World of Wars part 1

It's the year 2011, the world has witnessed two major wars namely World War I and World War II; and still we're fighting.


In the 66 years that passed since WWII, ""conflicts"" have popped up all over the place.


In 1948 the Korean Conflict starts as WWII ends, Japan gives up their rule of Korea and a country gets divided into North and South ending up in the Korean War from 1950-1953. The North being supported by China and the Soviet Union, while the South had the backing of the United Nations and the USA. Now in 2011, 58 years and millions of casualties/fatalities later, they're still fighting.


In 1948 after gaining independence from the United Kingdom, the Internal Conflict in Burma starts. Ethnic groups fight against Military Regimes and Human Rights violations. Buddhism becomes the official religion of the country and increases persecution of the Rohingya people. Still toda, after 63years and approximately 501,000 killed the Burmese government bullies it's people into joining their military government, as a result many are fleeing to refugee camps in Thailand and Bangladesh and other countries in the region.


Still in 1948 the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict starts as a result of the Arab–Israeli Conflict, which too is ongoing. Jews and Palestinians fight over everything from mutual recognition to basic Human Rights. Slowly Israel has moved in on Palestinian land and have divided the land with borders and compounds so that Palestinians need to pass border/check points to get to work, school, hospital, and all other basic necessities. The Israel-Palestinian Conflict is similar to the Apartheid Era of South Africa. Now in 2011, October 31,  Palestine becomes a member of UNESCO and the USA withholds funding.


Next is the year 1953...


Stay tuned...
