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)





I showed you the A & E Biography of Napoleon Bonaparte today, and while you watched the video you should have taken notes on the blank timeline that I gave to you.  I finished off the Napoleonic Age PowerPoint lecture today, by starting at  the Congress of Vienna slide. I collected  your French Revolution DBA Assignment. Please check your e-mail, I've shared with you a Google Doc study guide link for Friday's Current Events Quiz #5. One week from tomorrow you'll be writing the French Revolution and Napoleonic Age Test, I'll post the study guide tomorrow.

You wrote your Current Events Quiz #4 in class today. I started a lecture on the Napoleonic Age in class today. I stopped when I got to the Congress of Vienna. I'll show you an A & E Biography on Napoleon Bonaparte in class tomorrow. Please remember that your French Revolution DBA is due tomorrow. One piece of advice I'd like to offer for the section on the Declaration of the Rights of Man is the following: although this section is out of 16 marks and there are 8 Enlightenment ideas you shouldn't limit yourself to just two ideas/clauses per section. You can use clauses/articles more than once. Some Enlightenment ideas have 3-5 examples in the Declaration of the Rights of Man, include all article that are applicable. You MUST include the article number, and a short quote from that article, that's it.
