Task:

For the broadcast about the Second World War your producer wants to include information about how large certain countries military forces were. He also wants to include information about how many soldiers and civilians were killed during the war and what percentage of the forces and population were killed. He then wants to do a segment on the cost of the war. You are to research how much each country spent on the war and what percentage of the total cost was spent by each country. You will represent this data to your producer in the form of a chart and a graph. While doing your research you were able to find some of the information but not all of it that you need. You arranged the information that you found into a table but it has many facts missing. Your job is to complete the tables by using the data you have already found. Then you will create two circle graphs to represent the data you found on US lending and the distribution of money spent by various countries. This all must be completed before handing in your final report to your producer.

Process:

1. Print a copy of the Military forces table that you have started and finish completing the empty cells by using the information that you already have found.
2. Using the table provided create a circle graph that represents how the spending during the war was distributed between different countries.
3. Using the table provided create a circle graph that represents how the money that the US loaned to other countries is distributed by percentage.
