Answer:
After the Holocaust, the world vowed to never again permit the crime of genocide. In the many decades since, genocide and mass violence have played out again, and again.
The major causes of World War II were numerous. They include the impact of the Treaty of Versailles following WWI, the worldwide economic depression, failure of appeasement, the rise of militarism in Germany and Japan, and the failure of the League of Nations. Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939 drove Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany, marking the beginning of World War II. Over the next six years, the conflict would take more lives and destroy more land and property around the globe than any previous war. Many Americans volunteered to defend the nation from enemy bombing or invasion. They trained in first aid, aircraft spotting, bomb removal, and fire fighting. Air raid wardens led practice drills, including blackouts. By mid-1942 over 10 million Americans were civil defense volunteers.
The New Deal restored a sense of security as it put people back to work. It created the framework for a regulatory state that could protect the interests of all Americans, rich and poor, and thereby help the business system work in more productive ways.
I suppose you are referring to the version of the subject painted by Jusepe de Ribera, a Spanish painter working in the 17th century. This painting was created in 1639 in the Baroque style (or movement). It depicts the moment when the apostle Philip is about to be crucified. The contrast of light and shadow, the monumental figures, and the dramatic topic are all characteristics of the Baroque style. The painting was commissioned as a gift to the then King of Spain, Philip IV, whose patron saint was Philip the Apostle.
