We looked at international relations in the Inter-War Years today by focusing on a reading that covered the Ruhr Crisis, the Dawes Plan, the Young Plan, and the Kellogg-Briand Pact. We also started looking at the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, which we will continue tomorrow. I also gave you back your Paper 2 essays today on WWI. This Thursday you have a test on the Emergence of the Americas in Global Affairs unit. This test will be multiple-choice format. Also on Thursday, you will be writing a Paper 1 on Prescribed Subject 1 right after the multiple choice test. Please see the study guide below.
This is a
38 question multiple choice test. It will be administered in class on
Thursday, December 8th. It covers the
Emergence of the Americas in Global Affairs unit. Here are some points to review:
- Teddy Roosevelt "big stick diplomacy"
- Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine
- Alfred A. Mahan (naval sea power theory)
- What is the "Open Door Policy"?
- What is "dollar diplomacy"?
- Spanish-American War (causes, practices, effects/results)
- Venezuela crisis and jingoism
- Portsmouth Peace Conference (Russo-Japanese War; what role does Teddy Roosevelt play); results?
- President McKinley's accomplishments re: expansion/annexation
- MAIN causes of WWI
- nature of warfare in WWI
- World War I (causes, practices, effects/results: a word of caution here-don't spend any time studying the battles in WWI)
- Canadian participation in WWI (contributions, issues on the home front)
- key players/leaders in WWI (ex. Kaiser Wilhelm II, Nicholas II, etc.)
- Sedition Act and Espionage Act (USA)
- George Creel
After you complete the multiple choice test, you will be writing a
Paper 1 on Prescribed Subject 1 (Peacemaking, Peacekeeping and International Relations). Review how to write a Paper 1 by visiting key links on the wiki, especially the
OPVL document analysis link. Remember to try and write
4 similarities and 4 differences between the sources (NOT in chart format), and to create an OPVL chart. I have put up an
example Paper 1 on the wiki with examiner's comments that covers the
Japanese invasion of Manchuria (obviously
Thursday's Paper 1 will NOT be on that topic). Other topics in Prescribed Subject 1 that we have covered a fair game, so have a look at this section of the wiki.
I went through some notes today on rights, responsibilities, human rights, civil rights, the entrenchment of rights, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the notwithstanding clause. I also mentioned the usage of the War Measures Act (we will discuss this in greater detail when we look at the FLQ Crisis of 1970). Check out the following upcoming important dates:
