                                    Wars are occured because of conquering the world and with the aim of exploiting resources of other countries. Some time dominance is the aim spread of ism or ideology is also preceding to wars.<\/p>\n

                                    In olden days, if there was a war, only those participating in the war would die, but nowadays very dangerous, poisonous weapons are available. Ordinary civilians also die. In 1945 what ‘ happened In Hiroshima and Nagasaki of Japan. Still some people are facing the consequences.<\/p>\n

                                            \nImperialism created much stress often leading to wars – Explain.
                                            \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

                                              \n
                                            1. As industrial capital developed in the European countries like Britain, Germany and US, they needed Markets for their products and access to raw materials.<\/li>\n
                                            2. As capital further accumulated in Banks and financial institutions, they looked for safe investment opportunities in colonies.<\/li>\n
                                            3. Thus by the end ofthe 19th century there was a race for colonies between the European powers.<\/li>\n
                                            4. The governments of these countries acted on behalf of their capitalists to increase their areas of influence and reduce the area under their competitors.<\/li>\n
                                            5. As new industrial powers (like Japan, Germany and Italy) emerged they wanted to re-divide the colonies but the old powers were not ready for this.<\/li>\n
                                            6. This created much stress often leading to wars.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                \n
                                              1. Militarism is the belief that military might is the best way to ensure security and war is good way to solve problems.<\/li>\n
                                              2. From 1880 to 1914, the military expenditure of the six big powers increased by over 300%.<\/li>\n
                                              3. Three things are noteworthy in the context of militarism. Each of these countries built massive standing armies, competed with each other in increasing their armaments and built a mindset among the people to support wars.<\/li>\n
                                              4. Large industrial complex producing arms emerged which constantly promoted the idea of using war as a solution to diplomatic problems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                \nEven though it showed a lot of promise and much was expected of it, it failed eventually to prevent Germany and Italy from violating international agreements and attacking other countries. So the World War – II emerged. Hence we can say League of Nations was failed.<\/p>\n

                                                \nDuring the First World War, on the demand of their subjects, the colonialists accepted the principle that self-government is desirable in colonies. With the process of decolonization, after World War II, the colonies rose to independence and hundreds of new countries were born across Asia and Africa.<\/p>\n

Beginning with the confidence of being bread winners, women began raising their voice for equality in all walks of life. Getting the right to vote was a big step in that direction.<\/p>\n

                                                \nThe immediate provocation for World War II was the German tanks driving into Poland on September 1,1939. Hitler invaded Poland as punishment for refusing to hand over the port of Danzig to Germany. Polish territory lay between two parts of Germany.
