Abstract

[World War I caused unprecedented damage and the whole world reacted with great and grave concern. Despite the establishment of international organizations and group efforts to sign relevant treaties, these failed to put a stop to the war. World War II spread throughout almost the entire civilized world except North America; from the bitterest northern regions to the hottest equatorial rainforests, and from the most isolated islands in the far east Pacific to continents out in the far west. It evolved from a spate of brutal killings to well-planned and “scientific” genocide. Human civilization was threatened with destruction, both in breadth and depth. The postwar trials, especially the two major international military trials by the East and the West, occurred while these concerns brewed.]
