2. Look at what I have emphasized in class (Causes of WWI, nature of WWI, armistice, Paris Peace Conference, Treaty of Versailles, the Interwar Years, rise of ultranationalism in Germany, Italy and Japan): this will be the emphasis of the test, there are several topics in your textbook Chapters 5-6 that WILL NOT be on this test, especially if it is event that occurs AFTER the events listed above (so things like Canada's role in Afghanistan, and Arctic sovereignty won't be on the test)

3. Focus your review on the following big concepts:

• MAIN Causes of World War I
• the nature of World War I (trench warfare, stalemate, total war)
• the Paris Peace Conference (national interests in negotiating the treaties)
• Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points (links on the blog, under Social 20-1 Links, CHECK IT OUT!!)
• the Treaty of Versailles (terms of the Treaty of Versailles: GARGLe)
• Hitler's violation of the Treaty of Versailles (chronology; order of events that violated the terms of the Treaty of Versailles)
• the Interwar Years (key events, study your Interwar Years notes from the Unit 2 study booklet)
• the League of Nations (FAILURe of the League of Nations)
• ultranationalism in Germany, Japan and Italy
• failure of collective security (League of Nations) in Manchuria, Abyssinia, and the Spanish Civil War
