Questions based on the TIMELINE!

Answer 4 of the 10 questions below using your timeline.

  1. List the wars in order of when they happened. (first, second, and the last war).
  2. How long did each war last? Which one lasted the longest? Which one lasted the shortest?
  3. Compare the three wars. Are there any similarities you can find? List. Are there any differences? List.
  4. Which war do you think was the most important based upon the timeline information and why?
  5. Technically the Korean War still going on today, but we want you to predict the ending of the Korean War. Will it stay like this forever? Will one side end up attacking, giving up?
  6. Reflect upon the timeline. Write down three true statements based upon it (be careful no opinions).
  7. Illustrate (draw a picture) one of the facts for each war on your paper.
  8. Write a summary of three sentences about all three wars. Pretend you are trying to summarize your timeline to someone who does not know a thing about any of these wars (like Mr. McNasty).
  9. Judge the ending of each war. Do you agree with how each war ended? Would you like to see them end differently? Explain your “new ending”.
  10. Write three questions that other people could answer based upon looking at your timeline.
