READING ASSIGNMENT: 

Module 4 Assignment on World War II 

The Assignment on World War II includes two short-answer question.

 Each answer will be worth 5 points. Base your answer on the information presented in the World War II Sway Lesson. Each answer should be about 2 paragraphs long. Do not use outside sources. Be sure to use specific examples included in our lesson (including the assigned readings and videos). 

Answer the questions in your own words. 

1) What is problematic about the idea that WWII was primarily a war of the Western democracies (i.e. U.S. and Britain) against the Nazis? In other words, why is that claim too simplistic? Discuss at least two examples to support your answer. 

2) What did Executive Order 9066 do? What was life like in internment camps? What did the Supreme Court, in 1944, rule in Korematsu v. United States? What were the “lessons” of Japanese Interment according to the Council on Foreign Relations’ Jim Lindsay? 

Requirements: Formatting: 12-point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, one-inch margins. Points will be deducted if not formatted correctly.
