      Here it explains why people had to write letters to their families.
  • Not every home had a phone (and there were no mobile phones). Pay-phones in red 'telephone boxes' did not always work after air raids, because of bombs. To keep in touch, people wrote letters. Evacuees wrote postcards and letters home. Men and women in the Forces wrote home too. The sight of a messenger hurrying to a door with a telegram made people feel anxious. Telegrams often brought sad news - that someone had been killed in an air raid or in a bat

  • In 1945 Allied troops freed prisoners from Nazi concentration camps. In these camps, millions of Jews and other prisoners had been killed or had died from hunger, disease and cruelty.
  • It's thought 6 million Jews were killed. Among the victims were many children. One young girl left a diary of her life in hiding, before she was captured. Her name was Anne Frank. She died, aged 15, in 1945 at the Bergen-Belsen prison camp.

  • All of the conquistadors who came to the New World were ruthless, tough, ambitious and cruel, but Pedro de Alvarado was in a class by himself. Known by the natives as "Tonatiuh," or "Sun God" for his blonde hair, Alvarado was Cortés' most trusted lieutenant, and the one Cortés trusted to explore and conquer lands to the south of Mexico.
  • Alvarado found the remnants of the Maya Empire and using what he had learned from Cortés, soon turned local ethnic groups' mistrust of one another to his advantage.

  • As you many know a tsunami is caused by a strong earthquake on the ocean bed. The vibrations travel through the water traveling sometimes thousands of kilometers.
  • The immediate destruction is only the beginning of the damage.

  • of Sumatra. It created a deadly series of tsunamis that swept Indonesia, India, Madagascar, and Ethiopia.
  • The water level becomes shallower causing the waves caused by the earthquake to compress and combine. This is what creates the massive and destructive waves that cause so much destruction.
