US History (Wednesday, April 19, 7th period)
"Your exam might be next week, but we still have most of the 20th Century to cover," Josh said, "so strap yourselves in and prepare to take notes."
He pointed at the board where he had scrawled World War II, then back at the class. "Because the first one just wasn't enough."
Josh then proceeded to whip the class through Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Eisenhower, Pearl Harbor, Midway, D-Day, FDR, Truman, dropping a couple of nuclear bombs on Japan and the lasting legacy of the Holocaust in an hour.
He looked pretty impressed with himself.
"One question for you all, then feel free to discuss what you think the lasting importance of World War II was--if Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, why did the United States first enter World War II in the European Theater, rather than the Pacific?"
