It might describe people, places, settings, technology and more. It might include the other person's life, perspective or questions.

Semester DOS, Blog #15

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.

Technology (like nuclear energy)

The only really thing i know about nuclear energy is bombs/explosions, jets/airplanes. Im pretty sure that during WWII they had spend tons of money on these products to bomb allies at war. I want to know how much they spent on these products of nuclear energy. Also to find out how they got all the money, because i'm assuming that it costs a lot of money to built ships and airplanes and also weapons. I would also like to know allmost ever bomb and ship used during WWII and how much effect it had on the war.

1. What are the most interesting aspects of World Wars 1 and 2?

World War 1: World War 1 was also known as the Great War or the First World War.
The war went from 1914-1919. The fighting lasted until 1918.
The Allies were on one side and the Central Powers were on the other.
By the end of the war it had become the second most bloodiest conflict in history.

World War 2:
Germany invited Poland which started World War 2.
More then 60 million people died.
Within a week Britain and France were at war. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa had also joined the war.

2. What do you hope to learn about these wars?

I hope to learn about how a lot of people died. And about bombs guns and explosives.

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.
