Today we just reviewed everything because so many people were gone. Mr. Bruns put a new power point up on the website so we can review it and study. Weimar Republic was the democracy setup during WW1 and Hitler tried to overthrow it. It failed because so many people blamed it for problems going on in Germany during that time. Things that made the 1920's peaceful: League of Nations and Washingtion Naval Conference. The holocaust was the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during WWII. Many people were iinferior according to Hitler they include jews, gypsies, mentally/physicallys handicapped, homosexuals, mixed races, communists, socialists, and dark skinned people. Hitler set up the first concentration cam at Dachua in 1933. The first inmates there were communists. Jews were basically not citizens anymore. We need to know some of the death camps for the test and the Japanese invasion on Manchuria. Japan couldn't get resources from us so they decided to get their resources from Mancuria by invading it. Sudentenland inside of Czech. and it had Germans in it. Hitler wanted all of the Germans back in Germany. Germany, Italy, Great Britian, and France attended Munich Conference. This conference was held because Hitler wanted the Sudentenland but everyone else wasn't sure he should have it. He told everybody that the Sudentenland would be the last land he would take. So they let him have it because they believed him and the land did contain Germans. Winston Churchill is one of the few people that criticized what was going on. Soviet-German Non-aggression Pact. This pact agreed not to fight with eachother and trade unlimited. This way the soviet union would supply oil for germany and soviet union would get weapons. The trading part was a huge peace of this pact and when Germany invaded it was cut off. Germany would loose a lot of goods from this. They both also secretly agreed to invade and split up Poland. Germany would get the western half and USSR the eastern half. Russia would get Finland, Estonia, and Latvia and Germany would get Lithuania.
