Was Judaism or Zoroastrianism the first truly monotheistic religion?

No. For one thing, it wasn't a true monotheistic religion. But even if you consider it a monotheistic religion, its monotheistic elements arose at some point during the first millennium BC, making it younger than Egyptian monotheism under Akhenaten, and probably younger than Hebrew monotheism (c.

10th century BC).

No Zoroastrinism is dualistic. And it is unclear when it came into being. It came into the Middle East from India in about the 6th century BCE.

In India, there are scholarly types of Hinduism which are much more properly monotheistic that are sourced in what seem to be far older texts from which the Zoroastrian texts derived. The first Middle Eastern monotheistic religion that still survives started around 1800 BCE (the religion of the Hebrews clan) and there are indications that there were earlier ones that did not survive (the Hebrew Bible itself discusses earlier non-Hebrew monotheist priests).

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.
