This author's clearly confusing happiness with contentment. Read the essay and substitute the word happiness with the word 'Contentment' it reads almost the same, with the exception of the first part.

This essay should not even be in this section, it is a review of an approach to move making, and has no historical content. It will be of no interest whatsoever to anyone searching for history.

This is quite a good reflection of a sadly neglegted part of WW2 for the UK. However it does not recognize some less pleasant facts. Crime was so bad, it was almost out of control by the end of the war. Women were having affairs with GI's, unwanted pregnancies rose dramatically, rationing was abused, with the higher classes not really feeling the effects. Children were being abused by their guardians they were evacuated to, and used simply as cheap labour, acting as servants in some places.The black market was soaring, and rationing continued into the middle of the 1950's almost ten years after the end of the war.

This essay may have been better titled "The events leading up to the assisination of Archduke Frances Ferdinand"The essay itself is quite well written, and is accurate and informative, on the subject that it covers. Which is only a small part of the complicated series of events leading to the 'Great War' It pays no attention to the many and varied interests of the other protagonists, Turkey for example wanted to build her railway line, valuable mineral rights were at stake, and there is little mention of the many treaties that existed between the royal families and heads of state. The Russian Tsar's were aware of dissention and the rumblings of revolution within their land, even the Irish were not without their share of unrest, the Easter Rising of 1916 proved this.So the 'War to end wars' was about a lot more than nationalist pride in Estern Europe.

This is quite a superficial explanation of the events surrounding this period of American history. It is slightly disjointed and offers only a very brief explanation of the issue. It will probably be only of interest to someone who has no prior knowledge of the subject.
