calendar of events

The goal of the how they tell it series on understanding the past is to allow you to relive the period between the end of World War I to the end of World War II. To say that a lot happened during this time would be a huge understatement so to make sense of it all I have created a fictional super-correspondant named Kona. Kona is amazing, she was at everything that happened during this period of time and has provided links to all the articles, videos and books that explains what was going on during that time. What better way to immerse yourself in this exicting period than to study what every event was that shaped that time?
