TERM SHEET WORLD WAR II
One of your major unit assignments will be to define each of the following terms. These
terms should be done as we study the unit and presented here not only as a major
assignment (64 points) but as a chronological guide to the unit. We will be having two
tests on WWII. Terms #1-32 will be due before the first test and terms #33-64 will be
due before the second test.
The terms should be defined in the context of how they are covered in the unit. For
example Czechoslovakia DO NOT define as merely a country in Eastern Europe but what
significance does it hold in WWII.
