History

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

WWI: That it started over something that seemed really small [assassination of the archduke of Austria] and how Germany tried to drag on the war despite that it seemed like they were obviously losing.

WWII: That one man was able to bring up a nation to start a war [Hitler and the Nazis] and that almost everywehre else lots of other countries were already having wars.


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

WWI: I already learned about it but a refresher course would be nice.

WWII: I don't know too much about it, so I want to learn about how the war started/proceeded, and about the other wars going on at the time [like in China and Japan].

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.

I think WWII spawned the United Nations, which is an important political party/union/group of people [I'm not sure which one?], and it set off eras in history like the Roaring 20s [which popularized materialism] which soon set off the Stock Market Crash, which affects our economy today.

I don't know much else other than that though.
