World War 2: The War That Changed Humanity

From local interacting communities to global technology - enabled individualism.

About this book

World War 2 was more than a conflict of nations and epic battles; it was a turning point that fundamentally altered the course of human interaction. This transformative period in history saw the rapid development of groundbreaking technologies like rocket science and jet engine propulsion, shifting the world from local community-focused lifestyles to a global, technology-driven society. It also marked a pivotal change in societal focus, moving from individual responsibility to a broader emphasis on human rights.

World War 2: The War that Changed Humanity delves into this seismic shift against the dramatic backdrop of some of the war's most crucial battles, including Operation Market Garden and Operation Veritable. The book offers an insightful review of these foundational changes, exploring how the war not only reshaped the geopolitical landscape but also redefined humanity's social and technological trajectory.
