Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The events of the radio version of the War of the Worlds take place in the United States, to be more precise in Grover´s Mill, New Jersey.

It was an adaption made by Orson Welles of 1898 H.G. Wells´s novel " The War of the Worlds". Orson adapted the story to placed it in 1939, year in which they were at the time of the broadcast transmission.

In the novel the events took place in England and are told to have happened before. But in the adaptation it was changed the place, the time and the tense in which the story was told. Orson Welles decided to told the story as it was happening in the present.
