WW1 & WW2


1. What are the most interesting aspects of World Wars 1 and 2?
World War One- the thing I found most interesting was the truce on Christmas. I thought that was crazy, but I don't think I would be able to do that.

World War Two- The flying fortress' role in the war. (the bombing of the ball bearing factories, nagasaki/hiroshima...)

2. What do you hope to learn about these wars?

The in depth stories and reasons behind all of the important events that Randy always brings to the table when we start a new subject. ( ;

3. How/Why are these wars important today? How do they impact and/or inform our world today? hint: think about alliances, democracies around the world, cultures, international institutions, nuclear (and other) technologies, etc.

They are important today, because we can attempt to learn about what we did wrong, and how we can go about fixing them next time. They impact our world in many ways, between friendships grown through the war, the future that could have been if things would not have happened the way they did, and the technology that we discovered through the wars (the nuclear bomb, machine gun, fighter planes etc)



And btw, Josh Hartnett was inspirational in pearl harbor.
