Cost to World Stability
The U.S. & the U.S.S.R.
Emerged as the Two Superpowers
of the later 20c
The Bi-Polarization of Europe:
The Beginning of the Cold War
Allied with USA
Allied with USSR
Other countries
The Division of Germany:
1945 - 1990
The Creation of the U. N.
The United Nations is
Created to do Three
Things:
•Peacefully solve problems
between countries
•End Colonialism and
make new countries out of
old colonies
•Put war leaders on trial for
atrocities
Cost to Moral Decency
The Nuremberg War Trials:
Crimes Against Humanity
Nazis are put on
trial for the new
crime of “Crimes
against Humanity”
All but one Nazi
leader swear they
were in the right
until the bitter end.
Japanese War Crimes Trials
General
Hideki
Tojo
Japanese military is also put on trial in Tokyo. Very few
Japanese military leaders are convicted, though ample
evidence of atrocities in Burma, Philippines and China are
documented and presented.
Japanese later deny all these claims and remove them from
their history books.
Why would the world need the
United Nations to play referee
and handle international
disputes and trials?
