Description from the THS Course Catalog:

This course is designed to delve deeper into the important historical themes than required history classes. We will focus on the United States involvement in World War II along with the causes, course, and outcome of the war. Beginning with the Treaty of Versailles at the end of WWI, students will be exposed to details about the origins, social impact, major events, and geography of the war. We will interact with primary sources as a method of learning about the time period. Historical thinking skills will be developed as students process various primary and secondary sources to develop a deeper understanding of 20th Century American History as a result of our study of the war.
