Did you give the story about how we won the war or how the Soviets actually won the war? In Europe, I mean. We won the Pacific.

If Jim and Bob are fighting twenty random dudes, and the fight consists of Jim getting beaten up by five of them nonstop, fifteen of them getting annihilated by Bob, and then the first five realizing what happened and giving up before Bob gets to them, does Jim get credit for winning the fight?

Went over the end of WWI, Hitler's rise to power, the buildup to WWII, the war itself, and the Holocaust.

It was 8 million other groups, but yes.

I really didn't have time to talk about that because I only had 25 minutes; I talked about Stalingrad being the turning point of the war and the Soviets taking Berlin. They didn't even know what the USSR was, so it would be hard regardless. I only talked about the US when I got to D-Day and the retaking of Europe.

Barely went over the Pacific, focused mostly on Europe because I asked them what part of history they wanted to learn about and the first serious response I got was "Hitler," so I focused mainly on him.

5th graders probably don't need to full scope.

You cover the A-bombs?

Well damn. I feel like if we had to boil it down to 10 bullet points, a-bombs would have* to be on the list. It basically set foreign policy for the next literally ever.
