Abstract

This article exposes the period of the First and Second World War. The paper presents the dehumanization policies of human beings due to two world wars in a historical perspective. If we analyse the period from the end of the WWI to WWII, we will be able to understand that The World War II was the final phase of the World War I. In these period there are many crisis in the world and great depression which were the symbol of dehumanization activities. They were the largest military conflicts in human history. Both wars involved military alliances between different groups of countries. The world warring nations were divided into two groups namely ‘The Central Powers’ and ‘The Allied Powers’. Within the two wars the First World war was especially heinous because of the genocide of Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis. Between the two wars the World War II was the largest conflict in human history and devastated Europe, Asia, North Africa, and large portions of the Pacific. The two conflicts merged into a single global struggle during which a coalition of Allied powers defeated a coalition of Axis states. This text uses a largely narrative approach, interspersed with a separate section on economic, psychological, and demographic aspects of the conflict to describe the origins, course, and consequences of the war. Beside it will reveal the terrible incidents which were responsible for dehumanization policy of human being due to two world wars.
