Greetings. This episode explore the holocausts of the 20th and 21st centuries. Beginning in the 1900s for the first time in history were civilian populations not only targeted by combat troops, but they were also the victims of widespread genocide. Before this time period, civilians were exempt from the threat of war. Now, they are sometimes the primary targets of death due to belief systems that justify their extermination.

This episode focuses on World War Two. This podcast goes deeper into the subject than was explored in the class or the textbook. Special permission has been granted by other history podcasters to rebroadcast selected episodes from their series. The first one in this episode is the first speech given by Sir Winston Churchil to the British Parliment when he assumed leadership of the country at the beginning of the war. The episode comes from the Great Speeches in History Podcast. This rare audio recording presents not only his words, but also his intensity and force of character. The second podcast is provided by Matts Today in History Podcast. Matt provides a clear analysis of the use of the atomic bomb at the end of the war and the justification for its use. Listeners of this podcast are encouraged to subscribe to their series. I certainly enjoy their podcast episodes and hope you will too.

This episode focuses on World War Two. In addition to the terrible destruction and loss of life, the war also defined the world then and now. After the war the United States assumed a leadership role in the world. Emerging from a long period of isolationism, the U.S. became engaged in world affairs and continuing military actions. This new engagement leads to the next chapter, the Cold War.
