Did World War II become more brutal as time went on? First of all, if you don’t know what WWII was, here’s a hint. It came after WWI. Yes the war did get more brutal as time went on. Why? First off, as time went on more and more countries joined which meant more deaths. Secondly, the countries that were fighting were getting their supplies bombed because they can’t survive without food and their war machines can’t work without the right tools. At one point in the war a country had to bomb the middle of France because the train station was in the center of it. They were trying to cut off Germanies supplies, and to do that they needed to get rid of the trains, although they killed hundreds of people in France. The war ended when America bombed Japan’s citizens, which was pretty brutal and not necessary, although I might have done the same thing. What would you have done?
