Beginings of WWII

The question of when and why World War II began has been a passionate debate for years on end.Many have argued that it was basically a continuation of the First World War witch ended November 11th 1918. Although WWII didn't start until 1939, some say the aggression towards the war started when Japan seized Manchuria fro china. other causes were most definatley Italy's invasion and defeat of Abyssinia, and Adolf Hitler's re-militarization of Germany.

The two dates that often come to mind wen Wold War II is mentioned are July 7th 1937 and September 1st 1939. These dates go back to when a prolonged war between China and Japan and when Germany invaded Poland, which eventually lead to Britain and France declaring war on Hitler's Nazi state in relation. 

Multiple nations were at war with each other fighting for their allies, and or the Axis.

The Effects of the Prohibition

Prohibition changed the society from 1920 until 1933. This was due to the fact that people who were religious saw alcohol it as the "Devil's Drink", and they didn't want people to die from it. The manufacturing, sale, and the transportation of any alcoholic beverage was band. Many countries and the United States adopted it in 1920. Citizens did not agree with the new law and they started  drinking illegally. This lead to people called bootleggers to bring  alcohol illegally into the United States.They created the speakeasies, who were the ones who brought the alcohol and sold it to illegal stores and nightclubs. Here, people that wished to consume alcohol would go to do so. People tried to keep it a secret because if the police found out about the illegally consumption and distribution or the alcohol they would confiscate it and people would get arrested and fined . People were tired of this so they started marching on the street for the Prohibition to be repealed. It was repealed in 1933.
