WWII Letters

I am a nurse that is stationed after the Normandy battle. I chose to be a nurse in WWII because I didn't really want to stay at home and do nothing for the military. I figured it would be a better choice to want to be there in the war. It sounds sort of scary, because of course it is, but I think it would have been more exciting to be helping over seas with the men in the military. I would rather be helping the soldiers one on one rather than staying at home.

In my letter I want to write to my husband thats in the war in a different part of the world. I think that would be interesting. I want to write about how the nurses were sent in 4 days after the Normandy battle to go and help the soldiers that were in need of help.

Semester dos blog #15


International organizations and agencies (like the UN)

I would like to learn more about the international organizations and agencies that started after WWII. I don’t really know that much about the United Nations. I’ve always heard about it but I don’t really know how it began and what the importance of this organization is also. I know that the UN was formed to create peace between the different countries in the world but I think that it would be an interesting topic to learn more about.

I think some of the most interesting aspect of WWII was how it began. I didnt really understand all that went into it with the power hungry leaders wanting to take control of different areas in the world. I didnt know that there was continuous fighting in between the two wars between countries in Europe.

I'm hoping to learn more about the battles in WWII. There are so many and I always get lost trying to remember which ones had different importances in the war.

The wars helped shape the modern world today. There no longer is a USSR and most of the countries that were in WWII are allies now.
