Causes of WWII: Treaty of Versailles
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
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.
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?

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.

2. Identify the role the U.S. had in WWII?
3. See how the war changed and influenced everything moving forward

How constitutional were Internment camps for Japanese citizens? Should the US pay reparations and damages to the Japanese that lost lives and property?
WWII internment bill and questions japanese document (2).pdf
Look at the Bill of Rights
Did the Bill of Rights get violated in these questions?
In the months following WWII, the US wanted revenge on Japan. At the same time as the internment of US Japanese citizens was occurring so was a plan to bomb Japan.
Last Doolittle Raider dies at 103
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!
Discussion Questions:
Assignment: Letter Home from an Internment Camp
You will compose a letter home from the perspective of a Japanese boy or girl, man or woman, living in an internment camp during WWII. Your letter home should address:
Small group- Read letters out loud to each other and discuss how it would feel.
- Apology and Reparations- Discuss whether you think Japanese Americans should be apologized to and compensated for these WWII camps.
