Ending the War Comparison Name: _______________
The End of the Second World War, in many ways, was very different from the end of the First World War over 25 years earlier. In this assignment, you will compare two different characteristics of the ends of World War I and World War II.
To complete this task, you will once again use the mind mapping software Smart Ideas to create a mind map that illustrates your understanding of two characteristics of the end of these wars. The two characteristics that you will compare are:
1. The treatment of returning soldiers
2. The conditions under which victory or loss in the war were decided
Your mindmap will need to begin with the central concept of “Ending the War” and then branch out to the two main themes. From each theme, there should be branches for World War I and World War II. Joined to the branch for each war will be listed the characteristics of that theme for each war.
Once you have created your mindmap, copy it into the space below.
Based on your mindmap of the characteristics of the ends of both World War I and World War II, pick one of the two themes and use that theme to answer the question below:
