Welcome to the U.S. History II wiki!

This wiki is meant to be a guide and a collaborative workspace for the entire 10th grade class as they work their way through the USH2 curriculum. Here, you can find links to interesting web sites, reminders about assignments and tests, and most importantly, a place to post your own work and thoughts. Remember, this website is under the rules of the BP Acceptable Use Policy. Check out the link if you need reminding what that means! Heads up!

Update, 11-15-10: Let's get focused on an important topic that most of our USH2 classes are working on right now: World War I.

First, here's a link to an "amateur" page on WWI. It's not to be used for projects or papers, but it's an easy read.

Next, take a look at this animated map/timeline of WWI, it's helpful for putting all the various events preceding the war into perspective.

Finally, check out this short and sweet summary of the war by the BBC if you feel lost at all during your studies.

OK, now that you're a bit refreshed, let's see what you remember...
