World Two

Once upon a time, there was a very mean man in Germany, named Adolph Hitler. He got too big for his lederhosen, and convinced some other people that they should take over some other countries and kill a lot of people. He was very mean.

He made friends with a funny-looking man in another country. It's the one that looks like a boot on your map. This didn't help him much.

Hitler took over some other countries that most people didn't care about much. He took over France, too, because they had all the good wine and some pretty women, even if they don't shave under their arms.

Hitler shot people and killed Jews in ovens, and like that. He sent airplanes with bombs and bombed England, too. He didn't like England very much, I guess.

So England fought back. They did pretty good, but Hitler started sending rockets to England and blew up lots of stuff. England asked America to help out. We told him to wait a little longer and go on fighting.

Then, waaaay around on the other side of the world, this guy in Japan, some Emperor or King or something, named Hirohito, decided that the USA was distracted with this war in Europe. So, he sent some ships and airplanes and bombed Hawaii, which wasn't even a state yet then. Well, that did it!

America got really mad at Hirohito and decided to fight Hitler and Hirohito and the funny guy from the country shaped like a boot.

So, we had a draft and like that. We built some nice boats, and lots and lots of airplanes, and tanks, and all like that. Then we went and kicked butt on the Germans and whoever it was that lived in that country that looks like a boot.

Japan was a real pain, though. They were like going to little islands and stuff and were hard to fight. They were a long way from America, too, so it was hard to get airplanes there. And they were really stupid. Their pilots were doing stuff like crashing planes into our boats.

So, we made a really big bomb and blew up one of their towns. Then we blew up another one, and that Hirohito guy gave up. So, we gave the Japanese a lot of money and now we buy cars from them.

Over in Europe, Hitler killed himself and the Germans gave up, too. We gave the Germans a lot of money, too, and we divided up Europe between us and the Russians, who we didn't like much, either.

That guy in the country shaped like a boot? I think he died, too, but it didn't really matter, since he never did anything but walk around in high boots and talk a lot. We didn't give much money to that country, because they didn't fight much.

France got to keep its wine, but all those countries where they speak wierd languages and eat lots of sausages went to the Russians. But that's another story altogether.

We won World Two. But lots of people got killed, and that was sad.

I'm sure you posted this as a parody of a student essay on WW2, but it's much too close to what a real student essay would be like to be altogether humorous.

I've read university essays that were much like this, sad to say.
