Legacy
A country was left in ruins, with a shattered economy and people in despair, which allowed for a charismatic leader to achieve absolute power. This ambitious leader, whose genius built a great military, ruthlessly invaded his neighboring country.
He had gambled that other nations would not intervene with his plans for
conquest, but the invasion of Poland started World War II. This global war that
lasted six years, killed more people, destroyed more property and disrupted more
lives than any other war.
When WWII ended in 1945, 51 countries formed the United Nations, an organization
committed to work for a safer world. The UN charter is to keep international
peace, to help destabilized nations and to work at preventing future events that
could lead to global conflicted.
