I gave you a really important handout today on the Interwar Years. There are certain key events that occur between 1919 and 1939 which help contribute to the rise of fascist regimes in Germany, Italy and Japan. You need to study these key events very carefully because you will be tested on them on your Unit 2 Final Exam and your Final Exam. We watched Part 1 of the A & E Biography "The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler", and as you watched this video, you should have been taking notes. We also watched "Make Germany Pay".
