The post–World War II economic expansion, also known as the postwar economic boom, the long boom, and the Golden Age of Capitalism, was a period of economic prosperity in the mid-20th century which occurred, following the end of World War II in 1945, and lasted until the early 1970s. It ended with the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971, the 1973 oil crisis, and the 1973–1974 stock market crash, which led to the 1970s recession.

...of the most tragic and brutal time during the World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Jews were targeted and precisely murdered in the largest genocide of the 20th century. What started this horrific massacre was the notorious Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany. After the start of World War II, Hitler the chancellor of Germany created a policy known as the “Final Solution.” From the Nuremberg Laws in 1935 to Kristallnacht in 1938, Hitler slowly removed Jews from German society. However, the Nazis created an elaborate and intensive system to work Jews to forced labor under brutal conditions. From the concentration camps created by the Nazi, forced labor was futile and destructive. The concentration camp forced the Jews to perish without proper equipment, clothing, nourishment, or rest. Because Adolf Hitler devised the Final Solution to eradicate Europeans Jews, more than one million Jews, labored and perish in Auschwitz, a Nazi concentration camp. Like what Fidel Castro said “There is nothing that compares to the Holocaust.” After the start of World War II, the anti-Jewish law enforcers came up with a plan to dispose of European Jewry. To mask the true meaning behind their destruction, the Nazi Germany used certain language to disguise it. The meaning of the “Final Solution” means to annihilate the Jewish people. After Hitler’s rule of eradicating and segregation of Jews was applied, the “Final Solution” was set in stages. In 1933, when the Nazi Germany...
