My book talks about an invasion of aliens that show up on earth and attempt to wipe out the human race through 5 different waves.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a bad issue because the aliens want to kill all of the humans, then take earth for themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a serious issue that needs to be solved because if the aliens win, that will be the end of the human race.

# data[].attributes.body
This Issue affects everybody that lives on planet earth because a whole different species is trying to take over earth and wipe out all humans.

# data[].attributes.body
This affects people because the war or invasion involves aliens trying to kill all humans. While all of this is happening, people are losing loved ones, their homes, food, water, and most have to fight ad survive all alone.

This book talks about an alien invasion where they are trying to take over the world and wipe out the human race.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a bad issue because the world will end and the human race will be gone forever if the aliens succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
If this issue isn't solved, then the aliens will wipe out the entire human race for eternity, which is basically the end of the world.

This issue affected all humans on planet earth in many ways: Losing loved ones, losing their homes, not having any food or water, if they are injured or something, they might not be able to seek any medical attention, so they could die a slow and painful death.

Every human in the book had to go through this. Some were affected terribly and some didn't have it as bad, it still was hard to go through for everyone. The main character in the book, Cassie Sullivan, had her own story.

What does the character experience with this issue?

# data[].attributes.body
Cassie was there from the beginning like everyone else. It started with the first wave. The first wave was an EMP that destroyed all technology and electronic devices. That was nothing compared to the other waves. The second wave was a huge tsunami that took out about 3 billion people. The third wave was a horrible disease or virus that wiped out about 97% of the remaining population, including Cassie's mom. The fourth wave was I guess a little more subtle because the aliens actually arrived on earth and took complete control of humans which were then called silencers. They would slowly kill off the rest of the remaining humans, and it would make it hard for the remaining because they wouldn't know how to tell if someone was a silencer or an actual human. The fifth wave was where little kids and teenagers were trained to kill what they thought were the aliens, but were actually the humans that were left over from the 4th wave. Only few figured that they were being tricked.

Cassie teaches us that no matter how hard it is to do something, if you want it enough and try hard enough, you will be able to accomplish your goal. *Cassie gets shot* "It's not so bad, I remember thinking. This whole dying thing isn't so bad at all. And then I saw Sammy's face pressed against the black window of the yellow bus. He was smiling. He was happy" (Yancey, 100). "I didn't know if Sammy was alive. For all I knew, I was the last person on Earth. But I had made a promise" (Yancey, 101). (In the beginning when they were separated and she promised that she would find him) "I still could be the last human being on Earth. I might be--no, I probably am--doomed. But if I'm it, the last human of my kind, the last page of human history, like hell I'm going to let the story end this way. Because if I am the last one, then I am humanity. And if this is humanity's last war, then I am the battlefield" (Yancey, 101). "I'm stumbling around like a zombie when I hear a little voice calling my name. Coming from a group I had just passed, and it's funny he recognized me and not the other way around. I go still. I do not turn. I close my eyes, but can't bring myself to turn around. 'Cassie?' I lower my head. There is a lump the size of Texas caught in my throat. And then I turn and he's staring at me with something like fear, like this might be the straw, seeing a dead ringer for his sister tiptoeing around dressed up like a soldier. Like he's the outer limits of the Others' cruelty" (Yancey, 412). "'I , um, I thought you might want this back.' Then my baby brother slaps that damned bear out of my hand and crushes his face against his chest, and beneath the odors of sweat and strong soap I can smell it, his smell, Sammy's, my brother's" (Yancey, 413). These quotes show that close to the more beginning of the book when she got shot, page 100, she was thinking about how it wouldn't be that bad if she had just died then and there, but she remember how she had promised to find her brother Sammy, and when she thought of that it had changed her mind. She went through a lot when she met Evan and then later finding out who he actually was. She finally got help finding him in the close to the ending of the book, page 412, and that showed how even though she doubted herself in the beginning, she thought of her brother and looked for him without giving up, which turned out to end up with a good ending.

"On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. The Polish army was defeated within weeks of the invasion. From East Prussia and Germany in the north and Silesia and Slovakia in the south, German units, with more than 2,000 tanks and over 1,000 planes, broke through Polish defenses along the border and advanced on Warsaw in a massive encirclement attack" ("Invasion of Poland").
An invasion could happen very unexpectedly and they victims of it, could not be prepared at all so they are defenseless. Just like in the book, nobody was prepared or expecting an alien invasion so that's why it was so much worse than it could've been if they were ready for it.

