1. I feel that it is really interesting that both WWI and WWII are connected. The treaty of Versailles, which ended WWI also indirectly started WWII (that's arguable, I guess, since the conditions that it put Germany in made its government susceptible to Nazi rule and what not).
2. I'm not sure what I want to learn about these wars...I kind of have learned about them every year of school since 8th grade, well, almost.
3. We need to learn our history so we don't make the same stupid mistakes that we once did. If we don't learn our history we are doomed to repeat it. It's arguable whether or not WWI had a good enough reason to happen, which is interesting since we are currently in a war (unofficially not in a war) that has literally no reason for us to be over there.
