What was the cause of World War
2?
The instability created in Europe by the First World War (1914-18) set
the stage for another international conflict World War II which broke out
two decades later and would prove even more devastating. Rising to
power in an economically and politically unstable Germany, Adolf Hitler,
leader of the Nazi Party, rearmed the nation and signed strategic treaties
with Italy and Japan to further his ambitions of world domination. Hitler’s
invasion of Poland in September 1939 drove Great Britain and France to
declare war on Germany, marking the beginning of World War II. Over
the next six years, the conflict would take more lives and destroy more
land and property around the globe than any previous war.
THE BATTLE OF MANILA
(3 Feb 1945 – 3 Mar 1945)
The Manila Central Post Office, often called the Post Office
Building, is the main postal office of Manila, which also serves as
the home of the Philippine Postal Corporation. It also houses the
main mail sorting-distribution operations of the Philippines. In 1926,
the bureau of posts was built. It was damaged during World War II
(1945), but was restored after the war in 1946.
