Allied forces launched the massive D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 to liberate Europe from German occupation. Over 150,000 troops stormed five beaches in Normandy, facing resistance from entrenched German forces. The beaches of Omaha proved the bloodiest, with around 3,000 casualties, while Utah beach had lighter defenses and losses. By late August, Allied forces had broken out of Normandy and liberated Paris, and finally defeated the last German efforts with the Battle of the Bulge, leading to the defeat of Nazi Germany and liberation of Europe on VE Day, May 8, 1945.
Road to pearl harbor and response
The document discusses the events leading up to the US entry into World War 2 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It describes Germany's blitzkrieg tactics in Europe, the Battle of Britain, and Japan's desire for natural resources that led them to launch a surprise attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 - a date that President FDR declared would live in infamy. It also mentions the internment of Japanese Americans during the war.
Historical scrapbook
This historical scrapbook contains artifacts, diaries, drawings, and poems from several eras:
1. The Victorian Era from 1900-1901, which ended with the death of Queen Victoria.
2. World War 1 from 1914-1918, which began after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and was a violent global conflict that caused many diseases among soldiers.
3. World War 2 from 1939-1945, which started when Hitler invaded Poland and was an even more brutal global war between the Allied and Axis powers, ultimately ending with Hitler's suicide in 1945.
War
The document provides an overview of World War I through various poems, images, and brief passages that capture the brutal realities of trench warfare between 1914-1918. The poems reflect on the loss of life, especially of young men, and the devastating psychological and physical toll the war took on soldiers. Images show the trenches, no man's land between opposing sides, and the development of new, destructive weapons. The selections ask that we honor the memory and sacrifice of fallen soldiers.
WWI Propaganda & Poems
WWI saw extensive propaganda use by both sides to promote and damage causes. There were 5 main propaganda techniques: bandwagon, testimonial, transfer, repetition, and emotional words. WWI poetry reflected romantic and graphic perspectives on the war. The US entry into the war in 1917 provided needed supplies and troops. The war ended on November 11, 1918 with Germany's surrender. The Treaty of Versailles formalized the end but its punitive terms planted seeds for future conflict.
The Tourist Guy Meme
This document describes the evolution of the "Tourist Guy Meme" internet meme over time, starting with the original image of a tourist taking photos and being photobombed by various historical events and figures, such as Bin Laden, Abraham Lincoln's assassination, the Titanic, and natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. It then shows how the meme was later crashed by Homer Simpson and the "Crasher Squirrel Meme", with the tourist also photobombing scenes from famous movies like Godzilla, Independence Day, Ghostbusters, and The Matrix.
Trench Warfare in WWI
Overview of trench warfare in WWI with effects it had on the war and the soldiers involved. At the end, it includes an assignment for students to practice writing a "primary" document.
World war 1 and post war english
The poem describes the horrors of a gas attack on British soldiers during World War 1. It depicts the soldiers stumbling through mud in a chemical attack, struggling to get their gas masks on in time. One soldier is seen drowning in a vision, showing the traumatic effects of combat. The poem criticizes how the glory of war is portrayed to young men, stating it is not sweet and honorable to die for your country. It aims to convey the reality and brutality of warfare.

THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE SECRETS OF AMERICA
This document provides a summary of American history and government that contradicts the standard narrative. It claims that America is not a free country but a privately owned French corporation controlled by European royal families and elites. It alleges two US presidents were not American citizens and that many politicians, judges, and lawyers are secretly working for foreign powers to undermine the country. It aims to expose hidden truths about events and reveal how average citizens have been deceived about the true nature of the US system of government.
Israel 101
The document discusses the history of Jewish settlement in Israel, beginning with the modern Zionist movement in the late 1800s. It summarizes that Jews faced oppression in Europe and the Middle East, so Zionist pioneers began legally immigrating to Israel in increasing numbers to establish agricultural settlements and restore the Jewish homeland. Through hard work, they transformed sparsely populated swampland into thriving towns and villages. The early Zionist pioneers laid the groundwork for establishing the State of Israel despite facing many hardships.

World War One Lecture PP
World War I was caused by militarism, imperialism, and the rise of nationalism in Europe which led to the formation of opposing alliances. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand set off a chain of events that led major European powers to take sides in the war. The initial battle plans failed and resulted in long stalemates and trench warfare along the Western Front. Over 10 million soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the war before an armistice was declared in 1918. The Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh penalties on Germany, sowing seeds for future conflict.

It also includes a chronology of key events from the French Revolutionary Wars from 1789 to 1794.
Chapter 14 sec.3
WWI introduced new deadly technologies that led to trench warfare and mass casualties. On the Western Front, troops dug networks of trenches that stretched for hundreds of miles, with no man's land in between. Attempts to break through enemy lines involved artillery bombardments followed by soldiers going "over the top" into machine gun fire, often resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties. New weapons like tanks, airplanes, chemical agents, and flamethrowers were introduced but often caused as much harm as help due to technical limitations. The war ended in 1918 with an Allied victory following a series of battles that exhausted Germany's military resources.
Chapter 14 sec.3
WWI introduced new deadly technologies like machine guns, tanks, airplanes, and chemical weapons that led to trench warfare and mass casualties. Trench warfare involved opposing forces dug into networks of trenches, launching artillery and waves of soldiers across no man's land at each other. Over time, tanks and improved tactics allowed breakthroughs of trench lines. Germany's defeat in 1918 led to the punitive Treaty of Versailles and formation of the League of Nations, though the US did not join.

The Great War: World War I (1914-1917) was caused by nationalism, imperialism, alliances, militarism, and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. New military technologies and the use of trench warfare led to stalemate and millions of casualties on both sides. The United States entry into the war in 1917 helped tip the balance in favor of the Allies, leading to the defeat of Germany and the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.
