World War II is one of the most chaotic times the Earth has ever been through. Four years of atrocities that most members of society couldn’t ever imagine. What caused the world to engage in a war after the horrifying stories of fighting from World War I? What were the origins of this second war? What caused the United States to become involved? World War II is an important time in the world’s history. Many occurrences can be looked back upon, and significant changes might have occurred from studying this period of time. With the use of books, video, and numerous primary sources, a great deal of knowledge can be gained when studying World War II. It is important for students to study World War II so the same mistakes that occurred then will not be allowed to happen today. This time frame can also provide society with a sense of identity. Men went to fight for their country, and women and children kept factories running to provide supplies for the soldiers overseas, and also, keep the American economy going forward. History helps understand different societies and people. By studying an event like the holocaust, a great effort can be made to make sure something like that never happens again.
