The number one cause of the American Civil War is the issue of slavery.
The Second World War was a political and military conflict on a global scale that took place between 1939 and 1945, in which most of the countries of the world were involved and which represents one of the most traumatic and significant historical and cultural milestones of the century. XX, given the state of Total War (absolute economic, social and military commitment of nations) assumed by the two sides involved.
The conflict cost the lives of between 50 and 70 million people, both civilian and military, of which 26 million belonged to the USSR (and only 9 million were military). Particular case are the millions of people executed in concentration and extermination camps, subjected to subhuman conditions of existence or even to medical and chemical experiments, such as the almost 6 million Jews systematically exterminated by the German National Socialist regime. The latter was called the Holocaust.
To this must be added the numerous deaths that the economic consequences of the conflict caused worldwide, such as the famine in Bengal that claimed the lives of almost 4 million Indians, and which are often ignored by the official history of the conflict, whose total balance of deaths may be around 100 million people.
<span>Most people at that time thought the world was flat. When you
sailed out to sea and they could no longer see your ship they assumed
you fell off the edge of the world. Columbus figured out (not by
himself, other educated people also knew this) that the world was round.
He figured it was a lot smaller though. He thought he could sail out
into the ocean and come out in India, there by taking a short cut and
putting one over on Spain. What Columbus didn't realize was the world
was alot bigger than he thought and there was a whole Continent out
there nobody knew about. Sooooo when he landed in S. America he thought
he was in India.</span>
