Causes of WWII: Treaty of Versailles

Picture
Although at the post war peace talks President Woodrow Wilson wished above all to prevent future wars, the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended World War I, is widely considered to have contributed to the rise to power of the Nazi party in Germany. However, quite a few questions must be answered before we can draw our own conclusion.
  • Was the Treaty of Versailles an attempt  to ensure that Germany would never again pose a military threat?
  • Did the Treaty, as the Nazis claimed, place an unfair and unnecessary burden on Germany?
  • Did German politicians exploit the treaty as propaganda to support a German revolution?

We will do our best to answer these questions today and draw our own conclusions.

Background:

 The victorious powers in WWI - The US, France and Great Britain - wanted to make sure that Germany could never again have the economic or military resources to fight a war ever again. The Treaty of Versailles, respectively known as the Treaty of Peace was their attempt at doing just that - permitted Germany from fighting another war. However, it may have also permitted Germany from ever being self-sustaining or even fully developed. 

 

 

Question: How did The Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations from World War I contribute to another World War?

 

You will work in a group as an Allied or Axis power to analyze a few parts of the Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations.

Axis- Germany, Austria Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria

Allied- G.B, France, Russia, U.S.,

The US Prepares for War

 

Picture

 

Vocabulary: Isolationism, Lend-Lease Acts, Cash and Carry Policy
Activity :U.S. Preparation


Background:

The United States may seem like a country who is far from shy about getting involved in military conflict. However, the US has a history of being isolationist - belief in remaining neutral and uninvolved in world conflict. In fact, before WWII, the US tried very hard to stay out of the conflict. As Great Britain and France were fighting the Nazi's the US attempted to help out in the war without actually declaring war or putting American lives at risk. Lets watch part of  John Greene video to learn more. 


Connection to Today: Does the US still have a responsibility to "lend-lease"? Many people argue that the US spends way to much money on the rest of the world and does not focus enough on American citizens. Explore the source on how much $ the US really spends on the rest of the world. Support or oppose this policy in the discussion below

US OVERSEAS SPENDING Hover over any country to see how much

 

Meaning making- How about isolationism today? What does it look like? Look at the article below on Donald Trump.

WWII Trumps Foreign-Policy Revolution.pdf

1. Read the above article and think aloud with a partner after each paragraph.

2. Is Donald trump leading the U.S. to isolationism again after 70 years?

3. What could be some consequences of his foreign policy?

 

 

Discussion questions

  • Should the US shift back to a policy of isolationism? Why or why not?
  • Is the US responsible for providing the world economic and military aid? If no- what is the drawback. Yes- how much?
  • Is it ok for the US to sell weapons and military technology to other countries? What are two the negative side effects

U.S. involvements today 

  • North Korea
  • Russia annexed part of Ukraine
  • Iran is not showing signs of halting its nuclear enrichment programs.  
  • ISIS gaining territory
  • Israel and Palestine

US attitudes, work ethic, technology, and habits.     

Essential Question: How does life on the home front change during wartime? 

 What changed and had to change?

Statement: To win the war, the U.S. needed 16 million active duty men to be soldiers in the military. The U.S. also needed an all out effort by the men, women, and children back home to support those troops. 

Read and present one part of the home front and how it was influenced by the war effort.

Activity 7     Identify the role the U.S. had in WWII?

What could Hitler have done to avoid losing World War II? Was it the U.S that won the war for the allies?

It’s super simple, actually. Like, really, mindbogglingly simple. If he had just NOT done this ONE THING, he probably would have won World War II, or at least been able to carve out a German empire that would have lasted for a long time.

Ready?

“Don’t attack Russia.”

That’s literally all there was to it. All he had to do was NOT open up another front that his troops had to fight on, antagonize someone he had an agreement with to NOT fight, and keep on with his original plan.

Like.

Hitler wrote an essay in school, on what Napoleon did wrong. How he shouldn’t have attacked Russia, nor done it when he did. The Russian winter devastated Napoleon. Hitler knew this and wrote about it, pointing out what a failing point it was.

And then he did the exact same thing.

 In fear that Japanese Americans, 2/3 of which were American citizens, could not be trusted living freely in the US, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Passed Executive Order 9066. The executive order authorized the US military to forcefully uproot Japanese Americans from their homes and force them to migrate to what historians have named internment camps. You will be presented with 2 very different interpretations of what these internment camps were actually like. Remember, 2/3 of the over 100,000 Japanese were America citizens!

Final Assessment World War II

Is the U.S. involvement in global conflicts necessary or worth it?

Is War good for the home front?

WWII Assessment:    A Hypothetical WWIII                                              Picture

 

  • North Korea is becoming more and more aggressive towards the US and has apparently set off a nuclear bomb in the Pacific Ocean. 
  • Russia has annexed the Crimean Peninsula in Ukraine and is quietly supporting an anti-western revolution. 
  • Iran is not showing signs of halting its nuclear enrichment programs.  
  • ISIS is gaining territory in the middle East and Africa. 
  • Israel and Palestine continue to fight and kill one another. 



 On the verge of WWIII,  president Barak Obama has asked you, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to put together a report. The president wants to know everything he can about the pros and cons of US involvement in WWII, the last global conflict the US was involved in, to decide if the US should get involved in the current global conflicts. Therefore, it is your job to answer the following questions for the president: Write a paragraph identifying each of the reasons below.

  1. Is US involvement in global conflicts necessary, or worth it?
  • Identify and explain 2 pros of US involvement in WWII
  • Identify and explain 2 cons of WWII
    • Use the past to connect 1 of the cons to how the US interacts financially with the world today
  • Conclusion: Is US involvement in a global conflict worth it?

     2.  Is war good for the home front?

  • Identify and explain 2 positive impacts of WWII on the US home front
  • Identify and explain 2 negative impacts of WWII on the US home front
    • Use the past to connect these negative changes to the home front after 9/11
  • Conclusion: Are changes to the home front good or bad overall?
