Dr. Zee:
On the contrary. Our knowledge of the Earth's past grows with every hour. But our two warriors must leave at once. If she's truly a student of history...

Jamie Hamilton:
Student? I had a straight A average.

Dr. Zee:
She might be able to tell us about the period known as the 1940s.

Jamie Hamilton:
The 1940s. Well that was the time dominated by World War II.

Commander Adama:
World War II?

Jamie Hamilton:
Yes, you see, the First World War was known as "the war to end all wars." But it didn't work out that way. Then, 20 years later, in 1939, World War II broke out.

Commander Adama:
What caused it?

Jamie Hamilton:
Basically it was a struggle for power. But it was also a struggle between various political philosophies, with United States, Great Britain and her Commonwealth, China and the Soviet Union on one side, against the fascists of Germany, Italy and Japan on the other. It literally involved every continent on Earth.

Dr. Zee:
You see, Adama. She can be a vast help to us.

Commander Adama:
Well, as usual, Dr. Zee, you are right.
