Windows 10 is the latest iteration of Microsoft's operating system. Desktops with Win 10 and previous versions are what most people typically use, so you'll be assured of the best compatibility and widest selection of third-party software. This also applies to browser plugins, since some only work with Windows. Apple's OS X is currently up to version 10.11 (El Capitan).
World War II (WWII), also called the Second World War, was a global war. It took place from 1939â1945. Most of the world's countries, including all the great powers, fought as part of two military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. The war was fought as a total war, meaning all resources a country had were used in the war, even those that didn't belong to the army, such as factories.
The Postwar Economy: 1945-1960. As the Cold War unfolded in the decade and a half after World War II, the United States experienced phenomenal economic growth. The war brought the return of prosperity, and in the postwar period the United States consolidated its position as the world's richest country.
