War is not a good thing, and yet it has shaped our lives
in so many ways. World War One was the worst war eve. The
total number of military and civilians casualties in World
War One was over37 million. the total number of deaths
includes about 10 million military personnel and about 7
million civilians. At least 2 million died from diseases and 6
million went missing, presumed dead.

If war did not exist then some of the technological
breakthroughs might not have happened yet or will ever
happen.

But in world war two things were not like World War One. In
World War One it had been static trench warfare. But in
World War Two it was fast moving and mobile. With better
planes and tanks that could go faster and further than
before. While the Battle Of Britain was happening. In the
western desert (North Africa) the eighth army was trying to
stop the German commander Erwin Rommel who was trying
to get to the Suez Canal. War has shaped history and
changed lives, sometimes not for the better. Without war
things would be much different. There is only one working
Tiger tank in the world and it is at the royal tank museum in
Britain.

working Tiger Tank in
the world. It is kept in
