Lessons From Ww2

Decent Essays
My favorite eighth grade lesson was when we were learning about World War 2 and the Vietnam war. I liked them both because I found both interesting to learn about. The reason why I found WW2 interesting was because I was surprised that this was one of the more deadly wars and how widespread it was. I found the Vietnam war interesting because it was fought in trees which was guerrilla warfare. Also because we learned that they used napalm which caused many deaths. We also learned that people's opinions about this war were very different. I also like this lesson because Mr. M dressed up as a hippie because hippies were very popular during this time period. I enjoyed many lessons but these two were my favorite.

    During World War II, one of the most reprehensible violations of civil liberties occurred in history. The event occurred around the early 1900s, the U.S. government was producing a lot of media productions, violence began erupting, and certain ethnic races were being questioned on their American patriotism. On December 7, 1941 hundreds of Japanese warplanes attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, near Honolulu, Hawaii. The government, at the time, was very nervous about anti-American rebellious acts, so they did everything in their power to withhold such acts. After the attack there was speculation and rumors that Japanese Americans were going to sabotage the war effort.…

    The First and Second World War contributed greatly to the advancement of women and minorities’ civil rights as they made the nation assume a war economy that opened up a broader range of job opportunities, amended the social discrimination of African Americans in the army, and bolstered women’s participation on the political matters of the war as they protested for peace and equality. Such advancements were inconceivable during the Antebellum Period, a time when women were limited to domestic or low paying jobs, African Americans were enslaved by plantation owners and stripped of their human rights, and politics was dominated by white men who debated about equality with no discretion from either women or…

    World War II, notably the most crucial epoch of the 20th century, marked the beginning of rapid technological advances and set the basis that permitted post-war cultural, social and political changes. Post-war transformations include: the collapse of European colonialism, civil rights movement, contemporary women’s rights movement, and the development of tension between the superpower nations regarding distinct political ideologies. Although the war is named ‘World War’, not all countries were directly involved. The primary belligerents were the Axis countries— Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan, and the Allied nations—the Great Britain and its commonwealth states, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union.…

    In the Cold War’s passing, the idea of historians bringing to light the truth of what happened during it without the influence of political barriers setup. This brought the hope that a more open study of the period may bring about a new comprehension, with the new evidence available. In 1945: The War That Never Ended, Gregor Dallas takes a new approach to the view of World War II and the Cold War that followed, starting from the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact of 1939 to the end of the 1950s. In these years, he describes the Soviet Union’s war against the Western World.…

    What Is Western Expansion

    For me, the most compelling and insightful lesson was lesson 4, the Western Frontier and Expansion. While I hate to admit this, I never paid attention during my history lessons and therefore had incredibly limited knowledge of western expansion and manifest destiny. Through this lesson I was able to look through the perspective of the American settlers as they began expanding into territory that they believed was their god given right. I learned about the powerful religious pull experienced by the colonists and that the doctrine was built on three principles; faith in the Bible, faith alone, and faith in the priesthood. This "faith" many will argue, is merely a poor excuse for the brutal and usually unjust treatment of the Native American Indians.…
