Class | Registration opens 3/2/2026 9:00 AM EST
WW 2 has often been called a just war and those who fought in it “the greatest generation.” The entire country was mobilized, from children to the elderly, to support the war and make the USA the arsenal for democracy. This course will explore the impact of the war on the domestic front in the USA and how it profoundly changed our country.
