Answer 1

Answer:

Horrors of War

It is admitted on all hands that war is a terrible thing. In olden times, wars were fought with bows and arrows and clubs and spears. Then wars were not so dangerous.

Then came guns, cannon, rifles, pistols and small bombs. Then wars became more horrible. With the manufacturing of warplanes, warships, gunboats, torpedoes and missiles wars became even more destructive. There was more loss of life and property in the first and second world wars than perhaps in all human history taken together prior to that.

With the making of the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb and innumerable other destructive explosive things including nuclear, bacteriological and chemical weapons and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the destructive power of the war machinery has assumed unimaginable proportions.

Now a number of countries like the USA, the UK, France Russia, China, India, Pakistan, etc. have nuclear weapons and missiles of various categories on which nuclear warheads can be mounted.

The destruction which modern wars cause is immense. Crops are destroyed. Cities are leveled. Even educational institutions and hospitals are not spared. Thousands of women become widows. Millions of children become orphans.

May God forbid, if nuclear war takes place, the whole of mankind may be wiped -off the face of the earth. So, effective steps must be taken to banish war altogether.
