We have a lecture about America during the 20th century today. During the lecture we discuss the legacies of World War II in America. World War II has made great affects to the America in several aspects, such as economic problems, social conflicts. Among these influences, we can find out both positive and negative ones. However, it is undeniable that the benefits which America brought from World War II overweight much more than the loss which they got. There are many reasons can lead to this conclusion. One of the most important reasons is that the war did not happen on the territory of America. Therefore, America did not loss any infrastructures or facilities during the war in 1940s. On the contrary, most of the countries which were involved in the World War II almost remained nothing after the war. Their countries were broken; people who lived in the country could not support themselves with food or drink. They could not get health care because the medical system was totally destroyed by the invaders. In this case, those countries have to spend countless money and time in order to rebuild their homeland. Therefore, this is one of the significant reasons why America becomes the most powerful state over the world.
Time creates the hero, hero produces the time. Admittedly, our world needs a state to play a role as a hero to deal with the international affairs and balance the relationship among the other countries. Therefore, if the war were happened on the mainland of America, the world that we live in may get a great change and become far more different than the world which we are familiar with. Fortunately, such changes may not happen any more.
