Causes of World War II

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    This is not Johnson’s war. This is America’s war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.
