1.The battle between Scotland and England
We agree on what Wenmin's group said. During wartime,both parties will suffer and gain in certain ways.People will become closer and also,their morale will be boosted.Their sense of responsibility towards their own country will also grow,thus making them love and want to protect their country,their one and only home. If the win the war, they could gain freedom once again and more power for their country, thus providing their people with more supplies, making the country wealthy.
However,fighting a war also has its negative side.It causes bloodshed and also causes those poor victims of the two countries in war to lose their homes and family members.It also cause people to be afraid.Both parties will use alot of resources and thus causing the economy to go down.
2.Singapore's involvement in WW2
That was a time when mostly Indians and Malays gain.They were given the chance to try and rule Singapore.It was only during the Japanese Occupation that they were given this opportunity.Whereas,the Chinese were treated harshly.The Europeans were treated so-so as they were the rich ones.However,if they did anything wrong,they would still be punished harshly.The people were also forced to learn japanese.This was considered a good and bad thing.Good as they could take this chance to learn Japanese and its culture for free.However,by forcing the people to learn Japanese,it would also mean 'snatching' away Singapore culture away.
Also,during the WW2,people suffered.They lived in fear everyday,scared of offending the Japanese and getting punished.People lost their homes and family members.They also did not have enough food and essential supplies as other countries did not like the Japanese thus they stopped trading with Singapore as Singapore was under the control of the Japanese.This caused the economy of Singapore to go down. Not even the women and children were spared. Aillied soldiers were forced to march from Padang to Selarang Barracks, while European civilians marched to Katong to reach Changi Prison. The punishments were severe as it includes torture, decapitation and death. Some were even forced to work at the Death Railway in Thailand.
