I've spent hours trolling on Wikipedia reading about WWII related articles and just branching off from the main topics into little sub-areas. It's such an interesting (but dark) period of human history.<br /><br />I do wonder as well how atrocities like those that were committed were brought about. What was the thought process? How was that possibly justified in peoples minds? I mean the war crimes that were committed... seriously, what the actual f*ck. I read about Nanking. Parts of that little saga in history were literally hard to read, much less comprehend.<br /><br />As much as we can learn from what happened and how to avoid such events, I think it's a sad fact of life that there will always be conflict between humans. Even now. It's ridiculous to think about, that after so long some people still haven't risen above it.<br /><br />There's this quote from Friedrich Hegel that sums it up:<br />"The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history."<br /><br />Sad, but true, apparently.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133073584012707168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885272557817480838.post-49469470768173540332012-04-12T10:33:08.078-04:002012-04-12T10:33:08.078-04:00I love learning about WWII, it's like a great ...I love learning about WWII, it's like a great novel, showing how brutal the world becomes when corruption gets to the top..Teenage Blogger Central Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045365735401145034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885272557817480838.post-14786623458698423612012-04-12T04:18:11.315-04:002012-04-12T04:18:11.315-04:00I loved learning about WWII as well, it always fas...I loved learning about WWII as well, it always fascinated me at school so you're not alone!Miss Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758016594265555571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885272557817480838.post-19768984805095568762012-04-12T04:08:11.726-04:002012-04-12T04:08:11.726-04:00What a brilliant post.

I find people who are passionate about things really interesting and I love reading things when the person writing it is clearly passionate about it.<br /><br />I love History and although I don't love WWII I do find it interesting. And the way you write about it is amazing.Izzy Hilliardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572347044877006029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885272557817480838.post-55639797241246980032012-04-12T00:07:42.202-04:002012-04-12T00:07:42.202-04:00WWII fascinates me too.

It had been under Dutch colonization for about 300 years but because of WWII, the Japanese invaded and occupied the land, thus ending the Dutch rule. And it kind of sparked nationalism and fueled the independence movement. Sometime later the Dutch tried to reestablish its rule but failed to do so and officially considered the country independent. <br /><br />I'm also curious to know more about Hitler. My psych class touched on the psychological aspect of the Holocaust, like the Stanley Milgram experiment on obedience to authority. But there are still questions that remain unanswered. I don't think the things we learn will fully explain everything. Some things will remain unexplainable and intricate, I guess.<br /><br />Okay, enough of this babbling. But I would like to say that I definitely do not see you in a negative light for your love of WWII. I think it's really cool that you're interested in it and take the initiative to learn more for personal reasons, haha. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274408024145068372noreply@blogger.com
