WWII How did the aggressive expansion of Italy, Germany and Japan lead to the outbreak of WWII? How did military decisions and new military technologies impact the outcomes of World War II? How can we properly acknowledge the immense human cost of World War II today? World War II is the most devastating and significant event in the history of the 20th Century. It left approximately 60 million people dead across the globe, uprooted over 50 million from their homes and caused property damage in the tens of billions of dollars. How the conflict started along with the main military and political implications of the war will be our focus for the first half of the unit. How people today can begin to try and make sense of and learn from this type of enormous suffering and devastation will be the focus of a project we undertake for the second half of the unit.
