WWII

World War Two is one of my favorite topics to discuss. This time period is very interesting and full of lots of exciting topics, but it was also very sad and trying for those that lived and fought in this war. In class we will analyze as much of the war as we can from the leaders, the holocaust, weapons, etc.... My hope with this topic is that students will gain a better understanding of the war as a whole and the U.S. involvement in the war.
