Great Britain made her last payment in 1966 Answer from what I have learned as a history major none of the major debtors have paid the U.S. Back in full...I could be wrong. But During WWII the U.S.Cut allot of the debts procurred so that the world economy would stay stable because the debts were well into the billions and this is well before Bill Gates's time. Think about inflation.
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.
