Connection across Time for Chap. 27

WWI had its ups and downs. Good things that came out of the war such as new technology and attempts of peace treaties to restore the war and to bring peace to the allied nations. But the war also brought destruction, death, and horror. I feel that this war relates to today's war in Iraq because soldiers are dying everyday just as it happened during WWI. Furthermore, some families are suffering due to their husbands being gone and the wives have to step up to the plate to manage the mortgage, pay bills, and to make sure the house is in order. Also, today we are witnessing that the economy is falling apart because of the outrageous cost of the war, just as it was in WWI. What we can learn today is that war truly does not solve anything to an extent. Regardless if we win the war, many are going to suffer, lose their lives, and go through many hardships to make it through. Their has to be another way to solve such issues!
