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.
