Information about the ghettos and German camps, the weapons they had used, underground pathways, becoming partisans in the forest, and more…

Causes of WWI The force of nationalism was the most influential factor that led to World War I, as it transformed Europe into a group of feuding, war-hungry nations and led to the catastrophic assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

World War I was one of the most barbarous catastrophe that has ever happened. The main countries who participated in the war were the Triple Entente: Great Britain, France, Russia, and later on, the United States, who were against the Central Powers: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire and Italy. Historians believed that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the event that “sparked” the war, but there were many events that happened before the assassination that led to war. The…

Charisma Barron’s research paper covered the The Effects of War Neurosis: World War II. She presented her thesis to where I was able to tell what she was aiming to present. Her argument in the paper was to portray the lives of veterans from world war II. It was evident that Charisma wanted to display the life of a veteran before, during ,and after the war. Charisma introduction was well put together, because I was aware what time period and who she was researching about. Furthermore, as I went…

In unit 5, I learned a lot about the executive order of 9066 during the World War II. In high school and middle school the subject of the Pearl Harbor attack was a little vague compared to what I know now. We only learned the events leading up to the attack and what happen after the attack. We never learned what the Japanese Americans had to go through and how they were discriminated against. They forced to leave their houses, business, farms, schools, and jobs to go into a refugee camp due to…

Though each theme listed is solidified as a…

The assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the spark to ignite the growing flame of what seemed to be required conflict. There was hope that this conflict would solve a large portion of the issues that plagued the European leaders, but what the conflict manifested…
