BLOG 15

Semester DOS, Blog #15
Many aspects of our modern world can be traced wholly or in part to World War 2 and it's aftermath. Take a look at the following list and select one section that interests you most. Write a blog entry in which you explain why it interests you, what you already know and what you hope to learn about it in the near future. Optional, but highly encouraged: post pictures, images, and links to helpful resources.

A partial list:

* Technology (like nuclear energy)
* International organizations and agencies (like the UN)
* International agreements (like the Geneva Convention)
* Modern ideas of war & war crimes (hint: Nuremberg Trials)
* Postwar rebuilding (hint: Marshall Plan)
