Of course, I’m not referring to human feelings, wounds, deaths, etc.
If one thinks along the lines of a businessman or politician, it’s a different picture.
US financial, political interests reigned supreme. United Nations, UN, IMF, World Bank, a number of large/global businesses, investment banks, etc., etc., just some of the many interests that came out of WWII either new or improved. The rebuilding after a war is always an enormous opportunity for profit for those who are in the rebuilding business, either from the operational or finance side. Also, USSR gained much territory and emerged a superpower. Far too many changes to list here, certainly.
A whole new world emerged out of WWII when you think about it. Us poor “little people” tend to focus on the emotional, however; it can be a real eye-opening for us to see the big picture.
“...it can be a real eye-opening for us to see the big picture.”
The “big picture” IMO, encompasses the spiritual and the psychological, world-wide. Indeed, how could it not?
The period after World Wars I and II - in fact, the entire Twentieth Century - was an era of vast and irreversible moral and spiritual shock and decline, the fallout of which we are now experiencing.
