6. TIME LINE
7. Cont
France,theUnited Kingdom, and the United States had attained their
wartime objectives. They had reduced Germany to a military cipher
and had reorganized Europe and the world as they saw fit. The
French and the British frequently disagreed on policy in the
postwar period, however, and were unsure of their ability to defend
the peace settlement. The United States, disillusioned by the
Europeans failure to repay their war debts, retreated into
isolationism.
8. THE MATTER OF FACT
TheUnitedStatesspent the most money on the war, an estimated $341
billion, including $50 billion for lend-lease supplies, of which
$31 billion went to Britain, $11 billion to the Soviet Union, $5
billion to China, and $3 billion to 35 other countries. Germany was
next, with $272 billion; followed by the Soviet Union, $192
billion; and then Britain, $120 billion; Italy, $94 billion; and
Japan, $56 billion
9. ECONOMIC IMPACT
10. Cont..
Except for the United States, however, and some of the less
militarily active Allies, the money spent does not come close to
being the wars true cost. The Soviet government has calculated that
the USSR lost 30 percent of its national wealth, while Nazi
exactions and looting were of incalculable amounts in the occupied
countries
11. A REAL PICTURE.
12. Cont
13. HUMAN LOSSES
14. THE UGLY TRUTH.
. Most experts estimate the military and civilian losses of Allied
forces at 44 million and those of the Axis at 11 million. The total
number of civilian losses includes the 5.6 million to 5.9 million
Jews who were killed in the Holocaust
Of all the nations that participated in World War II, the human
cost of the war fell heaviest on the USSR, for which the official
total, military and civilian, is given as more than 20 million
killed
The United States, which had no significant civilian losses,
sustained more than 400,000 deaths
15. BEGENING OF AN END
On December7, 1941 just before 8am, the Japanese raid on Pearl
Harbor was one of the great defining moments in history
On August 6, 1945, the city of Hiroshima was the target of the
first atomic bomb used against civil population in history.
Three days later, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb
over the city of Nagasaki. In total, about one fourth of a million
people were killed by the two bombs.

17. RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation, as a group after preparing this report, through the
course of which we went through the various study materials on
WW-II, we have realized the following:
Such wars are devastating for the man kind, as they impact each one
on an individual ground, apart from the huge macro effects.
All the countries irrespective of there political and economic
powers should take a clear stand against the usage of nuclear
weapons.
A clear treaty at international level should be formulated stating
that going to war should be kept as the last option amongst the
counties involved in different kind of tussles.
Human lifes are of paramount importance and any situation leading
to a mass destruction of human lives should be avoided, let there
be peace.
18. LEARNING AND EXPERIENCE
Working as a team on such interesting topics is always and huge
learning experience with lot of fun involved, to pen down a few
major learning and experience after completing this exercise is as
follows:
The rigorous reading on the economic impact of the WW II gave us a
different outlook to the whole economic fundamental all
together.
Analyzing the contents as per the requirements of the project
title.
Distribution of work according to each individuals potential in the
team.
Penning down a proper road map for completion of the
activity.
