The monument was built by many thousands of workers many, many of which died in the process, but the original architects were Gutzon and Lincoln Borglum.]]> 2017-12-12 15:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215442612 20190512 https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215443751 In this picture it shows the bombing of a United States Naval vessel during the winter of 1941, in a sneak attack brought upon the U.S. committed by the Japanese . This attack was done on one the biggest fleet that the United States. To be honest about this photo, like when I saw it out of the hundred or so pictures I have seen this like impacted me the most, because as it revealed to me the despair of this photo and questioning how can people do this to others when they are not expecting it.
The USS Shaw under attack at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii December 7, 1941]]> 2017-12-12 15:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215443751 photograph by Yosuke Yamahata 20203004 https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215444164
Yosuke Yamahata was a Japanese best known for xtensively photographing Nagasaki the day it was bombed. On August 10, 1945, a day after the Nagasaki bombing, Yamahata began to photograph the devastation. This photo was on August 10, 1945, it shows the destruction of Nagasaki the day after it was bombed  by the us. The bombing of Nagasaki was the last major act of WW2. This photograph is a depressing, and gloomy site to see. People losing their lives or losing their homes and they are affected by the bombing and they are suffering. ]]> 2017-12-12 15:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215444164 https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215446576
The photographer is Yevgeny Khalid who is a war correspondent during WW2

This photo was taken May 2 1945 over the Nazi capital over Berlin when the Red Army won the battle of Berlin and ended the Second World War in Europe. It was one of bloodiest battles in history and it ended the Nazi war machine.

This photo showed how evil was overcome by the people joining together to fight for the common good, it showed the downfall of Nazi Germany and one of world's greatest evils vanquished.

Sargent of the invasion of Normandy. This event was one of the major turning points of the second World War. It was also one of if not the most bloody day in American history.]]> 2017-12-12 15:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215455207 posted by sports Illustrated 20203004 https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215458408
Baseball was the biggest sport during the time. Jackie Robinson played for the Brooklyn Dodgers and was the first African American to play in a major league sport. He was also the first baseball player to be on a postage stamp. He had an batting  average of .311. Yes, it does seem baseball was a boys/men sport mainly, but believe it or not, they had the All-American Girls Baseball League. Women or Girls that played this sport had to wear dresses, which was the fashion for women back then, and attend Charm School.

Dr Wernher Von Braun was a brilliant nazi scientist who developed V-2 rockets during the war, after the war he was captured by American soldiers and brought back to the US where he helped developed new rockets to help bring the US into space and later to the moon.

His work is still used today by scientists around the world and he is one of the greatest minds the world has ever known.

During the holocaust hundreds of thousands of children died from 1933 to 1945 due to the Nazi extermination, this photo shows how children were rounded up and killed off in the thousands, it is one of humanities most terrible deeds. The power this event had will forever be in our history. ]]> 2017-12-12 15:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215466458 20190512 https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215804164 This photo shows the devastation people have had to witness during this sneak attack the Japanese brought upon the United States. Though this attack was devastating it allowed us as Americans to put our differences aside and come together to fight against a common enemy.

American Photographer, best known for the photo of soldiers putting up an American flag on Iwo Jima, which was taken during the battle of Iwo Jima. He usually covers the United States Army, and the U.S Marine Corp. This information doesn’t change my initial understanding of the photograph.
The photo is a picture of soldiers putting up an American flag on Iwo Jima during the Iwo Jima battle during World War II. They captured Iwo Jima from the Imperial Japanese Army. 
The photo gives a sense of pride to be an American, victory in a hard fought battle and heroism.

Two important factors in the battle of Stalingrad were the cold weather and snipers. The photo isn’t shocking or give a sense a motivation but gives an accurate representation of the struggles on war. https://padlet.com/20190512/i40z62wakwbk/wish/215806479
