Euclid
c.300Bc

Euclid was one of the world's greatest mathematicians. He was mainly famous for his contributions to the field of geometry. He was called "the father of geometry". Euclid wrote about the relationship between the fields of math, astronomy, and music. In addition, Euclid's work was so influential that a branch of geometry was named after him. Related to the past, Euclid was also a teacher for Alexandria The Great. Last of all, some geometry rules we study in school today, are from Euclid's writing.

World War II

The World War II started on September 1st, 1939. Britain and France first declared war on September 3rd. Germany also was part of World War II. Slowly Germany started to takeover Poland, China, Japan, Africa, Europe and other places. Italy and Japan wanted to help Germany for this war. The United States was not part of this war, but when the people in U.S. heard about it, they decided to cut Oil tanks from Japan. The Japanese people got really mad, so they bombed Pearl Harbor. As soon as Japan bombed Pear Harbor, in Hawaii, the people in United States got really frustrated. Now you may ask, "why did they bomb Pearl Harbor, why not somewhere else?" Let me explain...
Japan bombed Pearl Harbor because Pearl Harbor had a lot of American money and American ships. When I mean a lot...... I mean.....................A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since the Americans got really mad, they decided to track down Japanese Americans. When American soldiers got to Japan, they were Aliens to them. Anyway, the American soldiers interned the Japanese-Americans into a concentration camp. The Japanese-Americans had forsaken their homes. They all got evacuated.
