Social Studies 8

Our class has begun our final unit: WWII. We have connected our WWI Unit as a culminating cause of WWII. A themed question that I have posed is: is war ever just(ified)? As Catholics, in what capacity would it be “just”? We will examine propaganda this week with an introduction to Disney’s WWII anti-German Propaganda Program.  (https://www.waltdisney.org/blog/disney-wwii-propaganda-pt1)

This is the video used to connect WWI and WWII, and introduce the initial causes of WWII. (https://illinois.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/the-war-introduction-video-9144/introduction-to-the-war-ken-burns-the-war/)
