Wisconsin World War II Stories
THE PACIFIC
Author: Victoria Zuleger Straughn
When the war in Europe ended in the spring of 1945, Americans
were jubilant, but there was also an awareness that our soldiers
would not necessarily come home. The war in the Pacific raged
on, and victory there was still to come. The third video in
the Wisconsin World War II Stories examines the Pacific Theater
through the stories of sailors, pilots, medical personnel, and
U.S. Marines who served there.
These lesson plans are designed to be used with Wisconsin
World War II Stories: Part III: Pacific, a video series created
by Wisconsin Public Television and the Wisconsin Historical
Society, in association with the Wisconsin Dept. of Veterans
Affairs. The lessons in this part of Wisconsin World War II
Stories span interest areas and levels. They include geography,
technology, and human interest studies, and draw upon a wide
array of social studies skills. Information on the series can
be found at: http://www.wisconsinstories.org/worldwar2/index.cfm.
