Map #7 "Russia invades Finland in the 'winter war'

# data[].attributes.body
Map #7 shares information about the "Winter War". I didn't know that Russia and Finland fought during this time, nor that it made Finland and Nazi Germany somewhat allies, later impacting Finland as they were not invited to be a part of NATO. --Anna York

Map #24 "The Soviet Union's sacrifice dwarfed that of the Western allies"

# data[].attributes.body
Map #24 shares the number of deaths by the major powers-the USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, USSR, China, Japan, Australia.

Some questions that I had after looking at the map:
1. When talking about the number of deaths, usually we in the US don't really think about the USSR as one of our allies. Why don't we acknowlege their deaths as a part of the death toll on the allied side?
2. How does the number of deaths on the Allied vs. Axis side compare to who won or lost?
3. Why were those countries listed? Australia and Canada were part of the UK at that time, and could have easliy been a part of that number. Why were casualties of other colonial areas (like in Africa, Asia) not counted?
4. What would this map had looked like if counting civilian deaths?--Anna York

Map #34 "6 million Jews die in the Holocaust"

# data[].attributes.body
Map #34 shares percentages of the Jewish population that were killed in different countries/regions of Europe during the war. Since part of my family is Jewish and several of my relatives were killed during the holocaust, I immediately looked at the areas where my family was from--Lithuania and Poland. This was an area with the highest percentage of deaths--80-90%. I know that this was represented by the family that I lost over there. Of the family that I know about, most of them died. There were several who were taken to concentration camps and several who were killed before that.

A bright spot in the map was the mention of Denmark where people were helping to hide Jews and/or help them get to safety.--Anna York

Map # 29 that shares Germany’s V-2 rocket  taught me something new about WWII by explaining that German scientist were busy inventing their own super weapon at the same time the atomic bomb was being made.

# data[].attributes.body
I think map 33, the map of damage done to Hiroshima by the atomic bomb, demonstrates the Japanese and US relations well. The US knew that Japan wasn't going to give up if they bombed a military base so they bombed a civilian city causing much more casualties. While it was tragic, it may have been a necessary evil because if Japan had not surrendered hundreds of thousands more could have died.

Map # 1 that shares World War II, animated is one of the most important in explaining the war because it shows everything that happened throughout the war such as what countries gained more land and it also shows the dates and some details in the animation.

Map #1 shares the background of WWII and it taught me that there were major battles on three continents.

Map #11 which shows the bomb sites in London showed me just how much London was hit during the war. I knew that they were a target of mass bombing but I had no idea that the problem was that severe.

# data[].attributes.body
Map #27 shows all the different sites where the nuclear bomb was developed and the caption says that there were as many as 130,000 people working on it. It raises the question how they kept their larger projects secret with that many people working on it. You'd think that at least a few of them would anonymously contact the press.

Map # 37 that shares how the Korean Peninsula was divided during war due to other countries' influence. This raised the following question of will the North ever become like the South in the future?

Map # 33 that shares that Americans dropped two atomic bombs on the Japan connected to my past learning of a documentary I watched a long time ago about people reactions/stories and how the bomb's side effects lasted generations.

# data[].attributes.body
Map 37 left me with a lot of questions
1. Why did the North chose to stay that way
2. How would Korea be if they would be together

Japan attacked the navys ships and damaged a lot. They did this attack to slow them down and or stop what they were doing. but the US economy was greater than japans so they recovered fast.

-They attacked Tokyo in 1 air raid, but why attack the other smaller cities where their isn't as many people?
-Also the attack on Hiroshima was very big and awful why didn't they do that to Tokyo as well
-^^What were the differences in deaths on Hiroshima and Tokyo?^

Map #26 showed me that the Great Britain developed a radar in 1940. I didn't realize they were that advanced in 1940. I wonder what other things they developed that was never discovered or that they've kept a secret to this day. I also wonder how effective the radar was.

Map #34 shares that 6 million Jews died in the holocaust. Although i'm not Jewish, in 7th grade I did a lot of research on the Holocaust including going to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Map #29 While American and British scientists were inventing the atomic bomb, German scientists were creating the long-range V-2 rocket. Many of the German scientist who had built the V-2 went on to build rockets for the American space program. This taught me something new about WWll by showing me that even someone that used to me an enemy is now a friend.

Map # 2 that shares a lot of factors contributed to the ultimate victory of the Allies over the Axis powers. this is one of the most important in explaining the war because without economics and those weapons there would be no war.

Map #39 that shares America established military bases in Germany to oversee the reconstruction of the country, ensure stability, and prevent another militarist regime from taking hold there. Seven decades later, many of those bases are still there this made me wonder after 7 years how did they keep those military bases going? how do the Americans know they wont get sandbagged.
