Are there any residual effects from World War I in our society today?
Oh. My. God. That's like asking how different your life would be if you had never been born! Let me give you a clue, the First World War caused the Russian Revolution and the Second World War. The Russian Revolution and the Second World War caused Korea, Vietnam, and Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The change in the world order as a result of all of those things has brought about Iraq and Afghanistan, and the state of Israel. I will answer your question. Without WWI, there would be no Israel. Balfour would not have scribbled that declaration. There would have been no 911. Apart from anything else, the towers would not even have been built. Short answer: Yes. Every single thing that can possibly happen in the life of every single person on or from earth from 1914 until the end of eternity. If you want to look at non-residual effects, then look at the stars, but not the moon. That has been a residual effect for the last forty years. And it always will be.

How did the Cold War Effect American Society?
As a Cold War kid, I remember crawling under my desk in an air raid drill, and taking home instructions for how to build a fallout shelter and what should be stocked in it. It was a scary time. The Russians were viewed as enemies who wanted nothing more than to rule the world and destroy our way of life. They were not seen as individuals, but one faceless mob, and a threatening one at that. You want to know the real irony? We had been allied with the Soviet Union during World War II. It was a time of fear--everyone was afraid of a preemptive strike being made against the US, particularly during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. What no one outside of government and/or military circles realized is just how fast those missiles were, and that posting evacuation routes from such places as Washington DC and the various military bases in northern Virginia were more to stave off panic, since if a missile was launched it could strike within five minutes or less. It was this fear of Communism (it was the great boogieman when I was growing up) that led to our involvement in Vietnam, and to increased military spending and the development of the "military-industrial complex." The unpopularity of the war in southeast Asia sparked protests and a great polarization of the population of the US. Supporters of the war--or even just those who supported the troops--were labeled "hawks" while those who protested it, burned their draft cards, and often taunted returning GI's with such terms of endearment as "baby killer" were called "doves." Socially, it was a time of great unrest. Still, we didn't think of it nonstop, and the Cold War ebbed and flowed up until the 1980's. It was the destruction of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the former Soviet Union that brought it to an end.

War has caused many negative effects in our world, society. HELP!?
War has always caused negative effects for both the sides. There is really never in a war, other than the fact that you captured the enemy's land or killed the tyrant. In a war, a country must spend a lot of money to send troops, supplies, artillery (tanks, rockets, missiles). This money could have been spent in giving more homeless children food or better education for children. In a war, many landmarks and resources can be destroyed. Soldiers are dying, hence the population is being brought down. Families are breaking up, brothers are losing brothers, mothers are losing sons etc. On top of that, in a war many innocent people are killed mostly by bombs. Countries usually go into a huge debt after a war has taken place. War hardly has positive effects, the negative effects outweigh them very badly. Think positive! Think War-Free

It's not just the fighting. It's all the backdrop organization: funding, resourcing, training, command-&-control system, logistics, etc.In peace time, you may appoint your inept cousin John to be the Minister of Finance, and doddering nephew George to be tinpot general. In wartime, you would appointa competent Minister of Finance to properly collect taxes to fund the war. Efficient taxation requires complete and reliable citizen records, and a high-performing tax authority.You would appoint a competent general to win the war. Or else…Drives meritocracy, technocracy. And the effects are sustained after the war.Example: Bismarck, militaristic Germany → Robust state
