We finished off looking at the Democratic Systems notes that I gave you on Friday, and looked quickly at the Non-Democratic Systems notes as well today. I gave you some notes today that compared communism and fascism to each other and a handout on totalitarianism. Make sure that you read these notes!

We continued looking at the consequences of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Ultimately, this attack will be used as pretext for the removal of Japanese-Americans from the west coast of the United States as well as the removal of Japanese-Canadians from British Columbia. We looked at the case study of the internment of Japanese-Canadians and rise of nationalism in Canada in WWII that led to the suspension of civil rights of this visible minority group. We watched a video called "Tides of War" and completed a worksheet to go along with it. I have also sent you a PowerPoint presentation that provides additional information on the internment of Japanese-Canadians, so please check your e-mail inbox when you have a chance. It is highly recommended that you print this presentation off and add it to your notes. You should also check out the following link on the interment as well: CBC Archives: From Relocation to Redress. Please remember that you have your Chapter 5-6 Test on Wednesday, please see the study guide here.
