Two international events that changed the history of humankind were the two major wars of the last century. World War 1 was the result of imperialistic and expansionism ideas of government leaders and dictators to get more land and control over different territories. The result, besides millions of deaths, was the rising of tide immigration and the German militarism that was one of the reasons Germany armed itself so strong to start World War II.

Hitler's supremacy ideas and invasions in some regions of Europe provoke World War II that ended with the detonation of the nuclear bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. After WWII, large areas in Europe were completely destroyed. And for countries like the United States, World War II represented an opportunity to kick start again the economic growth after the terrible years of the Great Depression.
