The occurrence of the Second World War could really be termed as a continuation of the First World War . The important events after the WWI had really impacted and eventually caused the insurgence of another world war . It is noteworthy to say this early that since the beginning of ancient civilizations until the two world wars and the subsequent world events up to this contemporary period the root of all the conflicts is no other than
