When it is done. Don't you people realize this is not a movie and it doesn't get resolved in 2 hours and 5 minutes? When we ended WWII, it took almost 10 years to get both Germany and Japan running on their own again.\n\nAnd for those of you who think what's happening in Iraq is new or unique, you are wrong! At the end of WWII in Germany, there was a long fight with militant Nazi's who still wanted to fight the war. They bombed civilians who helped the allies, assassinated members of the new German government, and tried to terrorize the country as a whole. This went on through the end of the 1940's. They called themselves, "The Werewolves"\n\nHere is a great website detailing the parallels between post-war Germany and Iraq:\n\nhttp://www.talkingproud.us/International090103.html

Well, winning World War II set the United States up to be a world power.  It also helped ushered in a great deal of long-overdue reforms in Europe, and today a European Federal Constitution is now a very real possibility.  Further still,  had Hitler succeeded, he would have undoubetly gone on to destroy the United States indescriminatently.  He would not have spared a single American, even those who resembled his ideal race, because they had grown up in a culture that was, in his eyes, dirty and corrupt (not to mention we were his sworn enemy).  This is one of the many instances in which money plays no role, so the 2.6 trillion figure you site is meaningless.  And even though the use of atomic weapons is still controversial, that alone does not aide your case 'was stopping _Hitler_ worth it.  I'm frankly shocked and appauled that someone could use their freedom of speech, something that wouldn't be enjoyed in a Hilter-ized America, in such a blatantly ridiculous manner.

Is 9th grade World History? (It is for ninth graders in our school.) If so, I would do something on the Holocaust. Plenty of tragedy, and eventually triumph.\n\nIf 9th grade is American History, something on 9/11 would be good.

There will not be a WW3 as the defintion of WW1 and 2 is that they were the 1st and second World Wars in the 20th Century, we are now in the 21st Century!  I don't think anything like that will happen again, the stakes are too high now with nuclear weapons.  If it did happen there would not be the same community survival spirit due to the selfishness of modern society.  I however wish we still had the grit and determination along with community spirit wichi existed during both World Wars.\n\nTo answer the question, if there were another big War like WW2 I would do what I could to survive and support my countrys efforts (unless we are the bad ones in which case to hell with survival, I'd be in the resistance!).

there were a lot of contributions to the defeat of germany in WWI. a lot was more internal, like the German Revolution. the website talks about this and other events.

You've got a ton of stuff happening during the first half of the century.  Everything involving both world wars, the first flight, the Bolshevik Revolution, the San Fransisco Earthquake, the stock market crash, the depression on both sides of the Atlantic, lots of stuff.\n\nWhat are you interested in?  It helps a lot if the subject is interesting to you.  Do you want something military, cultural, political, technological, scientific?

3) Growing Terrorism - Hmmm...could we be doing anything to piss anyone off so that they would want to kill us? Last I checked we hadn't invaded any...oh, nevermind...or bombed any weddings...Oops, nevermind again...well at least we haven't tortured any...Ah, I give up.

Not sure how you define a war as 'great' - least tragic would seem a better category.\n\nIn terms of size/effort etc etc it wouldn't even make the top 10 in history.\n\nPeace out
