This week we will look at some of the turning points in WWII for the Allies. We will examine the effects of the war on the homefront, as the U.S. would become the "Arsenal of Democracy." We will then discuss the D-Day invasion to liberate Europe from the Nazis, the Soviet invasion of Berlin from the East, & we will discuss the brutal Pacific theater that looked like it had no end in sight, until the most secret weapon of the war was used not once, but twice. We will discuss the "causes & consequences" of the use of atomic bombs on Japan. Although it put an end to the war, it also created an entire new age: The Cold War.
