Occupy Central

“What was the event?” and “How do I know what happened?”

What happened in this Event? How do I know what

happened?During the British to Chinese handover in 1997 the Chinese promised that in 2017 HK would have full rights to choose who they can vote for.But China refused to let HK do that so people from HK University wanted to stand up in what they believe in so they started a protest and they were in the newspaper and really fast loads of people started to join and on the first day they you cry gas to make people leave but it did’t work they kept trying all these things like pepper spray bats but it diet work so at the end they said we will stop the protest for 70 days and if you still don't let us we will come back.I found this information by going there and the south china morning post.

World War 2

“What was the event?” and “How do I know what happened?”

What happened in this Event? How do I know what

happened?The Second World War was started by Germany in an not necessary attack on Poland. Britain and France declared war on Germany after Hitler had refused to leave his invasion of Pollen. WW2 started in 1939 and finished in 1945 the war was going on for more than 6 years.A lot of countries were involved like UK, USA, France and many more.Millions of people died in the war.All the countries would build trenches were they would live in the trenches and shoot each other from inside. Germany had spikes on there helmets so you could see them from inside the trenches so it was easy to know were to shoot. But one day christmas came around and they put the war behind them (just for one day) and came out of there trenches and all played football together but the next day they carried on shooting each other.
