Where does your school emphasize the World Wars most?

Donnetta Elsasser

World War I and World War II obviously have a place in "World" history. But I find that they take up a ton of space in US History as well. Do you think there is too much time spent on these two events at the expense of something else?

What would be your ideal balance between how the World Wars get taught, and how much emphasis they should be given between the two different courses?

  • I do the four weeks from the old unit pacing, but I focus on a global perspective that the US History version leaves out. We connect it to imperialism and colonialism and international trends in globalization. We look at all theaters, not just where the US was involved. Finally, we focus on how the increased interconnection of the long 19th century creates the conditions for local wars to spread out.
