University Academy World History WWII: Parallel Timelines Mr. Havens Directions: - Create one time line, spaced proportionally (one year every ¾” approx.) with all events for each of the two major “theatres” of the war labeled clearly. - Label the events in the European Theatre above the time line and the events in the Pacific Theatre below the time line. - You may shorten the labels as shown below but please do so sparingly. Carefully plan your timeline to enable you to fit as much of this as possible on your timeline.
