When my parents were younger, there was a great war, one that was said to be the war that would end all wars, but it most certainly wasn't. My father joined the British army once the next war began, less than a decade ago, for me. I had some small semblance of hope that, perhaps this time, there would be no more after, particularly after the victory of the Allies a few years ago; however, I've been researching events I've missed in the twentieth century, and I see that this is far from the case. I'm not entirely sure how to process all the events that have occurred.
