Assignment 6- Conor Kelley

I could honestly be entirely misunderstanding this prompt at the moment, but the intellectual topic that has always interested me, since I was 7, actually, was the Second World War. And yes, I am aware just about every boy was interested in World War II at some point. I have been learning about it in short spurts since I was 7, and have amassed quite an extensive knowledge of the tactics employed, the battles, and the technology of the Second World War. I have done a fair bit of research on the First World War as well, but I don't find it to be as interesting as the latter war. There was so much more development during the Second World War. Technology advanced considerably, jet engines, cruise missiles, and of course the atomic bomb were all developed within 6 years. And the tactics of the latter war are much more intriguing, tactics like Blitzkrieg and the storming of the beaches at Normandy were so much more advanced. The First World War was a war of attrition, two sides charging at each other until too many had died to continue the fighting, it was far too barbaric to be interesting to me. I prefer the intricacies of the Second World War.
