History Quotes
We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were. The main thing history can teach us is that human actions have consequences and that certain choices, once made, cannot be undone. They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events.
-Gerda Lerner
History, we can confidently assert, is useful in the sense that art and music, poetry and flowers, religion and philosophy are useful. Without it -- as with these -- life would be poorer and meaner; without it we should be denied some of those intellectual and moral experiences which give meaning and richness to life. Surely it is no accident that the study of history has been the solace of many of the noblest minds of every generation.
-Henry Steele Commager
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
-Robert F. Kennedy

I'd have to say that it would be harder on the women and children at home! The men that were fighting in the war would have some stress, but just think if you had a loved one going to war and how worried and stressed you would be all of the time!!!! I don't think that i could have handled all of the burdens...taking care of my kids if i had any, working to keep and income, and worrying all the time about the saftey of my son/husband/relative of some sort!!!

I'm not really sure because the women and children at home have the consant fear of losing a brother/father/boyfriend/husband. And the men at war have the fear of dying, the shellshock, the injurys, the food shortages, (not sure if that's a fear exactaly.) the, well they had a lot of fears... so i would say that the men on the front lines would have more of an effect on... and fighting and living is hard...
