We chose this topic because we both have interests in weapons that were used in wars. This topic was brought up when we were talking about how World War II had been a turning point in history but we had to be more detailed and precise about the war so we picked a weapon that had a huge effect. We felt that the M1 Garand would be a suitable weapon for our National History Day.
We conducted our research by first searching specifically just the M1 Garand and its functions. After we had found out information about the weapon, we wanted to widen our search more so we researched World War II. In our research, we tried to find out about how the M1 Garand had an effect in the World War and how it had worked that made it such an important weapon.
We picked to do a website as our presentation category because the group is pretty good with technology and being able to use website design softwares. We thought that a website would be a good way to show that the M1 Garand was an important weapon in the war and we would most likely have a variety of pictures so doing the other types of presentation categories wouldn’t work out very well.
Our project relates to the National History Day theme because the M1 Garand had a huge effect on World War II. Without this weapon, the results of the war would have been totally different. The creation and technology as the first semi-automatic weapon of the M1 Garand helped us out and made the outcome of the war a turning point in history.
