This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Stormy Forties was a memorably turbulent era, forever linked in the public consciousness with World War II (1937/1939-1945), the development of the first atomic weapons and subsequent attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This also marked the start of the Cold War and the Arab-Israeli Conflict. But this era also brought many other changes on the world's political map. The Soviet Union annexed Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, while Burma, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Israel, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria, and The Philippines gained independence from various European and American colonial empires. New regimes also emerged in existing countries; Republican Italy, West Germany, Red China, and East Germany all emerged in the second half of the decade. |
