What is power??

As the dictionary says, “Power is a person or thing that possesses or exercises authority or influence”. Power takes many forms, comes from many places, and is measured in many ways.
Almost everything happens with the influence of power; power has caused all the big events in the past such as the industrial revolution, WWI, WWII, the Cold War, imperialism, the Russian revolution and much more.
Without power, many countries wouldn’t have industrialized and made as money, notice how the powerful countries industrialized and how they industrialized first. WWI; all the countries went into the war trying to take over land and gain power, they fought because of power. Again, notice how the leading forces of WWI were the most powerful. Same thing with WWII, Nazi Germany wanted to take over Europe and get lots of power. Germany was close to doing this because they were so powerful. The cold war was between the powerful countries and was caused and escalated by trying to be the most powerful. The outcomes of these wars also relates to power, the powerful countries came out strong and continued to be strong and to be world leaders. Imperialism; this was caused by the most powerful nations taking advantage and taking over the less powerful countries such as Africa. In conclusion, power is a big factor that can influence great decisions.
