The handful of pioneering men who dressed up in full WWII uniform, and armed with WWII era weaponry, began a hobby that would eventually rival the numbers of those who had been participating in Civil War reenactments since the mid 1960s. This paper traces the history of reenactment in general to set the historical time-line for WWII reenactment. History and memory plays an important role in understanding why reenactors choose to reenact WWII. The types of historical memory are described and WWII reenactment is fit into the context of how history is remembered. In addition, issues regarding the ownership and right to interpretation of history are also examined. The links are then drawn to show how WWII reenactment is a form of history and memory and how WWII benefits those who choose to remember our past.

The women’s movement has been one of the largest in the 20th century. As national movements occur they began to impact smaller cities across the U.S., different institutions, and many different people. The University of Wisconsin Eau Claire was part of the national women’s movement. A look at primary sources and comparing them to overall movements proves that the UWEC was involved in changes in abortion and contraception during the early 1970s when some of the greatest social and political changes took place.

Myriad scholars have attempted to explain the causes of this catastrophic war, the reasons for the course it ultimately took, and the forces at work that impeded the peace process, the result of which is a robust body of literature that has substantially increased our knowledge of the war. However, a new perspective, focusing primarily on key individuals and making use of international relations theory, will give rise to novel explanations to the above issue. Specifically, the paper explores the foreign policies of two early Peloponnesian War leaders—the Spartan King Archidamus and the Athenian general Pericles. The application of international relations theory to the lives of these leaders and the exclusive focus of the paper on foreign policy offers a unique perspective and some new considerations to ponder.
