We started class by doing a quick review of the MAIN causes of WWI and the terms of the Treaty of Versailles (GARGLe). Which led into looking at the League of Nations and the Interwar Years. If you missed today's class, you need to pick up a few handouts on the League of Nations and a booklet/timeline of key events in the Interwar Years. You will write a quiz on the Interwar Years on Tuesday, April 29th. The study guide is below.
