How have people and countries changed since the end of World War 2? By: Brady

What do we know?

America dropped and atomic bomb on Japan to make Japan quit. America and Japan were huge rivals during the war.

What do we want to know?

How did the aftermath of World War 2 affect today. Is Afghanistan such a war torn country because of the end of World War 2?

How will I learn the information

I will look on good websites and maybe ask an expert.

What did we learn

What action did we take?

What questions do we still have?

Germany was left to rebuild nation. This rebuilding process took a long time to get things back to normal. Germans immigrated to the U.S after the war. about 1,161,000 people immigrated to U.S from 1949-1960's . So the German population went down. A lot of East Germany was given to Poland, so territory has changed in Germany.Transportation networks were severely damaged. It was more difficult to get around Japan, but now transportation is fine now.  Okinawa was returned to Japan in 1972. When Japan lost it back in 1894. 5/7 of Tokyo's population left the ruined city after the War. Imagine if nobody left Tokyo, Tokyo would have around 20 million people!It took 30 years for Soviet Union to return population back to pre - warn numbers. A quarter of the  country's captital resources had  been destroyed. 12,400,000 civilians were killed during the war.  a lot of USSR 's population was warn down from the war. This meant it's population was warn down. WW2 affects Soviet Union's population. Unbelievable. Although many deaths occurred, Soviet Union became a leading world power.22% of Poland's population was killed. 90% of the deaths were civilians. Poland remained under Soviet Union control. Poland territory was changed immediately after the war. Poland now has more land land than before WW2
80% of China's deaths were by civilians. Imagine what China would be like today without any civilian deaths in WW2 ! China created The Peoples Republic of China. China helped North Korea in the Korean war. If the Peoples Republic of China wasn't made, they wouldn't be allies in the Korean War.

The very first thing I did was watch a Youtube video about countries after WW2. I got a whole page of notes from the video! Then I looked at a top 10 site of the most affected countries by World War 2. I did 4 of the countries from the top 10 that I think almost everybody should know. I also did one more that not that many people would know about and it was number one on the top 10 list.       ( Soviet Union.) After I found facts I made a website and put all my facts down that I found. I also did a page on people affected by World War 2.
I wonder if they are going to have a World War 3? I also still want to know if some countries military aren't aloud to go into different countries that were rivals in the war in their free - time? Why was Soviet Union such a leading World power at the end of World War 2 when they had the most deaths out of any country in World War 2.
Reflection: This project was really fun. I still can't believe that so many people died in this war. During this passion time project, I learned a ton more about World War 2 and technologies. It was really fun using Quick Time. Some of the struggles in this round were that I really didn't have that much time. I just feel like my website could be so much better if I had more time. The easiest part about this round was making my website. It was just so fun making my website. I think when you're having fun it makes what you're doing easy.

Well thought-out project. Very good topic to do a project on. I didn't know that almost all of the deaths were civilian deaths.

Nice job! Your topic was extremely intriguing and the website was well organized. Have you thought of the economic impacts that faced the countries both involved and not involved with the war? Again, good job!

Thank you. Some economic impacts were that America spent an estimate of nearly 31 billion dollars. Japan was left to rebuild a large part of it because of the atomic bomb drop by America. I don't know how much that would cost but I would think a lot.

You did such a good job! I have one question though, how did you get interested in World War 2? Do you have some kind of relative who faught in it? Do you just like history? Otherwise, your notes and video was very well organized, good job!

Thanks. There were like 20 more countries that I didn't list. I just did the ones that people would know about. I don't know if you knew what Soviet Union is but that was the most affected country but became a leading world power at the time.

Wow, Nice job Brady! I really enjoyed learning about your passion time project. It was really interesting. I loved how you put so much effort and time into this project although I wish you would add a but more to how the people changed after WWII. I also loved your information. It was extremely deep and full of facts. So overall, I think you did a fantastic job on this. :)

Also, when you said that 22% of Poland's population wasn't much, think of this. The Polish population is much less than the American one, but if we had another war and America lost 22% of it's population, that means that around 70,158,000 would be dead.

I like the way you took your time to research your project and get amazing answers. I also think you should be more descriptive on how people died. Lastly I love the questions you asked like I wonder if they are going to have world war 3.
