Many aspects of our modern world can be traced wholly or in part to World War 2 and it's aftermath. Take a look at the following list and select one section that interests you most. Write a blog entry in which you explain why it interests you, what you already know and what you hope to learn about it in the near future. Optional, but highly encouraged: post pictures, images, and links to helpful resources.
A partial list:
* Technology (like nuclear energy)
* International organizations and agencies (like the UN)
* International agreements (like the Geneva Convention)
* Modern ideas of war & war crimes (hint: Nuremberg Trials)
* Postwar rebuilding (hint: Marshall Plan)

Semester DOS, Blog #14
Answer each of the following, and cite statistics or sources wherever appropriate:
1. What are the most interesting aspects of World Wars 1 and 2?
2. What do you hope to learn about these wars?
3. How/Why are these wars important today? How do they impact and/or inform our world today? hint: think about alliances, democracies around the world, cultures, international institutions, nuclear (and other) technologies, etc.
1. -Between 1939 and 1945 the Allies dropped 3.4 million tons of bombs, An average of about 27,700 tons of bombs each month.
- There were 433 Medals of Honor awarded during World War 2, 219 of them were given after the receipiant's death
- The youngest US serviceman was 12 year old Calvin Graham, USN. He was wounded in combat and given a Dishonorable Discharge for lying about his age. (His benefits were later restored by act of Congress).
- At the time of Pearl Harbor, the top US Navy command was called CINCUS (pronounced "sink us"), the shoulder patch of the US Army's 45th Infantry division was the swastika, and Hitler's private train was named "Amerika". All three were soon changed for PR purposes.
-German Me-264 bombers were capable of bombing New York City but it wasn't worth the effort.
