supports: World War II (often abbreviated to WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nationsincluding all of the great powerseventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history. The Charles River (sometimes called the River Charles or simply the Charles) is an long river in eastern Massachusetts. From its source in Hopkinton the river flows in a northeasterly direction (after first coursing due south through Milford), traveling through 23 cities and towns before reaching the Atlantic Ocean at Boston. The Cold War was a state of political and military tension after World War II between powers in the Eastern Bloc (the Soviet Union and its satellite states) and powers in the Western Bloc (the United States, its NATO allies and others). Historians do not fully agree on the dates, but a common timeframe is the period (the second half of the 20th century) between 1947, the year the Truman Doctrine (a U.S. policy pledging to aid nations threatened by Soviet expansionism) was announced, and 1991, the year the Soviet Union collapsed. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States, MIT adopted a European polytechnic university model and stressed laboratory instruction in applied science and engineering. Researchers worked on computers, radar, and inertial guidance during World War II and the Cold War. Post-war defense research contributed to the rapid expansion of the faculty and campus under James Killian. The current campus opened in 1916 and extends over along the northern bank of the Charles River basin. Cambridge is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States, in the Boston metropolitan area. A research university is a university that expects all its tenured and tenure-track faculty to continuously engage in research, as opposed to merely requiring it as a condition of an initial appointment or tenure. Such universities can be recognized by their strong focus on innovative research and the prestige of their brand names. On the one hand, research universities strive to recruit faculty who are the most brilliant minds in their disciplines in the world, and their students enjoy the opportunity to learn from such experts. On the other hand, new students are often disappointed to realize their undergraduate courses at research universities are overly academic and fail to provide vocational training with immediate "real world" applications; but many employers value degrees from research universities because they know that such coursework develops fundamental skills like critical thinking.  Michael Leonidas Dertouzos ( Greek :    ) ( November 5 , 1936 - August 27 , 2001 ) was a Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Director of the M.I.T. Laboratory for Computer Science ( LCS ) from 1974 to 2001 . During Dertouzos 's term , LCS innovated in a variety of areas , including RSA encryption , the spreadsheet , the NuBus , the X Window System , and the Internet . Dertouzos was instrumental in defining the World Wide Web Consortium and bringing it to MIT . He was a firm supporter of the GNU Project , Richard Stallman , and the FSF , and their continued presence at MIT . In 1968 , he co-founded Computek , Inc. , a manufacturer of graphics and intelligent terminals with Marvin C. Lewis and Dr. Huber Graham . Dertouzos was a graduate of Athens College and attended the University of Arkansas on a Fulbright Scholarship . He received his Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1964 and joined the M.I.T. faculty . He was buried at the First Cemetery of Athens .
