The motivation of this software is to develop an interactive GIS application which should enhance student activity and interest in learning world history. It is an all-in-one graphic interface tool to help students of Helix High School understand and learn about significant wars in an informative but entertaining way. This tool is designed to show the wars information in a student friendly format using text, pictures, videos, and quick links to learn from the Internet. The tool with its interactive and visually attractive GUI should motivate students to learn about the wars which were fought from 1950 to present, such as Afghanistan War, Gulf War, Korean War, Vietnam War and Cold War. The tool should mainly highlight the main groups involved in the war, causes, long term consequences, and results of the war. It also incorporates picture game and practice quizzes to provide students an opportunity to exercise what they have learned. The tool also provides capability of creating new quizzes for the students. GIS technologies like MapObjects - JAVA edition and j2sdk were used along with the NetBeans IDE to develop this tool. This Thesis project was done in a group consisting of two students by Darshini Gajab and Chintan Sheth, who covered wars from 1775 to 1950. The advantage of a team approach is a commonality of treatment of all important wars from 1775 to the present
