You are only allowed to specialize a standard library if the specialization depends on a user-defined name with external linkage. Char doesn't meet this requirement and you are getting undefined behaviour.
As a general rule, you should not define or specialize anything other than a traits class in namespace std, and you certainly should not attempt to change the definition of the underyling type of std::string.
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.
