=Introduction= When the Great War ended in 1918, a lot of people believed it was the end of all wars. Little did the world know, by the time the next 20 years would pass a second and more catastrophic World War was about to begin. World War II was a war of many ups and downs for both the Allies and Axis Powers. Both sides suffered through times of triumph and defeat, victory and catastrophic loss. There were many great battles, leaders, and issues in this war and it is important for all of the generations who did not experience life during the war, to get a realistic glimpse of just what this time period was like for those who did experience it. = = =Task= Congratulations, you have been asked by the board of the United States National History Museum in Washington D.C. to create an exhibit displaying the major parts and events of the United States and it allies road to victory in World War II. You must be creative in creating this exhibit because you will be competing against 20 other history buffs also asked to create an exhibit. You are to create a wikispace displaying your exhibit, where you will use historical images and artifacts you feel best represent each section of the War. Also apart of the process is evaluating and commenting on your competitors exhibits through each others wikispaces. You will also create a GarageBand podcast describing each section of your wikispace exhibit. Remember, you must stay historically and factually correct, for your exhibit could be the one selected to be put into our National History Museum. Be CREATIVE, and Good Luck! = = =Conclusion= Congratulations, you have all worked very hard in completing your exhibits and the decision by the board and yourselves was not an easy one. Any one of your exhibits would've been a great choice and one that could teach our country everything they need to know about World War II. You should all be very proud of your work and for your efforts we will celebrate with food and refreshments while reflecting on such a great competition.
