*know the basics of each country for the test
first leader of the soviet union- vladimir lenin
were the terms of the treaty of versailles acutally carrid out?
the league of nations was to be created. This did happen
land had to be handed over to poland, france belgium, and denmark- that did happen
all overseas colonies were to be handed over to the leage- that did happen
all land taken from russia had to be handed back to russia- that did happen
germanys army had to be ruduced to 100000 men, on paper this happened but they found a way around it by training some then letting them go then getting new people in and repeating
germanys was reduced to 6 battle ships with no submarines- did happen
western germany was to be demlitarized- happened
germnay was forbidden to unite with Austria- happened
germany kept paying the reperations until hitler came to power
there was anger througout germany when the terms were made public
the reaty became known a Diktat- as it was being forced on them and the germans had no choice but to sign it
many in germany did not want the treaty signed but the representatives there know that they had no choice as germany was incapable of restarting the war again
germay hated the treaty of versallies
hilter used it as a way to motivate people
ha blamed the jews for all of germanys problems
germany was in a major depression and blamed the weimar republic
and of course people starting buying into what hitler was saying
hitler came to power legally being chancellor
weimer republic- democracy government that germany had. failed because hilter blamed it for everything tht was going on in germany
super high inflation so people started buying into it
-first democracy that germany ever had
league of nations- world wide peace keeping organization
US didnt join it because we didnt think it was our problems to get into- thought it would bring us into war
failed because it didnt have a military force and US not being in it made it a lot weaker
benito mussolini- italy- fascism- dictatorship, strong nationalism, strong military, make italy as strong as possible, imperalism, strong dictator, extreme pride in your country.
born into a poorer family- hated rich people
king of italy asked mussolini to come to power
became prime minister
he was anthiest
washington naval conference- three power packs- 4, 5,9 power treaties. US great britain france italy japan china would respect eachothers possestions, reduce naval size, and guarantee chinese independence and free trade in china.
