Mr. Bruns is giving his powerpoint today.

  It started off with a slide of just pictures and asking of who is who, and what country they led.  USSR stands for Union of Soviet Sociallist Republics.  Russia was the largest of the soviet republics.  Treaty of Versailles was the treaty that ended World War One.  Finland was taken away from Soviet Union and Poland was taken from Soviet Union and Germany.  Germany and Soviet Union signed a pact.  Soviet Union also invaded Finland. 

 The Treaty of Versailles was aimed at Germany.  The League of Nations took control of Germanys overseas colonies.  The army was reduced to 100,000 men, the army was not allowed to have tanks, airforce, submarines, and only allowed 6 capital naval ships.  When Hitler came into order, he ordered that we were going to change up our army.  Coal from Saar and Upper Silesia lost alot of coal.  The cost was 33 billion dollars, Germany was clear that the Allies wanted nothing else but to bankrupt them.  Germany was forbidden to unite with Austria to form a big state.  Germany took responsibillity for starting the war.  A League of Nations was set up to keep world peace.
