No, swords are not illegal for minors, but the parent has to decide whether they will let their kids play with swords If it was a real actually sharp sword, I would take caution and judge by the child's maturity If the sword was metal but not sharp, again take caution, the dull metal swords can still hurt if swung hard enough And the fake toy ones, anyone can play with those.
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.
