2. Group 7
Our groups message is the things that caused all these tragedies in the WW2, we focused on the weapons. The WW2 affected so many things but one of the most important things is women could work and with men at war women had to help produce and one of those things was the production of weapons. The biggest impact the WW2 has had on our society is definitely the fact that women have a place in our world. Many years ago before WW2 women couldn't’t do just about anything and now, 70 years later women are leading our world.
