Today, we talked about our new project coming up
the 20's:
make a minimum 5 minute video
Chapters 12-13
place to start
anything that made the 1920's stand out
the roaring 20's
100 point video
not due for a while
then we did blog discussions over WW1
new diplomacy is kind of the start of ww1
europe and the US had a lot in common
urbanization and rapid changes
Europe;
propaganda was common
more ppl could vote
industrialization was occuring
population was increasing
democratic gov't increased
all of the advances also came with things that weren't so good
poverty
many ppl turned to socialism
countries traded a lot with each other
imperialism became common
their armies and navys were building up
CAUSES OF WW1:
militarism- building up your army and navy
is an armsrace
germany and france built up their armys
start to gain alliances
germany was bigger so tehy were more likely to attack france
so france built up their military
want to have a balance of military
the only reason we have nuclear weapons is to keep other countries out of our country
are a defense weapon
imperialism- when larger countries take over smaller countries
desputes over land
ww1 just kind of started
the winners just wanted the land from the losers
the winners wanted african colonies
most of asia was controlled by european powers
