Japan would be obliged to negotiate with each former enemy in terms of making reparations.
It appears therefore that any attempts at creating peaceful solutions to the conflicts arising during the World Wars culminated in much further conflict, particularly as involving the United States, Germany and the U.S.S.R. Furthermore, it also appears that the ideal of taking sufficient time in order to prevent further conflict was somewhat defeated by conflicts that still existed.
Conclusion
The World Wars and the Cold War are sad episodes in human history. Furthermore, the kind of peace treaties created and the reactions of the various countries to these leave something to be desired. It appears that, once there was a taste of the nature and horrors of war, it was almost impossible to stop its impetus. Indeed, some critics, such as Huppauf, hold that both wars became so filled with momentum that, although the majority saw the senselessness of fighting, officials appeared to be incapable of stopping.
Both peace treaties and the wars perhaps show how human nature is very slow to learn from history. Not even the terrible suffering caused by the First World War could keep human beings from engaging in such a war a second time.
The early twentieth century changed many things in human history. These wars will forever leave a scar to serve as a reminder of how cruelty can override all other human emotion. To conclude, world leaders need to make greater efforts to preserve the peace.

Organizational Health Educational institutions generally approach organizational improvement by addressing the performance standards to which students, educators, and administrators are held. The standards movement has been a dominant theme in educational policy arenas and in the public eye. With roots in the 1950s Cold War mentality, the thrust of educational improvement has been prodded by perceptions of international industrial and scientific competition. If the rigor of educational standards in the nation
