January 5


We covered some more of the road to World War II today. I reviewed the Ruhr Crisis briefly, some factors that helped contribute to the Nazis coming to power, namely the Great Depression, and the connection between the number of unemployed Germans and the number of seats that the Nazis won in the Reichstag. As the economic crisis deepened, Germans tended to "vote for the extremes", voting more and more for communist party candidates or for the Nazis. We also look at the immediate road to World War II, specifically looking at the Munich Conference and the policy of appeasement. We watched a video from the BBC 20th Century History series called "Why Appeasement?" as you watched this video you were to fill in answers on the question sheet. Tomorrow we'll look at the "big picture" of WWII by watching a video called "Blitzkrieg to the Bomb".


We went to the Blenheim Room today to work on WRA I three source analysis assignments. This time you worked in smaller groups and made your own Google Docs to collaboratively write an analysis of previous Diploma Exam's WRA I.
