1. How much information should we know from the Enlightenment philosophers topic that we learned in the beginning of the year? Will the fundamentals of each philosopher suffice?
2. Can you explain the case of Kosovo more thoroughly?
3. Will we have to know the Generals involved in battles (in WWI)? Also will battle plans and specific battles be heavily tested?

1. Just do a quick review of their basic beliefs.
2. When it comes to Kosovo, here is what you should know: when the Former Yugoslavia broke up into several new independent countries, Kosovo was still a province of Serbia, and eventually conflict based on "ethnic cleansing" were conducted, with the Serbs trying to drive out the ethnic Albanians (Kosovars). Eventually NATO steps in and separates the two groups. Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia and received some international recognition from other countries. Some countries consider Kosovo and independent sovereign nation-state, whereas other countries don't yet. Canada has recognized Kosovo. Some people worry that Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence sets a dangerous historical precedence in international law. We looked at Kosovo as a case study for self-determination.
3. No and no.

In 1982, Canada patriated our Constitution from Great Britain. The BNA Act of 1867 was our first constitution, but it was an act of British Parliament, so if we wanted to make any changes to it, we needed to go to the British to change it. By patriating the constitution in 1982, our constitution became an act of Canadian Parliament, and now we can make ammendments to it. In 1982 the PQ were in power in Quebec, and Rene Levesque was left out of some key negotiations, so Quebec didn't sign on to the Constitution. With the Meech Lake Accord and the Charlottetown Accord Brian Mulroney was trying to reach out to Quebec by offering some special provisions in the constitution, he was trying to bring Quebec into the "constitutional family". Both attempts failed however.

What is the main difference between collective identity and national identity?

What is the main difference between collective identity and national identity?
NL in Social 20-1 period 2
--------------------------
Think of national identity as being the identity of a nation-state, whereas collective identity is the identity of a collective or a nation. For example, the Maori of New Zealand can have a collective identity and New Zealanders can have a national identity that includes elements of the Maori collective identity. I hope this makes sense to you, if it doesn't, post again and I'l try to explain it differently.

Hey Mr. Gilchrist,
Why didn't the United States join the League of Nations?
If the United States wanted to adopt a policy of isolationism, why did Woodrow Wilson attend the Paris Peace Conference and make up the 14 points?

--------------------------
Nationalist loyalties are conflicting loyalties to different nations or nation-staes. So for example, if you have contending nationalist loyalties you might have dual citizenship to two countries and that might cause personal conflict. Contending non-nationalist loyalties might occur if your loyalty to a nation might conflict with your ethnicity, class, ideological beliefs, your religion, etc. Please review the chart in your textbook for this.
How did Napoleon bring about peace to Europe?
EL Social 20-1 p.2
-----------------------
Some people might say that he didn't. He waged wars of conquests on the continent called the Napoleonic Wars, and then other European countries banded together to defeat him. In the early part of his time in power, there was a period of time when he wasn't trying to expand the French Empire, and during that time, he was able to put into effect a lot of his domestic reforms.
What is the difference between a nation and a nation state and what is an iredentist?
MTK in Social 20 period 2
----------------------
A nation is a group of people who sense that they share something in common (ehtnicity, cultural values and beliefs, language, religious or spiritual beliefs, geography, politics and citizenship) which they internalize, generating a sense of belonging and acceptance. These people then may identify themselves as a nation. Individuals may belong to many nations. A nation-state is another way of saying country. A nation-state is a territory with internationally recognized boundaries and a politically organized body of people under a sovereign government. The Blackfoot Nation is an example of a nation, but it is not a nation-state, it is not a sovereign country.

EL social 20-1 P.2

Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat, but the U.S. Senate was dominated by the Republican Party. The Republicans were against getting entangled in foreign wars, so they voted against the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles. By rejecting the Treaty of Versailles they rejected the creation of the League of Nations (which was part of the Treaty). So, the USA never joins the League of Nations and never ratifies the Treaty of Versailles, they have to negotiate a different treaty with the Germans. American public opinion started to shift towards isolationism at the conclusion of the war. Remember it takes 6 months to negotiate the Paris Peace Conference treaties, and public opinion can change dramatically in that time.
An irrendentist is a member of a party in any country advocating the acquisition of some region included in another country by reason of cultural, historical, ethnic, racial, or other ties. In the case of Italy, at the conclusion of WWI, they wanted to obtain lands, in particular, the Dalmation coast because there were a number of Italian-speaking people there. They wanted these people to be incorporated into Italy.
Hello Mr Gilchrist,
Could you please explain how the unification of Italy and Germany took place?
I'm actually in Mr Graham's social class just to let you know, if that's okay with you.
I happened to stumble across your blog while doing some online studying.
