Before the United States entered the Second World War, it had a problem. The military was spread out all over Washington, D.C., and had difficulty functioning. 

The solution was a new massive building.

Built in just 16 months during the urgency of World War II, the Pentagon began as a temporary solution to a wartime bureaucracy and went on to become the nerve center of the largest military establishment in history. 

It is a symbol of power, conflict, and resilience. Learn more about the history of the Pentagon on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
