Status Of Women

At the national women's conference convened by the government in September 1943 Winston Churchill assured the women delegates that the contribution to the war effort by British women had ‘definitely altered those social and sex balances which years of convention had established’. His belief that the war had brought about profound changes in the status of women was shared by contemporary authors attempting to evaluate the effect of the war on British women. Studies written near the end of the war by Margaret Goldsmith and Gertrude Williams refer to a wartime ‘revolution’ in the position of women. Both authors defined this revolution primarily in terms of the changed position of women workers.

Status Of Women

Since the XXth century, and especially after the Second World War, particular attention was given to the status of women who for many years was overs had owed. These different events led policy makers at the international level as well as in different countries of the world to make courageous decisions globally in favor of women globally. These decisions have enabled women to take flight both by integrating socially themselves and by taking beneficial actions that could contribute to the economic and social development of their respective countries. On the economic level in particular, Congolese women exercise many activities related to their own initiative or to collective action, these different activities contribute to the economic development of the Republic of Congo. In the economic field, the man alone cannot ensure the development of the country, the Congolese woman also contributes to this development.

<p class="Keyword">Nazi Germany used Endlösung to persecute Jews during the Second World War, leading them to the Holocaust, known as “death”. During the German occupation in France, the status of the Jews was applied. Polonski reacted to the situation by establishing a Zionist resistance, Jewish Army, in January 1942. Their first visions were to create a state of Israel and save the Jews as much as they could. Although the members of the group are not numerous, they represented Israel and played an important role in the rescue of the Jews in France, also in Europe. Using descriptive methods and three aspects of historical research, this article shows that the Jewish Army has played an important role in safeguarding Jewish children, smuggling smugglers, physical education and the safeguarding of Jews in other countries. In order to realize their visions, collaborations with other Jewish resistances and the French army itself were often created. With the feeling of belonging to France, they finally extended their vision to the liberation of France in 1945 by joining the French Forces of the Interior and allied troops.</p>

Ernst Nolte in his Die Epoche des Faschismus writes that Hitler undoubtedly in principle had wanted war ‘but hardly that war at that time’, meaning the war of 1939. This somewhat muddled thesis conceals two distinct issues, namely the argument that in 1939 contingencies were not entirely to Hitler's liking and the argument that in 1939 contingencies were so little to his liking that we must conclude that Hitler took no conscious steps to risk a general war.

Rapid advances in technology enable incremental developments in the aerospace and defense sector, the most well-known example of which is the evolution of air power. Since the end of the Second World War, the aerospace industry has been constantly developing and providing more capabilities to air forces around the world. These developments can be grouped under ‘generations’ and today, the latest iteration is the fifth generation. Fifth-generation combat aircraft or, in more general terms, fifth-generation air power is the product of various technological elements and innovations. To fully exploit these developments, air forces need to have interdisciplinary vision and the capability to absorb, deploy and develop skills ranging from requirement definition to program management. This study aims to provide an understanding on the features of the next generation of air warfare, while presenting the status of the Turkish Air Force and offering suggestions on several challenges and opportunities.

With the development of medicine and awareness of the value of medicinal thermal waters, the trend of spa and medical tourism was gaining enormous proportions after the Second World War. New tourist places are being introduced and built, thus becoming centers of cultural events, sports competitions, scientific and professional gatherings. As for Vojvodina, this trend did not have an upward trend. There was no interest from social and economic organizations to invest more in tourism. For this reason, spas survived only by joining health care facilities and obtaining the status of their ward. Visitors were no longer satisfied with the standard offer placed on the market. It was no longer enough to say that water and mud were healing, the spa became the seat of social tourism. The authors of the paper presented a part of their many years of research related to the possibility of rebuilding the Lemeška Spa in cooperation with the state of Hungary, which has been out of operation for many years. More specifically, only part of the study of the feasibility and research of the authors is presented. The aim of the paper is to show the importance of reconstruction of the spa facility, both for Vojvodina itself and for the wider tourist market.

This article presents a conceptual approach to understanding the history of Ukraine during the Second World War. The author analyzes the main features of the post-Soviet Ukrainian historiography of the Second World War, indicates its positive and negative features, and offers his own scheme of the history of the Second World War in Ukraine. The researcher places the work within a global historical process in which the struggle of various competing imperialist empires whose aims included the inclusion of Ukrainian ethnic territories within their own orbits. The author also offers quite a different view of the Ukrainian liberation movement during the Second World War, representing it not as part of an anti-Nazi resistance, but as a separate alternative development of the Ukrainian people against the backdrop of competing imperialist projects: the Nazi “New Europe” and the Bolshevik “world revolution”. The author describes the Second World War as an “unfinished war” that did not bring Ukraine freedom, independence and liberation from tyranny, but rather led to the replacement of one criminal regime with another. Determining the status of Ukraine during the Second World War, the author stresses that Ukraine and the Ukrainian people can’t be positioned as either “winners” or “losers”, but only as victims of the war.
