For example, Punjabi artist Pran Nath Margo’s painted Farewell in 1945. It shows Indian soldiers leaving for war on a train (something captured in photos and paintings all over the world) but also includes a distinctly Indian practice.

Great stuff! Lots of useful material and analysis in the intro post. #iteachsocialstudies
While reading this and anticipating future posts I kept thinking about Patrice Nganang's historical novel When The Plums Are Ripe which follows Cameroonian characters in WW2

I loved all three books in the triology that Plums is in.

Most of the problems we see today in the world were partly due to how the world was divided up after WWI and WWII. We could actually call it a hundred years war, as it continues today in many countries The decisions made after those two wars has caused most of the wars we see today.

But I love how you have backed up and looked at the whole picture and put into place more of the pieces of this giant jigsaw puzzle.
