The outbreak of World War Two
World war two occurred between 1939 and 1945. It was the deadliest and the most devastating wars in our current history. There was world war one at first, which took place between 1914 and 1918, which seemed not to have settled and answered all the problems that had triggered it. After some years, another war broke out that saw many nations getting involved. The fighting mostly took an enormous stage in Europe and Japan and immensely changed the world. The leading causes of world war two were the failure of the League of Nations, which was formed primarily to ensure no outbreak of another war. The Treaty of Versailles that led to the end of world war, one in which Germany and all her Allied forces lost the battle led to hostilities among nations. Germany felt that the treaty was working against them as the agreement demanded that Germany to pay an incredible amount of money to the countries who had suffered the aftermath of war. It resulted in agitation where Germany felt they had spent a tremendous amount of money. .Boyce Robert, The Origins of World War Two: The Debate Continues,( Macmillan International Higher Education,2003), pg. 6.
The outbreak of world war two led to the transformation of the world because it led to the advancement in the technology, emergence of superpower nations, and formation of peacekeeping bodies, the participation of women in the workforce, collapse of empires and onset of the cold war.
The war had some essential indirect effect on women. Many women were considered during employment. .Goldin Claudia, “The role of World War II in the rise of women’s employment.” ( The American Economic Review,1991), pg. 741-756
Goldin Claudia attests to this in the book, “The role of World War II in the rise of women’s employment.”
The proportion of married women engaged in paid work in the United States Increased more than tenfold during the past century from less than 5% in 1890 to more than 60% in 1990. Much of the increased employment occurred in the years after 1940. The timing of the initial advance in married women’s employment and extensive propaganda used to attract women into the labor force during the war have led many to credit world war two with spurring the modern increase in married women’s paid employment.
