Rise to World Power:  How does the fighting in WWII compare to WWI?

Tasks: 

  • Review Road to War comparison from Friday's class.
  • Compare and contrast America's involvement in WWI and WWII by completing the comparison chart in your notes.

  • Supplement notes with a comparison of the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters.
    • Unlike WWI, America fought a two-front war - one in the Atlantic and one in the Pacific.  I will use slides to illustrate the differences between the two fronts.
  • End class by exploring the degree to which WWII was a race war by exploring examples in popular culture.  The race war helps explain decisions being made throughout the war.

Reminders: 
  • Test Corrections due March 1.
  • AP Test Registration due March 8.
