Website Spotlight: World War II (Pacific) Animated Map



Introductory Note:

Welcome to one in a series of posts which spotlight quality websites that I use with my U.S. History survey course students at Azusa Pacific University to enrich the regular material in our learning modules.

In this post, I limit myself to those specific aspects of the website which I find fit particularly well within our face-to-face class sessions (each student is required to bring a laptop to class) or as the basis for the students' regularly-assigned written reactions.

Animated maps are available for the following battles (as of the original date of this post):

I have used the Doolittle Raid, Midway, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa.

II. The Aleutians Campaign

III. Island Hopping Campaign
