The Price of Victory (Blog #30)




After years of struggle and sacrifice, World War II ended in victory for the Allies. But the price was high. The toll in lives and property was without precedent. Most alarming was the knowledge fully revealed only after the defeat of Germany that Hitler had tried to exterminate all the Jews of Europe. Along with peace came many uncertainties about the future.

    2.)Alot of countries were completly destroyed and poor. Their economy was shot as they struggled to rebuild. The only country that the war actually benefited the economy was the United States, because the war pulled us out of the depression.

  15. 1) Some of the costs of the war included the number of civilian and combatant personell. Europe and Japan were destroyed nearly completely. Many historic buildings had been destroyed. Along with tons of artwork was missing or destroyed after the Nazis plundered every country they invaded.
