World War II
World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. World War II was a total war that directly involved more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries. The major participants in the war threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and deploying the only two nuclear weapons ever used in war. World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities, mostly among civilians. Tens of millions died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was a well-known drugstore frequented by many townsfolk.

Bag-ong Kusog
''Bag-ong Kusog'' (''New Force'') was a periodical in the Cebuano language that was in circulation before World War II. Established in 1915 in Cebu, Philippines, with its bilingual predecessor, ''Nueva Fuerza,'' it was published every Friday until it ceased operations at the outbreak of the war in 1941. History After three centuries of Spanish colonial rule and in the Commonwealth period under the Americans, mass media in the country prospered. The period between 1916 and 1935 likewise marked the steady decline of Spanish as a lingua franca in Cebu and the rise of Cebuano publications. ''Bag-ong Kusog'' started out as a Spanish–Cebuano bi-weekly publication named ''Nueva Fuerza''. Founded on May 2, 1915, by writer, editor, and politician Vicente Rama, ''Nueva Fuerza'' later became tri-weekly starting on February 7, 1919. Its printing press company, which was previously the ''Imprenta Rosario'' and then ''Imprenta'' "The Cebu Chronicle", was sold to Vicente Rama. The compan ...
