Many historians are said that the invasion of Poland is what caused World War 2. The Germany's leader at that time, who is known as Hitler, was not happy with the Treaty made as it put their country to great depth. But because of that Hitler wanted to see how far he can push his luck by breaking as many rules from the treaty as possible. But when it came to Poland's invasion, Britain and France decided this is where they draw the line. Thus later leading to World War 2.

"To what extent did power struggles in WW2 impact the leaders’ perspectives on human dignity?". Power struggles during World War 2 impacted the leaders to feel helpless when defeated, and yet still wanting to risk more, yet not knowing they are only doing more damage to their people. The poem also explains the emotions of the leader who is going through defeat, who in this situation is Korechika Anami. Korechika Anami was a leader who committed "seppuku"(a form of honor suicide by cutting a certain part on your stomach) after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb as he felt defeated and disappointed having to surrender.

This tells us the consequences of War and how innocent people had to suffer all this trauma. Their whole life is being taken away from them even for no reason. This strips of their human dignity as it doesn't give them basic human needs yet instead, hunger, homelessness, torture and suffering.

The statue is a example of one of the long term implications of the conflict on our understanding of human nature and human dignity as it is a memorial for people to remember how tragic human nature was during World War 2 and how little human dignity was thought of at that time.
