THESIS STATEMENT/ THIRD ANNOTATION

There are many different theories on why Amelia Earhart disappeared over the Pacific ocean... but me and my partner are going to figure out which theory sounds more reasonable.

Many people from 1939-through today are still pointing out their views on how they think Amelia Earhart disappeared... What my partner and I are going to find out which theory sounds more realistic or in which the U.S.A was going through at that time to see if it links back or has something to do with Amelia's disappearance.

  U.S Navy had used Earhart's disappearance as an excuse to send aircraft over the Marshall Islands where it was suspected that the Japanese were building military installations in violation of a League of Nations mandate. Copyright 1998-2004 by TIGHAR.

   The very first theory about what happened to Amelia was conjured by the captain of the coast Guard cutter Itasca which was waiting for her at Howland Island. Commandar Warner k.Thompson decided that she probably ran out of gas shortly after contact was lost and that she had gone down at sea somewhere to the Northwest. He went and looked but found nothing.

The disappearance of Amelia Earhart

  I Choose Amelia Earhart for my NHD Project because I am interested in knowing the facts, or opinions on why the Government, friends and or family thinks why Amelia Earhart had disappeared.

  This person is important to history because her story is the greatest mystery known to man. Her disappearance was never proven to be right because all stories were theories never any facts. Life would had been different without Amelia Earhart because if she never was the first women to fly things might have been different. How? Maybe because women would had have an harder time becoming an women aviator

   The other major theory about what happened is that when Amelia could not find Howland, she turned her plane north and ended up in the Marshall Islands then held by the Japanese. It was there they say she was held as a prisoner of by war by Japanese and eventually met her death. Apr 2, 2007.
