Advanced American History

After turning the tide in WWII in the east at Stalingrad and in North Africa and Italy in 1942-43, the allied offensive continues in 1944-45 in watershed events like D-day, the Battle of the Bulge, and the ultimate end of the war in May or 1945.  We will discuss this today as well as the continued action in the Pacific.

1.  WWII Quiz #3
2.  Videoclip -- Civilians at war (Japan).  This clip features the idea that all sides engaged in the targeting of civilians during the Second World War.  From the Holocaust to the Japanese invasion of Japan to the Allied firebombing and atomic bombing of Axis cities, WWII was ultimately the deadliest war in world history.
