The second book in a hexalogy Turning Points of the World in 20th Century Series!

“Disaster situations make heroes out of ordinary people.” This sentence can be used with every historical event in every period. At the same time, the situations make tyrants who are condemned by people of the world. For example, during World War II, people called Allies, such as the U.S.A., U.K., France, and other countries on this side, are protagonists because they defeat the war. Of course, the winner is the one who writes history; unsurprisingly, heroes are on the Allies’ team. But, Axis Powers, such as Germany, Italy, and Japan, are judged as tyrants. History records them as who started the war. Also, Germany did something cruel during the war; people blamed them. Honestly, both the Allies and the Axis Powers started World War II, and Germany also thought there were heroes in their team. To sum up, standing from different points, we see different things.

Following many big events happening, this book is proud to present events overlapping between World War I and World War II and the other important events in 1921-1940, which make readers perceive how the world’s events go forward and change the world to be like in the present. Saengdao Publishing sincerely hopes readers are amused with learning about the historical world through the example of events in this book.
