World War II
Vangteh also made a good record during World War II.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“The world is everything that is the case.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
