Im reeeeaaaallly hungry.
still gotta do that semester test blog, but on the bright side, no more weekly assigned blogs! =)
battle blog discussion today and tomorrow.
for the semester test, we are all coming in individually. ten minutes each.
WW1 tests on wednesday thru friday. main 7 topics:
1; causes of WW1, 2; describe trench warfare and weapons used, 3; US nuetrality and causes for US invlolvement, 4; Homefront, propoganda, organizations, boards, 5; Wilson's 14 Points (remember 1-5 &14), 6; Treaty of Versailles, 7; why we never ratified the Treaty of Versailles.
next week will be the 1920s stuff. video presentations, etc. gotta get together with our groups to do that, best time would be this weekend.
Finishing up the Treaty of Versailles- made germany lose a lot of money and land ($33 billion dollars, and several new countries were created)
Hitler used the treaty as something to blame for what happened to germany, and a lot of his goals were to undo the treaty.
League of nations was set up to keep peace. 5 permanent members: GB, France, Italy, US, and Japan. plus 4 non-permanent members that rotate. all member must submit disputes for investigation, arbitation and settlement. if member nation ignored League could take action, but only economic sanctions. france wanted an international army but US and GB did not. Germany and the Soviet Union were not allowed to join right away. US never joined. Why? we never opted to pass/ratify the Treaty of Versailles, cuz we saw lots of problems with it, obviously. more on that down there.
lots of other treaties were made, involving what land went where, and stuff. unimportant for now.
League of Nations failed big time in the 1930s.
wilson wanted to pass the treaty. some democrats said they'd accept it with changes. most republicans just said no. wilson wanted it passed with no compromises....wilson did not want to continue being isolationists.....
blog discussion. he siad we dont have to take note on this, so....
