Britain's biggest problem was not enforcing equal rights in all of their colonies nor did they make India a Domain within the empire because they wanted to exploit the populace and the land. Had they agreed to workers' wages and making India a Domain then I doubt that Gandhi would want to separate from the empire. In many occasions Britain had to provide education and food from other colonies so that the populace of India so that they wouldn't starve. But the fact that the British deprived India of the one thing that the majority of their populace wanted is the main reason. I don't think the British could ever make India fully British and niether did Gandhi see himself as an Indian national. For most of his life until the final part he willingly accepted himself as a British citizen and only demanded equal rights and the acceptance of India as an equal territory in order to fix anything that the British caused or just never repaired in that colony.
"Why do people support these far right groups", because they didn't want to be Red nor Dead. It really is about what side you choose and for the most part it was the Nazis or the Soviets. Gandhi for example did not offer any support to Britain during World War 2 as he believed that he made a mistake when he did the same in the first war. Some have even accused Gandhi of collaboration with Hitler but this has been apparently covered up by the Indian government even though their own militants, Azad Hind (also supported by Gandhi and practically covered up in order to keep Gandhi's image as likeable and purely pacific), fought for Japan and Germany at various points of their existence. But can you really blame them?
There is no good sides in a war , its all about killing people at all. There where a lot of casualties in the second world war many people suffers and many are killed specially innocents ones. About the power of a certain country in a war , we know that united states of america is the number one country to have the most power in a war. They have conquer many countries and regions in the world just to make them the most powerful country in the world. But now we do not know if united states of america will always be the most powerful country. There where many countries now that has power like the USA now.
I wonder how much the Germans in Berlin, Dresden and Nuremberg felt about how helpful being white was to not being bombed. Germany was devastated by the USAF, which had the same commander&chief as the Navy. Harry Trumans reason for dropping the bomb is very well documented; and he saved millions of lives by doing so. As far as the officers go even if they were all racists their tactics were the same as the ones used against Germany so racial inferiority was certainly not a factor unless you could provide proof that the early to mid 19th century no nothings who formed the Republican Party were reborn.
It's often hard to see it when it's happening, but there is a good side to everything, even bad things. The fact that the financial crisis of 2008 happened helped bitcoin come into existence. The ever-growing mistrust of governments is making an even more pronounced trend towards decentralization happen, putting more power into the hands of the people and making the world a less-corrupt place.
The war is murder unless it is made for the defense of the country.
None of good side in war...
I want to do everything in this world when i was a kid. I am so curious about everything. But then again when id grown up, i realize life is too short for me to fullfill my hapiness and ambitions
Nope Hellheaven is right, the objective was declared to be civilians. The Atomic Bomb was also not necessary in ending the war since the Japanese had already asked for terms but the Allies wanted total surrender. It seems to be the Soviet threat which actually caused the Japanese to surrender to the Americans rather than to fight both. But the fire bombing and atomic bombs were most likely also motivated by the "racial inferiority" of the Japanese. One reason that the Japanese did not want to surrender were the rumours and later the publications that the Americans would execute captured Japanese and so this motivated them to fight to the death, that alongside their religious and cultural ideology.
Not sure about this. War spurs innovation in war, no doubt. There was a spurt of technical innovation in WW1 and WW2, thats true. IIRC the theoretical work on fission was done in the peace of 1919-1938, ditto penecilin, ditto thinking machines, they just were applied to the battlefield in war so maybe its not as much as you'd think. The Napoleonic wars saw some innovation in military theory and practice, but once again the groundwork was pre-war: the revolution played as much a part herer, changing social and economic constraints on innovation. England developed some fancy financials in the the Napoleonic wars, and War of the Spanish Succession too. In one sense losing a war can lead to a clean slate from which to build toward the next war, so there can be a spurt of innovation (and established military can be complacent and hard to change I guess). Does losing a war spur uinnovation more than participating in one? Many allied developments were catch-ups with German and Russian onesdeveloped in the 1930's: close air support for inf, massed armour, deep operations etc. Germany and Russia were the biggest losers to survive WW1, and innovation was a marked element of their military at the time.
Those fighting might have the good sides after all they are all humans.
I don't get you how can those fighting might have the good sides ?
All soldiers in a war is good because they fight for their nation, in a war, there is no good side or bad side, there is only winner side and loser side.
Others say that Hitler decided to join the Nazi Party because he was rejected by another German right-wing party. If only Hitler had not been rejected from the Socialist Party (a party that was quite well established at that time), the possibility of world war and genocide of killing 6 million Jews would not have happened.
War always comes with shedding of blood and leaving particularly women and children stranded. No matter what might come out of the war which your may refer to as positive, I think it always comes with numerous negatives and as such should not be tolerated.
Yes no matter what kind of war and the reason for it there is nothing good will come from it
I think no one is a good side in every war.. if a war have a good side it's just what perspective you using to see that...
People often talking about how USA was the good and Japan was the evil in World War 2, but when you see the history of every country involved, you start to find hard to take sides in any conflict, even though I hate nazis I can't see the Russians or Brittish or French as the good side, those were all imperialistic countries that killed and enslaved millions of people before Hitler, and kept doing so after he was gone. I believe one the biggest reasons for Hitler's rise into power was exactly Great Britain and France foreigner politics.
Seems like we can find good things in each and every situation, but is this is really an outcome of war? Maybe. Was it worth it so many lifes, suffers and pain? I doubt it.
I think the bad side is the one who will try to achieve power an wealth at any cost. Most of the time they start the war

There is nothing good in war except disaster and chaos
For what I have heard and seen there are no good sides to any war.
Nope, there are no good sides to any war and there cannot be.
