What did Wonder Woman do during World War II?
In the recent Wonder Woman film, we learn that the first World War was the work of Ares, God of War/Truth.
When Wonder Woman kills Ares, it takes away the desire for war from everyone, resulting in peace.
We then jump forward to what appears to be modern-day France, with the titular hero in her office.
With Ares dead then:
- Did World War II happen?
and, if it did,
- Did Wonder Woman fight in WWII?
Best Answer
Did World War II happen?
There is some evidence that a World War II happened.
Lex says in Batman vs. Superman...
"You know, dad was born in East Germany. He grew up...eating stale crackers. And every other Saturday, he had to march in a parade and waved flowers at tyrants. So I think it was providence that his son, me, would end up with this. "
East Germany only came into being as a direct result of WWII.
Did Wonder Woman fight in WWII?
Based only on the movies to date (10/2017)...we don't know.
It seems likely that, if she did, then it was on a very low-key level since no-one recognises her.
The implication of what we know is that Diana slips into the shadows of history and if indeed she took any action during WWII, Korea or Vietnam etc. it hasn't been public knowledge since no-one is aware of her.
Certainly in BvS she says..*
A hundred years ago I walked away from mankind. From a century of horrors. Man made a world where standing together is impossible.
The implication is that she did NOT take part.....but that may get retconned in a later movie.
