I noticed that they used propaganda to caption all their pictures. The Nazis raid against London failed due to the R.A.F (Royal Air Force). This newspaper was made in August 1949. I think that it wasn't at the beginning of the war because it has ads and a lot of propaganda. I think this because the nations had no reason to start at each others throats until the war started. I think that the most important thing here is the one on Mr. Churchill because its about the German air raids going on in Britain.

I noticed that there were a lot more deaths in the Allied powers rather the Axis who had much less resources and food at the time. The Axis thought the limited food had less followers but was much more powerful. I saw that the numbers on the charts were rounded to the nearest million, this makes me think that the war tallied up many deaths that the could not be exact because many bodies were not found. What surprises me was that there were limited resources for the Axis Evil but they still killed many Allied forces and took over many countries.

Japan was a little like New England because when they went to other countries they began to question and learn new things from them. I also think that all countries followed New England in their power spree, trying to get the most land

I can see many racist recruiting propaganda. It is being used to be mean to other countries in the war. Maybe this was why the war lasted so long, since they made mean and racist jokes about each other. I also think that the people in the countries joined the war because the other country made them look bad. In another picture there were the two countries soldiers, one the British, the other, Japanese. In the British's picture the were exiting their crowded boat and the Japanese were in harsh conditions carrying dead bodies in cloaks

there was a letter that was telling people to hide in the bombing shelters during bombings. I think that this was important because it was basically telling you how often they were bombed. It also tells you that the war can make people rather scary and brutal to the countries they face in battle. I think that the war also makes people greedy and poor at the same time i say tis especially in the Nazi ruled countries because everything was rationed.

I noticed that Britain had a lot of money so they could have supported a lot of troops in war time.
