In this website, we will discuss the womens suffrage movement in Wyoming as the first state to allow women to vote. Our website zooms in on important figures of this movement as well as the daily life and experience of women in Wyoming during this era.
In the 1960s–1970s there were major shifts. In the aftermath of WW2 and during the Vietnam War and Cold War, a lot was happening politically and globally, but that doesn’t even cover a quarter of what was happening to the people of the United States. There was a lot of tension, uncertainty, and change happening at the same time, especially for younger generations who were starting to question authority and social norms.
As all of this was going on, we also had new forms of media. The rise of TVs and 24-hour news services left Americans more connected to each other than ever before, and for the first time people were able to see what was happening across the country in real time. This connection made it harder to ignore issues and brought attention to injustices that might have otherwise gone unnoticed. Because of this, it led to many social and political changes like the Civil Rights Movement and LGBTQIA+ movements, and those are the two topics that we are going to talk about.
The exploration of what lead up to the great depression, the global impacts of it, and how it ended.
Cold War Exhibit for HIST 27/127 Spring 2026
In this project we aim to examine the relationships and actions of the US internationally during the Cold War. While there is currently a wealth of scholarship focusing on the relations of the US and the USSR and the US and Europe during the Cold War, we aim to explore relations that are less commonly studied.
Our digital history exhibit will examine World War II in the Pacific Theater. Spanning from the late 1930s to 1945, the Pacific War involved dozens of nations, millions of military personnel, and civilians. It was a crucial geopolitical conflict that shaped and continues to shape Asia today. Our exhibit explores the war from two perspectives: Chelsea will investigate the air forces and Emilie will dive into the Second Sino-Japanese War. We will use many primary sources such as maps, photographs, correspondence to bring this part of history to life. We hope that our audience will understand how the Pacific War emerged from smaller, regional conflicts particularly in East Asia, the military, humanitarian, and ideological aspects of the war, and how the war’s end reshaped the political map of Asia, leading to the Cold War.
Our first subtopic lead by Emilie is on the Second Sino-Japanese War that spanned from 1937, before the “start” of WWII in the European theater, to the end of WWII in 1945. This section will look into the origins and the escalation of Japan’s war against China and how it served as both a precursor to and an important part of the broader Pacific War. It includes the Nanjing Massacre, the Chinese resistance, and will detail the different events that took place in between.
Our second subtopic lead by Chelsea is on the air forces in the Pacific Theater from 1941 to 1945. Because the Pacific Theater had limited land area, aircraft were more heavily utilized for both transportation and combat. There were numerous operations in the Pacific War where air power played a critical role. This section will explore the impact of air forces in the theater and the personal experiences of pilots from different perspectives. By looking at these individual stories, we aim to provide the audience with a broader and deeper understanding of the Pacific War.
