I tried 3 computers today....the first two said the domain was unavailable. those were 21 and 16. so i finally gave up on those two and now i'm using #6. the keys on this computer, especially the vowels, are not very sensitive, mostly the o's and a's. so, while i was at war with technology, bruns talked about the next project. its over the 1920's. we can do this project alone or with up to two other people. you cn be partners with people in other class hours.
note-tking time:
characteristics of europe in the late 1800s and early 1900s:
Very nationalistic - willling to go to war to protect interests and national honor.
industrialization was occuring. population increasing...
social behavior changing (women starting drink/smoknig in public with men)
Europe was constantly at war with itself....not like ww1 was the ony war ever.
Wealth and power was held by few people. poverty was widespread. because of this, many people turned to labor unions and socialism.
contries competed with one another for markets, raw materials colonies, etc. but countries were also trading partners.
Blog discussion time:
Causes of WW1-
Militariam - building up army and navy.
Nuclear weapons are the only weapon in history made and designed extremely dangerous, only to never be used. we did use them once, but it wont happen again, although we nd a few other countries have them.
Imperialism- bigger countries taking over smaller countries. would help lead to major war, obviously, because of disputes over land. so---europeans were fighting over which african lnds belong to who, and which asian lands belonged to whoever (not including russia and china, since they were just huge). Main world powers with colonies: brittain, turkey, denmark, portugal, spain, france, belgium, japan (control korea for a while). New diplomacy has a lot to do with this--2 types of nationalism- desire of common people for independence.
out of time.
