World War II, as a total war, has an extensive and everlasting impact on the historical process of post-war world.One of its manifestations is that it contributed to the shift of development pattern,which from the pre-war pattern of development of aggression with conquest and plunder to the post-war pattern of development of peace basing on the qualities of equality,co-existence and win-win.In Modern times, the pattern of development with territorial conquest,and predatory was still the the dominant development pattern in the Western world. it is this development pattern that led to the "Rise of the West", and resulted in the central-peripheral relations between the Western world and the non-Western world in world politics.However, with changes at all levels brought about by the Industrial Revolution in the international community, this development pattern of aggression peaked and also began to decline in the end of 19th century and the beginning of 20th century.The rise and continuity of Development pattern of aggression is the root causes of war and conflict in modern times, the development pattern characterized with closure is responsible for the two world wars in the 20th century. the capitalist development pattern with aggression suffered the boom-bust to the First World War, the legacies of the First World War are beginning to weaken the presence of development pattern with aggression in international politics, but this weakening is a limit, and failed to make the international community completely deny and abandon the aggression policy as its tool of development. colonial expansion, empire-building is still prevalent, the war is still considered as a policy tool while seeking their own economic development and social progress by some countries.The outbreak of World War II is the result of some countries’ insist on aggression as the development pattern in 1930s.and the post-war legacies World War II left the international community further weakens the foundation of the presence of development pattern of aggression,and resulted in the conversion of the world development pattern to the peaceful development.World War II left the postwar world a rich heritage, here the author according to the text of keynote papers, only analyse the the important and positive legacies which are responsible for the conversion of the world development pattern.then divide them into two categories:firstly, the post-war planning the allies Carried out in wartime basing on the reflection of the root causes of the outbreak of World War II,such as the abolition of the colonial system, building a stable and open international financial and trade order, social security,and constructing effective collective security mechanism.These efforts lay the political, economic and social foundation for the formation and development of peaceful development pattern in the postwar world;secondly,World War II left the postwar world objective legacies, such as the establishment of a multilateral international system, The emergence of post-war welfare state building, post-war progress in science and technology and the changes of development concept,and so on.These positive legacies of World War II made peaceful development pattern become increasingly the dominant development pattern in the postwar world.the fact that the formation of peaceful development pattern development pattern of peace and more and more widely recognized in Post-war world has a profound impact on the world history process.It promotes the change of the times theme,and ensures the presence of the whole peace, meanwhile brings the human society wealth and prosperity. But in era of globalization, the current world development pattern is not perfect, though compared with aggression, it has considerable progress.as it is built on the basis of peace, a peaceful development,but this development is a non-balanced development.considering the unreasonable game rules, the world doesn’t yet achieve a reasonable sharing of fruits of development.the wealth gap between countries is widening,if the situation continues,it will eventually endanger the whole world peace and development, so the current peaceful development pattern can not bring about the sustainable peace and development.How to improve the current peaceful development pattern to the co-existence and co-prosperity direction has become one of the major concerns of the international community.After the war, the Chinese government and people who adhere to the socialist road see the changing times theme,uphold the peaceful development doctrine, from the "peaceful coexistence" to the times theme of "peace and development", from the "peaceful development"to" harmonious world ", enriched and developed the theory of world peaceful development.and in practice,combined with their national conditions,and opened a way of peaceful development.with Chinese characteristics successfully.