Hitler's Non-Aggression Pact with Poland

One of Adolf Hitler's first major foreign policy initiatives after coming to power was to sign a nonaggression pact with Poland in January 1934. This move was not popular with many Germans who supported Hitler but resented the fact that Poland had received the former German provinces of West Prussia, Poznan, and Upper Silesia under the Treaty of Versailles after World War I. However, Hitler sought the nonaggression pact in order to neutralize the possibility of a French-Polish military alliance against Germany before Germany had a chance to rearm.

Appeasement in Europe

In the mid and late 1930s, France and especially Britain followed a foreign policy of appeasement, a policy closely associated with British prime minister Neville Chamberlain. The objective of this policy was to maintain peace in Europe by making limited concessions to German demands. In Britain, public opinion tended to favor some revision of the territorial and military provision of the Versailles treaty. Moreover, neither Britain nor France in 1938 was militarily prepared to fight a war against Nazi Germany.

Britain and France essentially acquiesced to Germany's rearmament (1935-1937), remilitarization of the Rhineland (1936), and annexation of Austria (March 1938). In September 1938, after signing away the Czech border regions, known as the Sudetenland, to Germany at the Munich conference, British and French leaders pressured France's ally, Czechoslovakia, to yield to Germany's demand for the incorporation of those regions. Despite Anglo-French guarantees of the integrity of rump Czechoslovakia, the Germans dismembered the Czechoslovak state in March 1939 in violation of the Munich agreement. Britain and France responded by guaranteeing the integrity of the Polish state. Hitler responded by negotiating a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union in the summer of 1939. The German-Soviet Pact of August 1939, which stated that Poland was to be partitioned between the two powers, enabled Germany to attack Poland without the fear of Soviet intervention.

Invasion and Partition of Poland

On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. To justify the action, Nazi propagandists falsely claimed that Poland had been planning, with its allies Great Britain and France, to encircle and dismember Germany and that Poles were persecuting ethnic Germans. Ultimately, the SS, in collusion with the German military, staged a phony Polish attack on a German radio station. Hitler then used this action to launch a retaliatory campaign against Poland.

The Polish army was defeated within weeks of the invasion. From East Prussia and Germany in the north and Silesia and Slovakia in the south, German units, with more than 2,000 tanks and over 1,000 planes, broke through Polish defenses along the border and advanced on Warsaw in a massive encirclement attack. After heavy shelling and bombing, Warsaw surrendered to the Germans on September 27, 1939. Britain and France, standing by their guarantee of Poland's border, had declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939. The Soviet Union invaded eastern Poland on September 17, 1939. The demarcation line for the partition of German- and Soviet-occupied Poland was along the Bug River.

Occupation

In October 1939, Germany directly annexed those former Polish territories along German's eastern border: West Prussia, Poznan, Upper Silesia, and the former Free City of Danzig. The remainder of German-occupied Poland (including the cities of Warsaw, Krakow, Radom, and Lublin) was organized as the so-called Generalgouvernement (General Government) under a civilian governor general, the Nazi Party lawyer Hans Frank.

Nazi Germany occupied the remainder of Poland when it invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941. Poland remained under German occupation until January 1945.

"After heavy shelling and bombing, Warsaw surrendered to the Germans on September 27, 1939. Britain and France, standing by their guarantee of Poland's border, had declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939" (Invasion of Poland"). Sometimes, the victims could also have a plan to help. Like when Britain and France attacked Germany in order to get back at them from invading Poland. In the 5th wave, they weren't prepared, but they figured out a way to fight back against the aliens.

We have never had an alien invasion before so I can't say anything about that specifically, but for invasions in general, we can try to be more aware of certain things, have more protection maybe people having guns or some time of weapon in their homes, having a strong military, etc.

This is showing when Germany attacked Poland and then when the Soviets attacked the other part or the east side of Poland, (two weeks after Germany).

This is showing the amount of Civilian deaths, but I am focusing on mostly the Soviets, Germany, and Poland to show what an invasion can cause. In the 5th Wave, there were many people that had died do to the invasion.
