Today Mr. Bruns went over his WWII power point.
Treaty of Versailles- Military, France wanted to be tough on Germany, signed in the Hall of Mirrors, Germany was held responsible for starting WWI. Countries split into more.
The League of Nations-was set up to keep world peace. Failed because the US was not in it even though they started it and it didn’t have the military force to enforce what it said.
Weimar Republic- a new government in Germany set up after WWII. They had never had a democracy before so it was new to them. Hitler criticized this new government. Blamed it for them having taken the hit for starting WWI with signing of the Treaty of Versailles. It failed because it was criticized and was hard for the people to get used it since it was so new to them.
Benito Mussolini- Grew up poor and Catholic but he got kicked out of Catholic School. Becomes a Fascist dictator of Italy. Fascism: a type of government that believes in strong military, nationalism, and imperialism. Had control of the people but no the businesses.
Washington Naval Conference- GB, France, Us, Japan, Italy. All about reducing naval size. Open door policy: Free trade in China for all countries. Only limited battle ships.
Hitler- Born in Austria, was beaten, poor, did poorly in school, loved art. He tried to get into an art school but did not make it. In WWI he finally felt that he belonged. Rose to the rights of the Nazi party because he was a great speaker.
