| | World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Commonly held general causes for WWII are the rise of nationalism, the rise of militarism, and the presence of unresolved territorial issues. | | | While Gibraltar was never under direct attack, Alexandria and Malta were hit repeatedly by Axis attacks: the thrusts towards the Suez Canal for the former, and the 1940/42 Blitz for the latter, which made Malta the most heavily bombed place on earth. | | | This total includes the estimated 10 million lives lost due to the Holocaust. |

| | Second World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The term Second World has largely fallen out of use because the circumstances to which it referred largely ended with the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, and because the popularity of its sister phrase "Third World" has divided the world between rich and poor in many people's minds. | | | The term "Second world" may or may not also refer to Communist countries whose leadership were at odds with Moscow, i.e. | | | After World War II, people began to speak of the NATO and Warsaw Pact countries as two major blocs, often using such terms as the "Western bloc" and the "Eastern bloc". |

| | In addition to penning a fast-paced campaign chronicle, Keegan makes a convincing case for the prime motivations of Allied and Axis leaders, pinpoints the practical results of Allied summit conferences and defines the war's geopolitical dimensions. | | | When friends ask me what book to read to get an overall view of World War II, I recommend this book to them. | | | On another level, however, Keegan tends to be simplistic (e.g., in his discussion of the causes of World War II, in his view that the war would have come even without Hitler) and skim over many topics. |
