World War II: The Homefront

1998
Take a simulation that follows a typical American family through a school year during WW II. While this site doesn't give in-depth reasons for the war, it does cover day-to-day life and period culture, such as television, movies, and toys. The pictorial timeline is thorough, covering events that led to the war right up through the defeat of Japan. Artifacts, posters, and graphics make the site a compelling history from the homefront.
