October 24

Sorry for not posting on Friday, I was extremely busy with the Model UN conference that we hosted.


We did a quick review of the mnemonic FAILURe of the League of Nations at the beginning of class. I started a lecture today on "Ultrantionalism in Germany, Italy and Japan", which I'll finish off tomorrow. I gave you some time to work on your Chapter 6 Key Terms and Questions, which are due tomorrow (Tuesday, October 25th). One week from today (October 31st) you'll be writing your Chapter 5-6 Test, please see the study guide below.


1. Study the following key concepts/key people/key events:
  • Archduke Franz Ferdinand
  • Triple Alliance
  • Triple Entente
  • the Black Hand
  • Gavrillo Princip
  • Tsar Nicholas II
  • Kaiser Wilhelm II
  • Battle of Tannenberg
  • the Schlieffen Plan
  • Plan 17
  • General von Moltke
  • Battle of the Marne
  • Alsace and Lorraine
  • total war
  • Battle of Verdun
  • Battle of the Somme
  • the Brusilov Offensive
  • sinking of the Lusitania
  • the Zimmermann Telegram
  • Treaty of Brest-Litovsk
  • General Ludendorff
  • Friedrich Ebert
  • Paris Peace Conference
  • David Lloyd George
  • Woodrow Wilson
  • Fourteen Points
  • Georges Clemenceau
  • Vittorio Orlando
  • League of Nations
  • plebiscites
  • reparations
  • collective security
  • war debts
  • Treaty of Versailles
  • "war guilt clause"
  • "Manchurian Incident"
  • Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere
  • expansionism
  • Hirohito
  • Hideki Tojo
  • Benito Mussolini
  • Adolf Hitler
  • Kristallnacht
  • the Nuremberg Laws
  • any of the key concepts or key events in the Interwar Years booklet is also testable material

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 in your Social 20-1 study booklet)
  • the League of Nations (FAILURe of the League of Nations)
  • ultranationalism in Germany, Japan and Italy (common characteristics?)
  • failure of collective security (League of Nations) in Manchuria, Abyssinia, and the Spanish Civil War
  • appeasement of Adolf Hitler (Munich Conference, Neville Chamberlain, a foreign policy response to ultranationalism)




You had the entire period to work on your IA today. We were booked into the library's Blue Lab, so hopefully you got some work completed. I gave you back the results on our U.S. Constitutional Convention today as well. I haven't marked the French Revolution WRA I assignments that you wrote on Friday. You have your French Revolution DBA due on Wednesday, October 26th. You're going to write your Current Events Quiz #4 tomorrow (this was originally schedule for Friday, October 21, but got postponed because of the WRA I that you wrote), check the wiki for the cut-off date for this quiz (it should be October 20th). You're going to write another Current Events Quiz on Friday (October 21st-27th events).
