World peace is a tempting prospect, but this requires big changes at the international level. And perhaps this still seems utopian. However, nothing prevents us from imagining a world without wars in order to understand what we can strive for.
Instruction manual
1
If there were no wars and huge casualties, today on Earth would live a huge number of people, the descendants of the dead, who now do not exist. Among them would be ordinary people, and prominent, and those who would influence the course of history. Thus, the world could be completely different from a cultural and technological point of view.
2
Perhaps there would be no state in its current form, because no need to defend borders. People could freely move from country to country and travel. There would be no enmity between many nations over past wars.
3
There would be no defense industry and many factories working for its needs. The enormous funds and resources involved there could be directed to solving other pressing problems. The state would not need to maintain an army. Men, accordingly, would not have to go to serve (in Israel and women too).
4
It is known that a number of discoveries and inventions, the growth of industry in countries, were often the result of an arms race. If there were no wars, perhaps people would live in a less technological society. Someone will say that this is bad. But, on the other hand, the negative impact of industry on the environment could also be less.
5
There would be thousands of atomic bomb tests in the 20th century, as well as the use of nuclear weapons in 1945 against the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. About 200 thousand people would not have died as a result of the explosion, several thousand more would not have been ill with radiation sickness, and enormous environmental damage would not have been inflicted.
6
The appearance of many cities would be different, because during the wars many cities and important monuments of architecture and art were destroyed.
7
The political picture in many countries would be different. Other presidents and ruling parties could be at the head of states.
eight
History books would become several times thinner, or would reveal the peaceful side of life much more fully.
