We finished off the Google Slides presentation on the Second World War in Asia today, and then I started the "Effects of the Second World War" lecture. I'll try to finish off this lecture tomorrow. Please bring a hard copy of the lecture to class tomorrow, and make sure that you bring the charts that go along with this section in your Causes and Effects of 20th Century Wars textbooks.
