Why It Matters Now: During WWII, the United States assumed a leading role in world affairs that continues today. Daily Objectives: 1. I can summarize the Allies’ plan for winning the war. To what did Roosevelt and Churchill agree early in the war? Why was winning the Battle of the Atlantic so crucial to the fortunes of the Allies? 2. I can identify events in the war in Europe. Why was the Battle of Stalingrad so important? What happened in the war in North Africa? What happened after the Allies invaded Italy? 3. I can describe the liberation of Europe. What was D-Day? What happened at the Battle of the Bulge? What happened to Hitler? Do you agree with the decision made by Roosevelt and Churchill to require unconditional surrender by the Axis powers? Why or why not? Think About: The advantages of defeating a foe decisively. The advantages of ending a war quickly. How other conflicts, such as the Civil War and WWI ended.
