The Effects of the Winter War (Oct 1939- May 1940) On Germany

The Second World War was a series of attacks and world wide battle because it affected not only the European continent but all others, Africa included.  The war lasted between 1939 to 1945.  To narrow down the war description to the winter war in Germany, which started on the 1st September 1939 this war had adverse effects to Germany. The war is said to have started by the Germanys attack to Poland.  In that instance, France and other commonwealth nations decided to fight back Germany by providing the Poland military support although it was not enough force to hit Germany.

A declaration was signed among the Soviet states, Japan and German resulting to the split of the Poland among themselves as from the 17th September 1939.  However, Poland did not surrender officially.  Several attacks started at different areas and soon this became a global fight. 
Some of the most known imparts of the war included the massive deaths that claimed many millions of peoples lives about 30 million people died at this region.  The creation of the Nazi Germans concentration camps caused further killing and mistreatment of the detained especially the Romans, and other faith groups that were targeted by the Germans.  They were subjected to forced labour to help recover the degraded Germany economic state. 

More deaths of citizens were found in the countries were these concentration camps were situated, for example, the Germany war prisoners. The war claimed nearly 70 million lives in the world.  It was called the war of extermination by scholars due to the mass death.

The Germany partitioned as a result and the Soviet Union was found to grow stronger in their military forces where their industrial development lead to them being a superpower. Another impact was the ideological changes that existed after the war.  Destruction on infrastructure was also witnessed. This ranged from partial to total destruction of more than 1,710 towns and cities, numerous villages and uncountable churches, schools, hospitals among others. Transport systems were almost denatured all over the region.  Wild animals and domestic animals were neither spared.  Economic decline in Germany was just too high to be estimated.

The aftermath of the WWII, had numerous implications.  The war left many people landless and homeless while majority others were devoured.  The war recorded the world largest loss of life. Germany, was left divided into four subsections, that were ruled by its allay powers the U.S., France, Soviet Union, and Great Britain.

The war can be implicated to have caused the existence of border conflicts that have now existed for long in most nations as well as continents.  The formation of the welfare States of the United Kingdom, the communism in china, and Eastern Europe are also the war result.  More so, the formation of Israel and the Vietnam can also be traced back from the wars implications. Generally, the formation of most world wide and regional organizations such as the U.N, World trade organization and World Bank among others is an implication of the WWII.

Development in technology for example the nuclear vision, jet engine, and computer development are also evidenced to have started or triggered by its effects. Finally, the US and the Soviet Unions were dominated as the superpowers and are often up to date rivals in economics, technology as well as inventions of varied natures.
