Today we went over the countries that we did once again.
United States- The Treaty of Versailles impacted the U.S by us not passing the Treaty and never signing the Treaty of Versailles. The U.S had a democracy and FDR was president but he died so Harry Truman took over. FDR got to be president by getting voted in. FDR lead the U.S by passing the New Deal. FDR hoped to get us out of the Great Depression and to defeat Hitler and the Nazis. We were isolated and we filled our military needs by having a draft and getting people to volunteer. The U.S got involved after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. We made so much stuff during WW2 also. The war impacted the U.S by helping the economy and there was many jobs for the people that just got back from the war. We lost a lot of people during the war too. We became the world superpower.
Austrailia- They were a colony of Great Britain and most of the people were stationed in many places around Europe and many other places. They got under direct attack for the first time in their history from the Japanese. Austrailia was the last country standing. They had many casualties but not as many as the other countries.
Review-
Lenin was the first leader of the Soviet Union. The Treaty of Versailles was carried out by the League of Nations. The United States never actually did sign the Treaty of Versailles. All overseas colonies were to be handed over to the League of Nations. Germany could not unite with Austria and Germany had to accept the war guilt clause. Germany hated the Treaty of Versailles and they felt that the government stabbed them in the back to accept this treaty. Germany was in a major depression and Hitler came to power legally. The Weimar Republic was the Democratic government in Germany. The League of Nations was the worldwide peacekeeping nation. The U.S felt that the League of Nations would bring us into war and wouldn't do us any good. Mussolini was the Italian leader. Fascism has strong nationalism, strong militarism, and it is a strong dictator. He was very poor and despised rich people. Mussolini was a atheist and made a deal with the Catholic Church.
