Analysis of 1940 TO 1949



     I am the decade of nuclear
Reaction.
   I am the Japanese surrender,
Reads the caption.

I am the Iron Curtain speech
By Winston Churchill.
   I am Congress passes
The G.I. Bill.

I am George Orwell's 1984
Book.
   I am the microwave oven,
A quick cook.

I am the Manhattan Project
Takes shape.
   I am one of the first ones
To buy duct tape.

I am Hiroshima when we
Drop the bomb.
   I am the slinky watch it
Move along.

I am the start of
World War Two.
   I am, Pearl Harbor in
The Red White and Blue.

I am the Nazi's give up and
Surrender.
   I am an American we will
Defend her.
