Epoch 4

Lastly, we are given Epoch 4, which can be signified in one question. " How does the economy affect society?" This can be recognized by during the Cold War, where the US and the USSR competed in an arms race to determine global supremacy. They built an immense amount of missiles in order to prove they had more power, no matter what cost. Just launching those nuclear weapons meant the end of the world as we know it. The solution had taken much time to solve, until in 1991, when the Soviet Union had fallen. The cause for this cold war had been World War 2. Each country that had been involved had just came out of their own depression, which changed each country in a negative way. having the war would be having glory. In Germany, Nazism increased due to their leader, Adolf Hitler. He had them believe they should conquer what was theirs after what happened in World War 1. After gaining most of Europe, they were close in conquering the world because of Hitlers influence, with the belief of an Aryan race. they had almost vanished the whole Jewish race with their belief of anti semitism, having a great impact in history. Additionally, Japan had came out of the depression with their new leader, Hirohito, and began with conquering most of Asia, sharing Germany's belief in domination. Additionally, Benito Mussolini became leader in Italy, expressing fascism, and with that was able to create a large empire, and an alliance with Germany and Japan, known as the Axis Powers. Economy left countries only in need of conquering and gaining power, just like the USA desired in both of these wars.
