Leaders mark 70th anniversary of World War II

Almost 20 world leaders gathered Tuesday in Poland to commemorate the start of World War II. 70 years ago today in a battle which 6 million Polish people died. The attack of the battleship Schleswig-Holstein set off a chain of events.The Russians took half of Poland in this war.Leaders from many nations were in Gdansk for a wreath-laying ceremony at the Cemetery of Defenders, where speeches took place in front of the Westerplatte memorial. Although this war was many years ago, their are still people suffering, and they feel it's unfair to them. The war is over, and all the pain and suffering should be over with. Most countries have overcome these types of controversies, when will this country be done with theirs??? It's a new day, age and time, so lets get the problems resolved.
