World War II
Unit Purpose:
Unit Purpose:
Remember WWI, it doesnt seem like we studied that unit too long ago. After a brief break from the first major international conflict, we see that tensions are going to start again. The causes of WWII are going to stem from WWII and the consequences of the war are going to be far worse. Together we are going to learn about the truth about the beginning of the war, the major battles of the war, the use of the atomic bomb and the Holocaust. Will America ever be the same after the conflict?
