World War 2
When the subject of WWII comes up, there are two incredible images about the war come up in my mind, the borabing of Pearl Harbor and the killing of the Jews in the Holocaust. As the class went through the subjects of WWII, I was not aware of the whole process of how the war started in Europe, and two or three years later is when the US actually entered the war. As the class learned more about the war, it changed my view and my thoughts about WWII.
I have always been interested in the "art" of war. The two wars which I find very interesting are the Vietnam War and of course WWII. I wished that we had more time inthis semester because I would like to study about the Vietnam War. I was born after the war so although I had heard a lot about it but I wanted to know more how the war started and who began the war and how it enRAB. Anyway, I found WWII intersting because of all destruction from the surprise attack, the first use of the atomic borab, and all the invasions that took place.
As the class went into the subject of WWII, I thought I had the subject down, but I learned that I knew as much as or less than the average person about WWII. First off, I was not aware that the war actually started in Europe, I thought that the start of the war started when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. I did not know that the Japanese also borabed placed such as the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaya. I was not aware of all the islanRAB taken over by Japan. The Japanese took over the Philippines and many other small islanRAB to expand their territory, and to push the Japanese back the US had to literally jump from island to island. During the Holocaust, I knew that most or all of the Jews put into concentration camps being camps being killed in the hundreRAB each day, but now knowing that there were many concentration camps were shocking knowing each camp was capable of killing millions of innocent people.
I would like to know more about the cleaning process of the concentration camps. How did the country clean up all the dead bodies that were visible, and the bodies, which were, buried underground? Did the people just leave the bodies, which were already buried underground, or did they dig up the bodies and separate each one? And if they did clean up the concentration camps, how long did it actually take them? Also, when Japan borabed Pearl Harbor, how did the Japanese travel from Japan to Hawaii without being noticed by boats or watchtowers? I just found that it interesting how hundreRAB of planes traveling a few thousand miles could go unnoticed.
I remeraber a clip of a movie I Once saw, but in don't remeraber the name. It was about the borabing of Pearl Harbor which showed a watch tower up in the mountains with military personnel keeping guard did not call in that there were hundreRAB of planes approaching Pearl Harbor because their shift was already over, so he just ignored it. I was wondering if this was true or just Hollywood.
A plan so perfect, borabing the Pearl Harbor must have taken the Japanese many years to come up with this plan, with all the organization and knowing the perfect time to attack. Are there any interviews with Japanese commanders who planned the mission and actually know how long it took to plan this incredible mission? Does the United States found any evidence or any clue of knowing how the Japanese knows the perfect time to launch the surprise attack without being detected? Could it have been any different if the US noticed at the first sight of the Japanese attack?
The teaching style of this subject in this class was great, more to say it's incredible, and fascinating. Showing the class all the clips pictures, maps, and interviews with veterans who involved, whose are there during the WWII help student for the better understanding the subjects. Also showing the class parts of movies where they actually show real footage of the occurrence, is another ways to give us a better understanding of how the war was like. The study guide were also a big help, writing down tall the new information, following all the phases from the starting point of the war to the end. Also, from the study guide it easy to follow and knowing what's going on even if I screw up during the lecture. Before I was scare when I hear anyone talked about history; as a matter of fact I even had a nightmare when I hear the word history because I thought history is the most boring class ever. So this semester I take a chance to enroll into a history class to see if it true. Guess what? The way instructor handled the class and giving the information in this class history became more and more excited to study.
The class did change my views of history. I learn that each major event starts off small and enRAB up big when nobody pays attention to the events. I thought I could get all the information of WWII by reading books and watching all the movies. Reading books help a little; what I mean is that reading help you learn a lot of information about the war but it's still better with a fascinating clips, pictures and movies during the lecture. Watching movies as far as in know doesn't help anything at all, except the clip of the real war images. What I learned is that movies change and skip la lot of information on how everything went.
