第二次世界大戦の歴史: サマーキャンプ! ミッドウェー海戦: 太平洋戦争の転換点 第二次世界大戦中 - 第二次世界大戦 - WW2

Learn all about one of the most exciting and important battles of World War 2! Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States was thrust into a war with a very skilled enemy – the Empire of Japan. Following the Doolittle Raid and the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway would occur in early June, 1942. This was a vast operation involving more aircraft carriers then had ever been deployed against each other. Naval warfare had taken a shift… It was no longer the mighty battleship that ruled the seas, but aircraft carriers and their planes that were now kings of the ocean. This is an incredible story of the largest carrier battle that ever took place up to that point in history. The structure will include two immersive sessions which will cover the events leading up to the battle, the battle itself, and the result of the battle.  The sessions will cover:

Session # 1 

The Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor
The Doolittle Raid
The Battle of the Coral Sea

Session # 2

The Battle of Midway:
Japanese Miscalculations
Codebreaking: JN25
The importance of Radar
The Task Groups
The Battle, and...
the Outcome!


I teach by using slides, original photographs, video clips, discussions and more. There will be several question/answer periods during the session to address questions and comments. Some prior knowledge of WWII helpful, but not a must. As the teacher, I will be dressed in an original WWII uniform for the session.
