Epoch 4

History is mostly studied, by the people from the generation after the event happened.  Like the people who lived when there was WWII they didn't study it.  It's the generation or two after it.  Some of the major ones from that time period really shaped what happened in history next.  Also what people lived in and damage one and another people did.  Which is the Holocaust, Cold War, and the rise of Bin Laden.

For the Holocaust almost every body that lived at that time period did something bad or the country they lived in damaged others.  Most of that happened from only one person, that really changed the world forever Adolf Hitler, and Benito Mussolini from their disruptive miltary.  Also the Americans dropping two Atomic bombs that changed the furture and the way people see things.  Second, how the people viewed the world as a less safe place after the droppings.  I feel like this epoch wasn't a time were people were happy.  I wouldn't want to be alive at this time in history.  But I think it is amazing for people to say that they survived the Holocaust or that they fought for a country.  Also knowing that my family in Europe was crashed from the rise of Hitler and many of them died in the Holocaust.  I feel like something good happend that epoch too but when you look at the big piture all you can see is the nasty things that happened that epoch.

When Africa was trying to get better the people with a lot of more power put two ethnic groups that don't get along.  Why would they do that?  Also that happened after World War II, and wouldnt the people see the world different?  Third, they don't want there to be a World War III and if they were given a chance to make the world a better wouldn't they take that offer.  Why make something bad when you can make it better?  These questions came to mind when I was reading Epoch four.  I don't even know how to answer them but they are so important.  They drove what happened later on like Darfor and other things too.  These things that happened have shaped the world since the events.  People think that something small won't be carried with people like 30 years later but everything gets carried.  Something gets left out in history, when the next generation learns about it.  We tell history and that's why it's so important.
