Today we started by talking about the test. Overall we did very good. Then we talked about the assigned blogs for the next few weeks. We have to watch a movie or program about WW2. Some of the suggestions were Saving Private Ryan, Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and others. To find a movie we can look on wikipedia. We need to give a summary of the main points of the movie, and then we need to review the movie. The blogs don't need to be very long since we're putting time into watching the movie.
We then started talking about what we know about World War 2. Some of the things were the holocaust, Iwojima and Heroshima in Japan. World war 2 was everywhere. We were quizzed ver the leaders of World War 2. First was Hitler, leader of Germany. Beinto was the leader of Italy. Winston Churchhill was Britains leader, and part of the Allied powers. FDR, who was the President of the US, part of the Allied powers. The leader of Japan was Tojo, he was the military dictator throughout WW2. Joseph Stalin was the power of the Soviet Union. Which was an allied power.
The Treaty of Versailles was the cause of everything that was to come, according to one person. With the Treaty of Versailles the map of Europe majorly changed. Many new countrys were carved out of bigger ones. Germany lost land to France, Belgium, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and they lost their overseas colonies to Great Britain, France, and Japan.
The treaty of Versailles also cripled Germanys military. Their army was reduced to 100,000 men and they were not allowed tanks, or an airforce. They were only allowed 6 capital naval ships, and no submarines.
