The First World War (WWI) was fought from 1914 to 1918 and the Second World War (or WWII) was fought from 1939 to 1945. They were the largest military conflicts in human history. Both wars involved military alliances between different groups of countries.
World War I (a.k.a the First World War, the Great War, the War To End All Wars) was centered on Europe. The world warring nations were divided into two groups namely ‘The Central Powers’ and ‘The Allied Powers’. The central powers group consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. The Allied powers group consisted of France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and (from 1917) the U.S.
World War II (a.k.a the Second World War), the opposing alliances are now referred to as ‘The Axis’ and ‘The Allies’. The Axis group consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allies group consisted of France, Britain, the U.S., the Soviet Union, and China. World War II was especially heinous because of the genocide of Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis.
In a historic ruling handed down on June 27, 2013, the Supreme Court declared that Section 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional and that the federal government cannot discriminate against married lesbian and homosexual couples when deciding federal benefits and protections.
<h3>What is the United States v. Windsor case?</h3>
A significant same-sex marriage civil rights case heard by the US Supreme Court was Windsor, 570 U.S. 744 (2013). The Defense of Marriage Act's (DOMA) Section 3 was found to be in violation of the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause because it forbade the federal government from recognizing same-sex unions.
Asserting that Windsor compensated her for her harm in the lower court and that there was no debate because the Government-backed her claim, Justice Scalia dissented in concurrence with Justice Thomas and Chief Justice Roberts.
