8th Grade SS WWII Unit Information Milestones Domain/Weight: History 47% Purpose/Goal: World war II had a major impact on the state of Georgia. While suffering though the Great Depression, many Georgians watched with interest or fear about the events that were taking place in Europe and Asia. Hitler’s Nazi Party had risen to power during the 1930s and sparked another world war with the 1939 attack on Poland. In the Pacific, Japan was focused on China, though Americans began to realize that they may set their sights on other islands in the Pacific, including American territories. Though America was technically neutral during the first years of the war, Roosevelt was “lending” military aid to Great Britain. America finally officially entered the war with the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. As with World War I, once war was declared Georgians sprang into action. Many Georgians fought and died in the Army, Navy, and Marines. The military camps that were in the state became bases due to the large influx of military men and material. Georgia also became more industrialized as the Bell Aircraft company started building bombers and the navy ship yards in Brunswick and Savannah built “Liberty Ships” to aid in the war effort. Toward the end of the war, Georgia began to learn about the Holocaust and the horrific events that took place in Europe. Some of the survivors made their way to the United States, and to Georgia, to live and they told their stories. The unspeakable evil of the Holocaust led to some Georgians reevaluating their own racial policies and beliefs. Finally, in 1945, popular president and adopted Georgian Franklin Roosevelt died at his home, “the Little White House,” in Warm Springs, Georgia. Roosevelt developed some of his New Deal programs, especially for rural farmers, based on his experiences in the state. Roosevelt’s death led to great mourning in Georgia and the rest of the United States. The man who was President during the Great Depression and World War II was gone. For this standard, students should be able to describe the impact of the event lead to the American involvement in World War II, evaluate the importance of military installations in Georgia during the war, and the role played by Georgians Carl Vinson and Richard Russell. Students should also understand the impact of the Holocaust on Georgians. Finally, students should be able to Presidents Roosevelt’s ties to the state.

What does this mean and how did the “reflection” impact Georgia? (DOK 3) Sample Response: People in Georgia could not in all honesty criticize the way the Nazis treated Jewish people when blacks were treated so poorly in Georgia. When Georgians started “looking in the mirror”, the reflection made people start to examine their own racial practices. The Governor of Georgia at the time established the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust to educate people about the Holocaust creating an awareness of the event. 4 SS8H9c.
