Subject: RE: BS: Bush, Iraq, and War: PART EIGHT
The difference Nicole was that the Allies insisted on the unconditional surrender on the part of the Axis powers, all the others you quoted were negotiated peace settlements, with the exception of Korea where only a ceasefire was negotiated. As you rightly point out what followed the end of hostilities in 1945 was the thing that ensured peace - pro-active engagement in the reconstruction of devastated countries.
