I am not positive but I believe it is supposed to be during the second world war. I saw the movie when I was little like 35 years ago and if memory serves me it is WWII. It takes place in Europe when England started fighting Germany yes I believe that was the reason the nanny, Julie Andrews, was hired. The dad had to go to war.

Improved Answer: Good grief! It was 1938, the year that the Anschlus took place, which is discussed in the film. For those not paying attention, this was when Nazi Germany took over Austria to "re-unite" the German lands. Austria had been a separate country. Hence all the boo-hoo by Captain Von Trapp about being Austrian. Were you watching the film??? Did you pay attention at school? If you saw it 35 years ago, you must have been born in about 1970. So surely you know a little more about the period leading up to the World War II?

Surely?

And by the way, the question should be "In what year was The sound of Music supposed to be?" The questionner's grammar rather suits the original respondent's lack of knowledge, methinks!

If you are reading this, please teach your children never to believe anything that they read on WikiAnswers. Any fool can give an "answer" - and it shows!!!

Is music the same thing as sound?

No. Sound is anything from an explosion to a thousand nails on the blackboard, to the most beautiful music you have ever heard. Music is an organized niche of sound, an area where sound is at it's very best. But while music relies almost 100% on sound, music is not the same thing as sound. Sound is a much broader category.
