The Second World War was the inevitable price of abandoning moral principles, for the sake of which the struggle of 1914 - 18 was fought.

Within the Treaty of Versailles, the seeds of the new conflict were already present. President Wilson's idealism met with very little understanding in the disturbed hearts of men, where ideas, principles, and feelings were in great disarray.

And the League of Nations, on which humanity pinned so many hopes, proved to be a stillborn creation. The great effort was once again followed by an agonizing void. In the souls of the victors and the vanquished, the same merciless questions loomed.

The voice of the blood of millions of fighters, who died for freedom and justice, swept over the countries of Europe, Asia, and Africa with the rhythm of a storm. The painful sacrifice at the altar of freedom did not yield the expected fruits.

Millions of people continued to live under a regime of oppressive slavery. The great masses of the people were subjected in every way to the oppression and exploitation of the powerful.

The sense of social justice had been dulled, and in the hands of the tyrants of humanity, moral principles served only as a cover for their unholy goals and ambitions. Totalitarian regimes were tending to reduce man to the level of beasts.
