The troubling part of studying history is that you see patterns and those patterns make the times we presently live in similar to 1929 to 1945 once again. Why is this happening? I would say it is happening simply because all the people who learned the lessons of 1929 to 1945 are mostly dead so they cannot speak to us anymore even though we could read their writings or see their videos. However, we are repeating the same mistakes that killed 65 to 85 million people before once again.
How many will have to die this time; I Billion or more?
Or will people figure out what they are doing and go some other way than wiping most of humanity off the planet completely?
World War II caused an estimated 70 to 85 million deaths,
making it the deadliest conflict in history, with civilian fatalities
accounting for the majority of these losses. The Soviet Union
experienced the highest number of casualties, with its civilian and
military death toll estimated at over 25 million people. Civilian deaths
were often a result of widespread bombing campaigns, starvation, and
genocidal policies, including the Holocaust, which killed approximately 6
million Jews.
