#twitterstorians! I am preparing a Yr.9 class on the causes of #WW2. What would you choose as your one main reason? I will use your answers if you reply. Thanks!
Fabulous! Thanks everyone for such prompt replies!
Last half term of remote learning to go (we hope!). It would be nice to be back in a classroom in September (my school has been delivering full timetable remote teaching since Easter).
Loving the extra-European replies. I was wondering if responses would look beyond Europe, and answers linking Japan to Versailles and 'European' matters also appreciated.
Great stuff, keep it coming, and I will have to curate, maybe that thread thingy would be best...
Step 1: Read translated interview
'After the battle, our company and the Chinese company were ordered to defend the Mawchi road and the Officer-in-Charge was Capt. Thompson of the Bengal Rifles. Jemedar Pan Mya and 16 soldiers were captured fighting the Japanese at Paletwa.'
Step 2: Check out Capt. Thompson
Thompson was not Bengal Rifles, he was 1st Battalion Burma Rifles. Translator or interviewee error? Not to worry. Error found.
