Advanced American History
To conclude our study of WWII, we conducted a class discussion on the firebombing and atomic bombing of Japan at the conclusion of the war. The basis for discussion was rooted in a few minutes of commentary from the documentary Fog of War. The clip viewed in class is below:
Reminder: WWII Exam Friday!
American Studies
WWII finally ends August 15th, 1945, with the unconditional surrender of Japan. After years of fighting, turning the tide in places like Midway and Guadalcanal, island hopping in places like Saipan, Guam, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the war finally concludes after firebombing and the use of atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After a brief overview of these facts, we spent the remainder of class reviewing for Friday's exam. Be sure to complete study guides prior to the test!
Great Issues
Falling wages and increasing productivity of American workers has been a disturbing trend in recent years. How does the current budget debate in Wisconsin fit into this broader argument? What are the positions, and how does this relate to things we discussed in class, like years of globalization, rising debts and deficits, etc.?
