 * Day 1:** We watched today about how the Japanese, Germans, and Italians took over certain parts of the country. German, who was led by Adolf Hitler, destroyed many places and tried to take over Great Britain. Great Britain fought back, they didn't win but Hitler decided to leave Britain and go other places. Italy also conquered many places. The Japanese where the ones who bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. More then 2,400 Americans where killed. This however just made America even more mad.


 * Day 2:** The Bataan Death March. The United States soldiers where sent on a march by the Japanese after they gave up. Many where killed in different ways. Approxamently 11,000 men where killed in the march and many more soon died in the O'Donnell camp. In the camp many died from disease and starvation since the Japanese didn't keep their part of the agreement.

**Day 3: The Guadal Canal... a very bloody and tragic battle with the United States and the Japanese. We where trying to stop the Japanese from creating an airfield that if they completed, they could send war plains against Australia and stop our shipping dock's so we wouldn't be able to help our troops or even get to the place. The United States took back the field and where told to defend it at all costs. The United States did, but they lost a lot of men but we also killed a lot of the Japanese soldiers that where sent to take back the land. Later we won the battle of Gaudal Canal. **


 * Day 4:** D-Day, d-day doesnt stand for anything, it was the invasion of the Allied forces on France. The allied forces bombed and did their bests to defeat the Germans. Many men have gotten lost and where fending to survive. On the beaches, the Allied Forces where getting Slaughtered. But because the ships disobeyed their orders and stayed and bombarded the German Strongholds. We finnally pushed them back and moved in.


 * Day 5:** The battle of the Bulge, One of the most famous battles in World War 2. Around 19,000 Allied men lost their lives in this fight. It was a bloody battle... The Axis powers almost won, then we pushed back. We won in the end, but we lost many good men.


 * Day 6:** The battle of Iwo Jima. The United States vs The Empire of Japan. The United states had a strength of around 100,000 men while the Japanese only had around 22,000. This was another bloody battle. This war was fought because the United States needed a safe route from the Marina Islands. This battle was the battle in which the United States lifted the flag up on a hill on the island.

 * Day 7:** The Holocaust. During World War 2 their where many concentration camps. In these camps where Jews, Prisoners of war, Handicapped people, and soviet soldiers, who were sent here by force. These camps where known of the Holocaust. Many people died but many people went into hiding to hopefully prevent from getting caught. This was one of the most sick thing that has ever happened. The men that where in the concentration camps where starved to death, killed in gas chambers, shot, burned to death, and many other ways.
