Introduction


  
  War huh... good god
   what is it good for
   absolutely nothing, listen to me

   Was released and sung by Edwin Starr, in
1970, Frankie goes to Hollywood, reached No1 spot
in the charts for a number of weeks. and Bruce
Springstein released his cover of"War"in 1986.
Many a poem was penned of the first world war,
not celebrating the victory and glory, but the
misery and death.

   As this website is more to do with war rather
than the art of music and pose. The art of war is an
ancient treatise by Sun Tzu, it has thirteen chapter
devoted to the aspect of warfare and how it applies to
military stragety and of course tactics. This ancient
book is dated from the 5th century B.C. At this time
in the west the Roman Empire was beginning to rule Europe,
the middle east, and parts of Africa including Egypt.

   It has been recorded in ancient Summerian records,
carved in brittle clay tablets, the conflict between the
Summerian and the neighbouring Elimites. Antiquity has
many recorded Empires and battles, the greatness of Egypt,
with the splender of the pyramids and Temples. Are all
recorded of on hieroglyphic markings, giving tribute to
the Egyptian strength and achievements in battle.

   Empires reach a zenieth, they come and go, the Assyrian
Empire was known as the first military state, setting up
vassal rulers of every conquered nation. Babylon, Persia,
Rome, followed and became known in the annals of history.
These empires did not become great without the strength of
their clenching iron fist of the armies they commanded,
taking the spoils of war as they went.

   So as once stated as historical thinking that, "History is
written by the Victors" Does the winning side shape the
narratives of history and scribe the text book to learn the
generations that follow?

  This website is mainly of the second world war, some
believe that the first and second world wars were just
one world war with a short interlude in between. It has
also been thought that this war ended in a stalemate.
But a huge cost to Germany, giving up land and compensation
to France and Belgium.

   Around the world during the close of the first war
world, a continuous sweeping tide of a new kind of ideology
and politics, Socialism:- Communism.  Whether this can be
traced back to Thomas Paine, his book "The Rights of Man,"
Vladimir Lenin, lead the October Revolution which the Tzar
and his family were murdered.  France was beginning to dance
with the ideology of socialism, and the noise was heard in
Germany.

   Socialism and trade unions seemed to be making pathways
towards communism. Russia under Joseph Stalin was gearing up
to have its first great purge. Italy was having its struggle
with socialism, and a small communist party members.  Also
in Italy was another form of socialism, Fascism, in which
their front man was Benito Mussolini.

   In Germany the NSP (National Socialist Party) was the
answer to counter communism. This party evolved into the
National Socialist German workers party (NSDWP). Their
strength was the Brown shirts, SA — Sturmabteilung
a violent paramilitary group attached to the Nazi Party in
pre World War Two Germany. The SA was instrumental in
the Nazi's rise to power and played a diminished role
during the Second World War. Soon the rise and popular
charismatic Leader therise of Adolf Hitler
