About

Hey there, and I'm so glad that you are interested in learning more about the World Wars! Each week, we will review World War 1 and 2 topics and how different events led to the Wars. We will have sessions twice a week, and there will be Gimkits or Kahoots after each lesson at each session:) See you there!
