Anyway, I do not have much else to say about World War 2 that hasn't been said a billion times before already. Just gonna say two things:

1) Luckily my country was one of the few European countries to stay neutral throughout the war. Meaning it avoided all the bloodshed and destruction of the conflict.

2) This war still affects our world to this day and will continue to do so for a while. Have we really learned from it, though? I doubt.
Same. It’s hard to really understand what this war must have like back then, as we weren’t even born until decades later. I learnt a lot about World War 2 in school from History class and my country was one of the few Euro countries able to stay neutral too. That period was called the Emergency in Ireland at the time.
