History

Hello!

WW2 affected "today" and the way we live in many ways. I'll list a few examples of how it did so below:

• WW2 gave us the word "genocide".

That's right! The word was invented by a Polish-German guy named Raphael Lemkin in 1944. That is the term he used for that year. Until WW2, the word had not existed.

• WW2 gave us the first computer!

The Colossus was the first electronic, digital computer, and it was developed during WW2 by British Codebreakers. Guess we could thank them for our electronic devices!

• WW2 improved the Radar

It is because of radar technology that we are able to use microwaves and eat more conveniently. Also, the Titanic was found on the bottom of the ocean, all thanks to radar! The movie also exists just because of the radar, and WW2!

Wide gaps between rich and poor is the answer.

The private sector was booming when the government stopped buying ammunition and hiring soldiers. The factory that used to make bombs made toasters, and toaster sales surged. On paper, measured GDP declined after the war. In 1947 it was 13% lower than in 1944.

Gross National Product (GNP), which measures all goods and services produced, surged from just $ 200 billion in 1940 to $ 300 billion in 1950. By 1960, with over $ 500 billion, the United States was the wealthiest and wealthiest country. The nation has established the most powerful nation in the world
