Website Overview:
America at War is a project created for Da Vinci Charter Academy Juniors to learn about
the different wars from America’s past and present. The main war discussed on this site
is World War 2 which lasted from 1939 to 1945 and was the oldest war studied in the
project. This website was created to inform people about what happened during
World War 2 by describing the main events that occurred before, during, and after the war with a timeline,
giving a summary and creating a movie pilot of the book Catch 22 by Joseph Hellerman that
depicts life during the war, describing the foreign policies during that time period, showing some
examples of music written about the war, and lastly giving a first hand example of what it
was like for soldiers with an interview from a veteran of World War 2. This project was
written with the goal of answer the following four questions:
How does war impact the individual?
How does war impact society?
What is the cost of war?
Can war, with all of its destruction, be beneficial?
