Many thanks to any who care to help her out. ;) [/B][/QUOTE
Yeah um...sorry about the caps, i dont knwo how to do the colo thingy. Most of them I answered, but some of them i clueless. :(

[Sui Generis]

Wanna know something completely pathetic that I know.....Harry Truman's middle name is "S" there is no period at the end...funny huh

[Roxie Faye]

Wow. those are soem qwuestions. If you don't mind, Cera, could I print them out and give them to my Social Studies teacher(I'm in middle school, that's why I don't say history teacher)?

Well, since a lot of people already answered the questions, I don't think I need to answer them all.

On number 24, it reads: [B]What was [were] the name[s] given to the camps Germans sent Jews to?[/B] I don't know if this is correct, but i'm 99.9% sure it is: Well, the term you're all familiar with is the concentration camps, but I am told by a survivor of the Holocaust(we ahd a survior come and talk to us about the Holocaust that school), there were different types of camps. I'm not sure how many types, but I do remember that yes, there were concentration camps(also known as Death camps), but she said that there was a camp called a work camp, where they didn't kill you, they just worked you. Like I said, I'm pretty sure that's the correct answer but, if not, please corrrect me.

Well, I also thought up two trivia facts about WWII.

**Trivia 1** After the Atomic bombs were dropped on Japan and WWII ended, Eistien has said: "I don't know what WWIII will be faught with, but I do know WWIIII will be fought with sticks and stones." I'm sure that he also meant to put in: IF we ever get to a WWIIII

**Trivia 2** In the Japanese part of WWII, America was actually the first ones to fire the first shot. I believe that a US submarine or ship spotted another ship or submarine(can't remember which) in Pearl Harbor(a Japanese ship, of course), ON the day of the Pearl Harbor attack, and when it failed to reveal it's idenity, the US ship or submarine(like I said, I can't remember which one it was) attacked the ship/sumbarine. of course, a few hours later, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the war REALLY began.

[Kent]

im sorry roxieo... i dont think that the u.s. was the first to stike. in fact, japan sent a representitive to the u.s. a few hours before the attack and the u.s. rep. (sec of defense or something) made them wait outside his office for a substaintal amout of time, enough that when the ***. bombers had actually struck, the reps. hadnt yet declared war.
we would have gotten the declaration of war just before the strike. also, the japanesse were going to do a full sneak attack but officials in their gov. believed it wouldnt be a good idea to get us that mad.
also, hitler told the japanesse that they should attack russia and leave the u.s. out until the whole of europe was under axis control. the japanesse didnt listen believing they could strike one, massive attack and completely disable us.
oh well. just thought youd want to hear.

Thanks for the info. I still think that we struck first, but I do appreciate all the other info you added.

My social studies teacher told us about the US striking first, and the guy knows a LOT about history, so i belive him. And if he's wrong, well then... sucks for me, now doesn't it? :P

[color=deeppink]Einstein's comment was extremely profound. He didn't say "if" we have WWIII because he was speaking hypothetically. Situations like that are implied.

About the Pearl Harbor thing, that reminds me of a topic I posted long ago. I asked whether people thought it was a conspiracy in which FDR [i]knew[/i] about the Japanese plan of attack, but failed to do anything about it so that the US could give the citizens an excuse to enter the war.

[color=indigo] I believe FDR new that Pearl Harbor would be bombed. It was almost inevitable that Japan was going to attempt to destroy the naval bases in Hawaii and then attempt to occupy it. Japan needed to at least annhilate every base in Hawaii to halt the US's ability for a quick naval attack, and it really needed to occupy and hold Hawaii to give Japan and Germany an attempt to launch a two pronged attack on the US.

Japan, Nazi Germany, and FDR all new that the US was going to eventually become a focus point in the war. Why Japan and Germany hoped that the US would take even longer then they did to get invovled, FDR had realized long before that the US had to get involved in both the conflicts in the Pacific and Europe before the War escalated uncontrollably and the US had to fight a war on our own soil.[/color]

[color=deeppink]This reminded me of another detail. The draft had been started a year and a half [i]before[/i] the attack on Pearl Harbor...keep that in mind ;)[/color]
