World War II1
As a person looks at the last thousand years of history, many events come to mind. To be more specific, many world-changing events have occurred. Many of them have good explanations, or just reason as to why they happened. There were also a handful of events that had no rhyme or reason. These are the events the world may never understand. In the writer's mind, these are the events that changed the world the most. There is one particular event that seems to stand out when considering only the events of the 1900's. The events of World War II are broad and abundant, from the advances in warfare and technology to the cruelty of using genocide to gain power.

The next step to Hitler's plan was ghettos. But as soon as Stark had checked that the fire was drawing well they were switched off again. His orders were to kill all the civilians possible, especially the Jews. Wiesenthal, Simon The Sunflower (New York: Shocken Books) 1976.
