November 1918: All Quiet on the Western Front and everyone breathes a sigh of relief that The Great War has ended. The sigh of relief is justified: more than ten million soldiers were killed over the course of the four-year war (more soldiers died than quite a few countries had people), in addition to more-than-seven million civilian deaths and uncounted numbers of civilian and military wounded. These catastrophic death tolls resulted from military technology outstripping military thinking, and the application of 19th-century tactics to 20th-century weapons resulted in trench warfare and battles on the Western front which we

  • Many cartoon and comics characters in times like these lead an existence separate from such worldly events, or remain outside participants. This was the case with Popeye in the comics, however, it was decided by Fleischer Studios that their animated version should actively participate in the then-mounting conflict and, as a sailor, he was made to join the ranks of the U. S. Navy, don the white Navy uniform and be posted on a battleship. Bluto would follow suit and, as Famous Studios retained this setup, a new character named Shorty was introduced as a Navy fellow. Many animated shorts still adhered to the classic comedy formula with the characters off-duty, but others like You're a Sap, Mr. Jap had Popeye in combat against the caricatured Japanese.
  • Unlike most sequels, World War II is commonly recognized as having been way more awesome than World War I, kind of like how Empire Strikes Back is better than A New Hope, but not quite as good as World War III (AKA Return Of The Colbert... coming soon).

  • The Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler began to undergo power in 1919, and it started off with him joining the German Workers' Party. It was then renamed to the National Socialist German Workers' Party, or more commonly known as Nazi Party. In the 1920s, the Nazis had already latched onto the very weak political government of Germany, making them able to express their ideals easier. As the years went on, Hitler rallied more and more people to join on his side, as he would "lead them to a better life". Germany after WWI was devastated by debt, which was worse than the United States.This made it even easier for Hitler to gain power. By the early 1930s, the Nazis had become the largest party in Germany.
  • On the day of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Michael Corleone volunteered for the Marine Corps against his father's wishes. Michael was sent to fight in the Pacific and took part in the battles of Guadalcanal and Peleliu. For his bravery in battle, Michael was awarded the Navy Cross and was also featured in Life Magazine. When Michael Corleone was discharged in early 1945 to recover from a disabling wound, he had no idea that his father had arranged his release.
  • World War II, also known as the Second World War or WWII for short, was an Earth-wide conflict, lasting between 1939 and 1945 and resulting in the death of some estimated 60 million people, making it the deadliest conflict humanity had seen in its history to that point. Until World War III, World War II was the most widespread war Earth had ever seen, with over 100 million soldiers from 61 nations participating in battles over 20 million square kilometers of the planet's surface. Many atrocities occurred during this war, including the Holocaust.
  • World War 2? Oh, that thing. It all started when this German guy named Hitler said "Kill de Jews!" and all his German Nazis started killing Jews and such. (What's the such for?) Now you're probably wondering why the heck countries such as The United States and England or Russia, or Poland, or China, or Italy, or, Canada?, or even Japan was in this war. I would say, "I dunno" if I was stupid but I say "I do not know" because I am smart. Well, lemme tell you the last 4 years of the war in about a paragraph. Eh hem.
