WW2 Letters

I am going to be a pilot from the Battle of Midway. I watched a documentary about the battle and it really interested me. This battle was the most decisive battle between the US and Japan. It was the first battle being fought over seas between ship fleets. Us was the underdogs not expected to win.

My letter is going to be kind of a diary from the perspective one one of the pilots that just got back from the battle.

-Postwar rebuilding:

I am really interested in the postwar rebuilding because it shows in the countries now. Randy made a good point when he told us that Japan and Germany have the strongest economies. The reason for this is caused by the process in which the country was rebuilt after a war. He made the relation between the successful countries and North Korea which hasn't really recovered from a war so they are cut off from the rest of the world. I hope to learn more of the reasoning behind this.

1. What are the most interesting aspects of World Wars 1 and 2?
WW1: It was the first war where there were tank battles. It as the first war where there was an estimated trillion dollars in war costs.
WW2:80% of Soviet males born in 1923 didn't survive World War 2

2. What do you hope to learn about these wars?
I hope to learn the causes and effects of the war and how it effected the people.

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.

These wars are what formed our alliances that we still have to this day. Also around the world countries have conflicts and disagreements and these wars are what those stemmed from.
