History is not always pessimistic for if World War II Europe has taught us anything it is that the rebuilding of cities is possible and the mending of a nation’s spirit can be achieved.

About This Quote

World War II was a very tragic period of history, but it can also be looked at as a positive experience. It was a time in the 20th century when the world came together in an attempt to help each other survive. During World War II, people across Europe were forced to work together and form alliances to help fight off the Nazis and their allies. After the war, cities in Germany and Japan were rebuilt and there was a great focus on cooperation and unity in these areas. This is an example of how war can inspire people to work in peace to rebuild what has been destroyed in order for peace and prosperity to continue in that part of the world.
