourishes during wartime. Inventions we still use today, such as modern computers, Super Glue, duct tape, and even Tupperware, were devised to support the war effort. Read on for more on how World War II changed the world in ways both large and small.” By Kellen Perry from 14 Ways World War II Directly Shaped the Way We Live Now
It Gave Us the Word 'Genocide'
• The term "genocide" did not exist before 1944. A Polish-German lawyer named Raphael Lemkin coined the term that year by combining the Greek word for race or tribe ("geno-") with the Latin word for killing ("-cide"). In 1945, the word was used at the Nuremberg trials as a descriptive term, but it wasn't until 1948 that genocide became the word used, internationally, for the crime it signifies.
It Changed Medical Ethics Forever
• The leading the medical community worldwide to adopt the World Medical Association’s Helsinki Declaration. The Declaration has been called "the bedrock of ethical standards for human experimentation and informed consent."
It Gave Us Better Radar
• RADAR (Radio Detection And Ranging) technology and its underwater cousin, SONAR, benefited from extensive research and development in WWII.
• Now because of radar technology, 21st century folks enjoy the convenience of microwaves, which use a cavity magnetron, a by-product of radar tech development.
It Created A 'Nation of Readers'
• Yoni Appelbaum of The Atlantic argues that American publishers created "a nation of readers" by basically giving away "122,951,031 copies of their most valuable titles" to soldiers overseas in the middle of World War II. The publishers struck a deal with the armed forces, creating cheap paperbacks to ship to units across the globe. Appelbaum says this inadvertently "democratized the pleasures of reading." Books were a luxury item at the time, costing two dollars or more on average, even in 1931.
• Thanks to cheap wartime paperbacks, books became "as popular as pin-up girls" to soldiers stationed in remote locales like Dutch New Guinea in the Pacific."- same as above
