Any ink cartridge brought in to recycle will count as one positive Community Service point on Class Dojo! This week we continue to study the conflict and change in Europe. Students should understand that conflict and change were dominant themes in history following WWI. Much of Europe was in chaos. Many people were hungry and homeless. Many centuries of rule by powerful and wealthy czars in Russia opened the door for a revolution. Communism seemed like a viable option for starving and powerless people, but also laid the foundation for later conflicts and land domination. The basic components of the Treaty of Versailles (such as extensive reparations and transfer of territory from Germany to other states) led to resentment and opened the door for the rise of Nazism as Hitler promised to end unemployment and poverty and bring Germany back to a state of power. Students will study the impact of the Holocaust. We will discuss how two countries which fought on the same side during WWII and were both on the winning side became bitter enemies engaged in an extremely tense time of political hostility and nuclear build-up. Students should explain how ideological differences between the United States wanting to rebuild European states with democratic governments and free-market economies as opposed to the Soviet Union wanting communist governments with centralized economic and political systems led to the Cold War. Students should explain how the United States and the Soviet Union rose to become Superpowers after WWII. MONDAY - As a review from last week, students will make an acrostic for terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Watch PPT – The Russian Revolution – slides 1 – 38 - filling in GO during discussion. HOMEWORK: Rise of Nazism/ WWII Erupts reading from Gallopade (due Wednesday)
