This Middle East countries like Iraq,were born after the WWI.Other countries in this area still are in huge conflicts today;some of them boycotted US backing Israel,and in 1973 raised the price of oil. "War brews war". The defeat of Germany in this Great War,and the rudeness of the Versailles Treaty impositions,made up for the vengeance attitude in Deutchland,and its military empowerment which ended in WWII.

Hitler at this time was already commited to opening a second front in the east which would have put him in a similar situation as in WW1. However this would have most likely resualted in American intervention to liberate the isles well before they would be completly over run. This would most certainly have extended the legth of the war dramaticly but it wouldnt have changed the end result.

There maybe no world wars, but you could contribute that to the UN being fomed as much as the A bomb . Wars are going to happen regardless, just like a fight over a girl bewteen blokes, its not going to stop in so many countrys the A bomb has had no impact on a persons or persons life, how could it have the most impact of the 20th I am sorry, but i disaree, many civil wars are happening as we speak and the atomic bomb had no affect on many a war or wars since it's use.

Seen and loved now as symbol of freedom, hated and rightfully considered dangerous at the time of conception. Only to be loud and dirty, a burden of infrastructure funding globally and a reason for wars seeking control of oil demand. O, what an impact it has had socially on the worlds population, most people now do not even consume alcohol because they fear they may feel or have the need to drive somewhere, they drink coffee instead. Its not freedom to me and i consider it to be the life changing event in the 20th. The introduction of mass production of the Petrol / Gasoline powered motor vehicle.
