Extension Activity: - Have students research and present on a specific WWII battle in the Pacific, focusing on the key locations, events, and strategies employed by both sides. - Organize a virtual field trip to a museum or memorial dedicated to WWII in the Pacific, and have students write a reflection on their experience.

By engaging students in this interactive historical map activity, they will gain a deeper understanding of the WWII Battles of the Pacific and the impact of geography on historical developments.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.
