Just 20 years after "The War to end all wars," the world has yet again found itself in conflict: How did it happen? How did the Allies emerge victorious?

Read the MastroHistory Magazine's special WWII edition to find out!

Introduction: The events of 1939-1945 changed the landscape of the world. The world saw the meteoric rise of perhaps the greatest evil it had ever seen, and the courageous men and women who stood up to ensure its demise. In the early years of the war, the Axis powers had all but taken over the European continent, but in just a few years, the tide turned and the Allied forces emerged victorious.

Assignment: In this inquiry based research project, students were tasked with the duty of creating a year by year account of World War II. Students determined the most essential events of their year, and presented the information in magazine format. The magazine included a cover to grab the readers attention, an inside cover that gave an overview of the important events of the year, and two feature stories that deeply analyzed important events of their choosing. In the end, the class completed a magazine encompassing the full scale of World War II.
