During the Kuwait war the US used a weapon which could destroy missiles in the air. Though it was not a perfect anti weapon they were able to understand the working in a war zone. An ICBM has not been stopped so far.
These anti-missiles were called Patriot system! I hope someday there would be a system to disable a nuclear tipped missile before launch! More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
