ReflectionThe Second World War is considered the deadliest and most widespread conflict ever to occur in human history, with more than 50 million deaths and millions of people displaced. It is the largest armed clash in human history, affecting the entire world and involving more nations than ever before. The war is believed to have started in early September 1939 and ended early in the same month in 1945. Until now, there has never been a clear understanding about the exact cause of World War II, but some believe that Adolf Hitler's implementation may have been the main cause. It must be said that the Second World War was generally caused by territorial ambitions, mainly in Africa. World War II appears to have created an unprecedented danger for human evolution and directed the movement toward one of Wilson's visions of forming an international organization to campaign for peace. Efforts toward this vision were seen well before the end of the war. More than 51 nations were represented at a June 1945 meeting in San Francisco, the founding conference that paved the way for the formal formation of the United Nations in October 1945. The United Nations, unlike the League of Nations, was different in the sense that they were composed of and had the full leadership and support of the Soviet Union, the United States, and many other powerful nations of the world. This was the time when the world community could at least be said to welcome a new period of international cooperation (O'Brien et al 1995). Early 1944 saw representatives of the major economic powers come together to build what is now the International Monetary Fund. with the agreement on the international tariff parameter called GATT.

The days of conflict provided the background for the art that is preserved and displayed in institutions such as museums today. Iconic memorials used during conflicts are now seen as symbols of tribute (Biesen, 2005). Reference Biesen, SC (2005). Blackout: World War II and the origins of film noir.
