do we need to know the tangier crisis and the Agadir crisis? Do we need to know in detail battles such as the marne, the somme, and ypres??

I'm kind of stuck for the essay.. I don't think that it was justified. i was going to use Austria-hungary to blame for the beginning of the war and then like how everyone involved should have been blamed but I don't know what i could use for a third piece of evidence... suggestions anybody???

Guys I'm really stuck for a third argument... I could really use help now... I have absolutely no idea what to put! :p

Do we need to know wilson's 14 points in detail (like every one of them) or just generalized like what they helped to solve etc.

could I use what we talked about in class about how it was easier to blame one country instead of a bunch of smaller ones (A-H was split up after the war)

Otafest wa dou deshita ka.

Samantha: Your 10:08 p.m. comment seems reasonable to me. As far as Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points-don't memorize them, just have a general understanding of what they were all about.

Kevin Gilchrist said...

Have a general understanding about the major battles of WWI, just so you can distinguish between them on a multiple choice test.

Can you please summarize for me like what I do need to know about Wilson's 14 points then? I'm kind of lost there...

is our test really only 50 questions?

Anonymous said...

For key events/battles of WWI would those be found on the chart we did on the western and eastern fronts and stuff?? Do we need to no Ypres, passchendaele, etc. Like which battles do we need to know???

Kevin Gilchrist said...

WWI battles are from the chart. Yes, the test is only 50 questions long, so please remember to bring your other Social 20 textbook. Samantha, don't stress about Wilson's Fourteen Points too much, just know that his Fourteen Points are sort of the foundation for the treaties that are signed post-WWI, although not all of the points are fulfilled. For example, the US doesn't join the League of Nations because the U.S. Congress wants the U.S. to remain isolationist.
