Abstract
World War II was an even worse disaster for the world in terms of loss of life and material destruction than World War I. Many more people were killed as a result of the hostilities. The increased destructiveness of the weapons used, particularly those involved with aerial bombardment, caused far more damage to roads, railways, houses and factories.
‘No nation was ever ruined by trade.’
Benjamin Franklin
