Up to a point the Second German War resembled the first.
Each began with a German
bid for power which almost succeeded in spite of the opposition of France and Great
Britain. In each the United States came to the rescue after year of neutrality. Each
ended with a German defeat. But the differences were easier to see than the
resemblances. The powers were differently grouped: Italy and Japan were on the
German side, Russia was neutral until the Germans attacked across what had been, to
begin with, Poland and Baltic States. The second war lasted even longer than the other.
It pressed harder on the civilian population. After a period of restraint, perhaps, intended
to conciliate American opinion, both sides dropped bombs from the air, without respect
for the nature of the targets, wherever the officers concerned expected to cause the
greatest effect. In Great Britain 60,000 civilians were killed. Though the Island was not
invaded, the population was more directly involved than it was in any former war.
Children and others were evacuated from towns into the country. Food supplies ran so
short that, at the worst, even potatoes were rationed. Of all the states opposed to
Germany, Great Britain was the only one which fought throughout the war. The
resources of the nation were concentrated in the war effort more completely than those
of any other nation on either side. Labour for women as well as men, became
compulsory. Nevertheless, once the war reached its full severity in the west, eight
months after it was declared, there was less disunion between classes and interests than
in any other five years within living memory. Fighting spread all over the world. The
Pacific was as vital a theatre as Europe. Scientists, especially Physicists, made
revolutionary discoveries during the war, not only in the fields of weapons and defence
against them, but in supply, transport, and control in action. Strange to say the fight
services suffered fewer casualties than in 1914-18: 300,000 of the armed forces and
35,000 of the navy were killed. There was nothing like the trench warfare of former war,
though there was almost every other sort of warfare, from mechanized war of movement
in the North African desert to hand to hand jungle fighting in Burma. Both sides
experimented and built up stocks for gas warfare and biological warfare, but neither side
used them.

First and second german wars were fought for lust of power, France and Great britain
were against but america saved Germany.
But the differences were easier to see than the resemblances. The powers were
differently grouped: Italy and Japan were on the German side, Russia was neutral until
the Germans attacked across what had been, to begin with, Poland and Baltic States.
The second war lasted even longer than the other.
But Italy and japan were with Germany, Russia went againt when germans attacked
Poland and Baltic sea. 2nd war was longer than 1st.

Despite american efforts for peace, both sides dropped bombs on civilian population
causing great damage.
Though the Island was not invaded, the population was more directly involved than it
was in any former war. Children and others were evacuated from towns into the country.
Food supplies ran so short that, at the worst, even potatoes were rationed.
Although island was not attacked but food shortage and migration towards centre
effected civil population in this war.
Of all the states opposed to Germany, Great Britain was the only one which fought
throughout the war. The resources of the nation were concentrated in the war effort
more completely than those of any other nation on either side. Labour for women as well
as men, became compulsory.
From all opposing states Great Britian fought against germany. Thus more Britian’s
resources were used in war than any other nation.
Nevertheless, once the war reached its full severity in the west, eight months after it
was declared, there was less disunion between classes and interests than in any other
five years within living memory. Fighting spread all over the world. The Pacific was as

discoveries during the war, not only in the fields of weapons and defence against them,
but in supply, transport, and control in action.
This war make western society united. War was global but Pecific ocean was important in
war. Scientist made remarkable discoveries in defence and other related areas.

300000 armed forces and 3500 of navy were killed which were less than in 1914-18.
War was fought in every fashion, from mechanized in North Africa to primitive warfare in
Burma. No chemical and biological weapons was used from both sides.
Motive of both first and second German wars was power, France and Great britain were
against but America saved Germany in both. But in 2nd war Italy and japan were with
Germany, Russia first was neutral then went against when Germans attacked Poland and
Baltic sea. 2nd war was longer than 1st. Despite american efforts for peace, both sides
dropped bombs on civilian population causing great damage. Although island was not
attacked but food shortage and migration towards centre effected civil population in this
war. From all opposing states Great Britian fought against germany which caused
economic crisis in Britian. 300000 armed forces and 3500 of navy were killed which were
less than 1914-18. War was fought in every fashion, from mechanized in North Africa to
primitive warfare in Burma. No chemical and biological weapons was used from both
sides.
First and second German wars were identical because Germany intended to get power.
France and Great Britian were against and America saved Germany in both [Link]
was neutral for first year and Germany was defeated in both wars. Differece between
these wars was in grouping of powers. In 2nd war Italy and Japan were with Germany,
Russia was neutral at first but went against after Germans attack Poland and Baltic sea.
2nd war was longer than 1st war.
Despite of Americans efforts to mediate both parties air striked on civil populations
resulting in great damage. Island was not attacked but shortage of food suplies and
migration towards centre effected population in this war. This war made western society
united. War was global but Pecific ocean was important in war. Scientist made
remarkable discoveries in defence and other related areas.
