Style within DataTemplate is only being applied to the last item in ItemsControl?

The answer to this is rather simple actually, every visual can only be the child of one object, unlike text like "X" which is just data.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
