Twentieth Century Project

Choose an event or person:

Battle of Verdun
Burning of the Reichstag
Night of Broken Glass
Winter War
Benito Mussolini
Hideki Tojo
Battle of Midway
Josef Mengele
Operation Valkyrie
Battle of Castle Itter

Answer the following questions with a slide each. Every slide should have complete sentences
and at least one image.

Who? What? When? Where? Why?

Who, What, When, and Where should be 1-2 sentences for each slide. Why is the most
important; my expectation is no less than 6 sentences for this slide. The Why slide counts for half
of the project.

Possible options:
Who was this person (if you have a single person)? Who was involved (if an event or other)?
What is the person most known for (if assigned a person)? What generally happened (event or
other)?
When was this (when the person was born and/or when they died, or when did the event
happen)?
Where did it happen (where was the person generally located/where did the event occur)?
Why is the person/event important to history?
