Today I continued my lecture/presentation on the Holocaust. I will be sending this presentation to you by e-mail, so please check your e-mail accounts tonight. Also, I showed excerpts from the movie "Schindler's List", I think that the excerpts that I showed really illustrated the treatment, the persecution of the Jews, life in the ghettos, and how difficult it would be to resist the Nazi regime. Tomorrow we'll look at the Nuremberg Trials, and then move on to the use of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I also gave you a handout on 36 Questions About the Holocaust that I feel has very useful information, please read it over.

We watched the opening sequence of "Saving Private Ryan" so you could see what the D-Day invasions of Normandy were like. Remember that once the Allies established a foothold in northern France the Nazis were fighting WWII on three fronts: in the east against the Soviet Union, from the south through Italy (the D-Day invasions occurred a couple of days after the fall of Rome), and finally through northern France. Once the Allies had established themselves in France, the end of the war was in sight. By May of 1945 the war was over in Europe, while it raged on until August 1945 in the Pacific. I gave you some more readings and maps that covered the remainder of the war in Europe and in the Pacific. These readings are your responsibility, they contain massive amounts of information that is all testable material. In the next few days we'll be looking at the liberation of the concentration camps at the end of WWII and the path the led to the "Final Solution" and ultimately the Holocaust.

Today was a pretty busy class, with lots of topics covered. I gave you a reading that went over some of Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, why the United States did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles or join the League of Nations. This reading also had information about the organizational structure of the League of Nations. I talked about some key events in the Interwar Years which clearly illustrated the failure of collective security and the ability of the League of Nations to deal with aggressive nation-states. The key events that I mentioned were the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the Italian invasion of Abyssinia, and the Spanish Civil War. I reviewed how the League of Nations was a FAILURe (please memorize this mnemonic). I then showed you a video on appeasement called "Why Appeasement?" You were to fill out a film study sheet as you watched this video. Tomorrow we'll continue to look at appeasement, and further analyze why many people turned to this foreign policy in the hope that it would help avert war. We'll also start looking at the rise of ultranationalism in Germany, Italy and Japan. You'll be getting your interim report cards tomorrow.

Today was a very busy class! I collected your WWI Map Assignments at the beginning of class. I then gave you some time to work on the "Focus Task" at the back of the "Making Peace" booklet that I gave you yesterday. This task is very good practice for the "speaker questions" that you commonly encounter on multiple choice tests. It requires you to see issues from different perspectives and understand why people might have felt a certain way. After completing this exercise you should have a very clear understanding of the motivations and viewpoints of the "Big Three" at the Paris Peace Conference. Next, I gave you a booklet that covered key events in the Interwar Years. This booklet is EXTREMELY important! It provides you with an excellent summary of some of the attempts at maintaining world peace in the Interwar Years, the impact of the Great Depression, and the failure of the League of Nations to halt the actions of aggressive nation-states such Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan in the 1930s. Tomorrow, we'll look at Hitler's rise to power in Germany, this will provide us with a nice lead in to looking at the policy of appeasement next week, and ultimately the start of WWII. If you didn't finish reading the Interwar Years booklet in class please make sure that you read it at home!

Today we played a simulation game of a fictional peace conference whose task it was to prevent the outbreak of the First World War. It's very difficult to "win" at this game and prevent the outbreak of the war. As you could probably see national interests came into play, as did the issue of sovereignty with regard to Austria-Hungary's ultimatum to Serbia. Many of the major European powers were committed to alliances and a foreign policy that almost pre-determined their course of action. Old hatreds and past defeats led to some of the European powers to follow the course of action that they did. I hope that you enjoyed the simulation. We'll have some time next week to do a little bit more debriefing on this simulation. Please remember that you have your Unit 1 Final Exam on Monday, October 6th.
