About: Axis Powers Hetalia may prove to be much more than a goofy comedy with lots of doujin fodder-- it may be the biggest boon to world history teachers in years! Anything that can get teens to do independent research on topics from Frederick the Great to the Russo-Japanese war is awesome! This panel will present some of the real history behind some of the scenes, costume designs, and obscure one-off jokes in Hetalia. What's that outfit Prussia wears when he gloats over Austria? Who is "William I" and why does Japan want to emulate his wailing? Answers to these and more questions await!
