October 23


I did a homework check on your Chapter 5 Questions. I gave you the class period to work on a booklet that covers the core fascist values, conditions in the Weimar Republic that were exploited by Hitler, Hitler's steps to dictatorial power (January 1933-August 1934), and the techniques of dictatorship used in Nazi Germany and the USSR. This booklet is due on Monday, October 26th. I will give a pop quiz next week (either on Monday or Tuesday) on key people, key events, key groups associated with Nazi Germany (please see the study guide below). It's a short matching quiz. The only reason why I'm telling you about this "pop" quiz in advance is so you won't be freaking out when I give it to you. On Wednesday, October 28th, you'll have your Chapter 5 Test. Please see the study guide for this test below. I'll be starting the Cold War (Chapter 7 material) on Thursday of next week.



This quiz is a short matching quiz, with a word bank. What you'll have is a list of key people, key terms and key events associated with Nazi Germany (this is your word bank) and then you'll have a description that you'll have to match it up with. Here's a list of possible key terms that you might see on this quiz
