4.1 Human Rights and Global Conflicts in the Postwar Era

How to get peace:

#1 Germany and German citizens will not be punished. They did hunt the Nazis though. They enemy soliders will change clothing and hide from the solider libertaors, everyone had to be processed. The Nazis went into hiding (escaped country/ kms).

^—- The Nermberg Trials were about getting the Nazis.

#2 Japan got away with a lot (atomic bomb), all they had to do is promise to not bomb America and not to have a military sepertae from America.

#3 LON turned into the UN (not a defense organization). Its a peace watch dog. THey realy just encourage nations to talk to eachother (deplomacy and negoation). America turned from isolationist to interventionist.

The United Nations:

  • Save suceeding generations for the scrouge of war —> just avoiding yk bloodshed and sorrow

  • Reaffirm faith and fundemental of human rights (feel like they have something to lose (life, if they want to live they wont want war)), I have a life and my neighbours have life.

  • Promote social progress (assiss countries that are shaky on human rights and encourage them to better thinking)
