Week 2

Class 1:

Section 1:
To be a great nation we need to colonize
In 1800 both france and Britain had large empires, and continued to grow during the 19th century
in 1870, Germany and Italy become united countries for the 1st time, and both wanted to develop overseas empire
Another catalyst that will eventually be the greatest war in the world anyone had ever knew.
Strong competition between European powers for expansion, especially in Africa.
By 1914, large parts of the world were controlled by various eurpoean powers
The competition caused several disputes Moroxxo Incident in 1906 and 1911 between France and Germany. Race of dreadnoughts.
In 1906, Britain launched the HMS dreadnought, which started the race to build stronger, bigger and faster battleships.

Section 2:
LDL team teaching:
Large parts of the world were controlled by eurpoeans.

Section 3:
Prussian war (franco Prussian war):
The Franco-Prussian War or Franco-German War (German: Deutsch–Französischer Krieg, French: Guerre franco-allemande), often referred to in France as the War of 1870[6][page needed] (19 July 1870 – 10 May 1871), was a significant conflict pitting the Second French Empire against the Kingdom of Prussia and its allies in the North German Confederation, as well as the South German states of Baden, Württemberg, Bavaria and Hesse-Darmstadt.
The conflict emerged from tensions regarding the German unification. A war against France was deemed necessary to unite the North German Confederation and the independent southern German states, while France was preoccupied by the emergence of a powerful Prussia. Napoleon III seized on a supposed insult in the Ems Dispatch to declare war, which most French leaders expected to win.
The German coalition quickly took charge. Its forces were superior, due to much better training and leadership, and more effective use of modern technology.[7] A series of swift Prussian and German victories in eastern France culminating in theBattle of Sedan, saw Napoleon III and his whole army captured on 2 September. Yet this did not end the war, as the Third Republic was declared in Paris on 4 September 1870 and French resistance continued under the Government of National Defence and Adolphe Thiers. Over a five-month campaign, the German forces defeated the newly recruited French armies in a series of battles fought across northern France. Following a prolonged siege, Paris fell on 28 January 1871. The German states proclaimed their union as the German Empire under the Prussian king, Wilhelm I, uniting Germany as a nation-state. The final Treaty of Frankfurt of 10 May 1871 gave Germany most of Alsace and some parts of Lorraine which became the Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine.
Following defeat, a left-wing revolt broke out in Paris against the new French republic. Known as the Paris Commune, it was a landmark event in the revolutionary seizure of power by the masses, but it was harshly crushed by Adolphe Thiers. The unification of Germany into an empire in its own right, with the new industrialization of the nation, shifted the European balance of power and Otto von Bismarck maintained great authority in international affairs for two decades. France's determination to regain Alsace-Lorraine would subsequently be a major factor in France's involvement in World War I.[8]


Class 2:

Section 1:
By 1907, Europe was divided into 2

armed camps. – 1870, Germany became a united country with

an attitude: to be like Britain! – Germany worried about French attack to

regain Alsace and Lorraine, won by Germany

this year. France builds up more soldiers on

borders, fearing attack from Germany! – Vast Austrian Empire in danger of falling

apart, some looking for independence,

needed a strong ally.

– 1879, Austria and Germany form an alliance. – 1882, Italy saw benefit in joining the group, so

in this year, the “Triple Alliance” was formed. – 1893, France formed an alliance with Russia,

both fearing Germany and the “TA”. – 1904, IN the past, France had been a rival of

Britain. Britain was worried about growing

German power. In this year, France and

Britain kiss and make up.

– 1907, Britain and Russia make a similar

agreement, and the “Triple Entente” was

formed.

• The British motive was to prevent

Germany from taking over all of Europe.

Germany responded that the Triple

Entente had been formed to surround and

threaten Germany.

The spark:

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was killed and it result in everyone protecting their allied countries.

Section 3:
Domino effect:
The domino effect is a chain reaction that occurs when a small change causes a similar change nearby, which then causes another similar change, and so on in linear sequence. The term is best known as a mechanical effect, and is used as an analogy to a falling row of dominoes. It typically refers to a linked sequence of events where the time between successive events is relatively small. It can be used literally (an observed series of actual collisions) or metaphorically (causal linkages within systems such as global finance or politics).

Week 11:

Day 1:

The rise of the dictators
fascism: a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disafree with the government: very harsh control or authority

Pror to WWI, countries had been split into two main groups or factions. In the 1930’s a strong movement was underway to bring “FACISM” into modern government.


coup de’tat


Who is Pu Yi
Economic professor Tokyo university the greater east asia co prosperity sphere.
It's the official name of the Japanese Empire before and during World War II.

It was about as factual as the slogan of the Nazi concentration camps - Work Liberates.

Administer every asia country

More and more army troop.
End of world war 2 Japan got a lot of country of asia.

Why did Germany and Italy arrive in Germany? Why did they have in common? they want to conquer.

New alliance are forming, now between democracies and dictatorship.

main features of a Democracy:
-    everybody can vote and help choose a government.
-    voters have a choice between parties.
-    government power and terms are limited.
-    Everybody, including the government must obey the laws of the land.
-    Individual and corporate freedoms: freedom of speech, assembly, religion etc are protected by the law

facism was the answer to communism. Democracy is not.


Under a facist government it can develop quickly, but in a democracy government will not develop quickly because its hard to make everyone agree on something.

Communist dictatorship were in place now (UUSR) for the first time. The new China government (Kuo Ming Tang) is dealing with BOTH a Japanese incursion And the onslaught of internal Communist undermining.


3 Case Studies:”

-USSR- Communist Dictatorship (page 118)
-Italy- Facist dictatorship (Mussolini) (Page 119)
-Germany- Socialist Dictatorship (Hitler) (Page 120-121)


Section 2: Tristan WWII Dictators

Adolf Hitler = Germany
Hideki Tojo = Japan
Josephy Stalin = Russia
Benito Mussolini = Italy



Day 2

Section 1:
Summing up Germany in the 1930

Kaiser Wilhem abdicted and fled to Holland creating a vacuum.
It was crushed by the ToV: economics burden from war reparations, loss of major industrial areas.
Weimar Republic, new, unstable
Rampant poverty. reduction of GNP (GDP)
Great depression, stock market collapse USA
Failed harvests
France seized MORE territory when Germany failed to make payments in 1923 (coal areas)

SWR

the more they don't pay the land got taken

Summing up Germany in the 1930s

The Nazi party begins. The National Socialist Workers Party.

They had a solution
A young man. poor started joining the meetings, named Hitler.
By 1932 The Nazi Party was the largest in the Reichstag (German Parliament)
In 1933, the president of Germany (Hindenburg) appointed Hitler as Chancellor (Prime Minister) (This was a trick by the Nazis.)


The trick:


He then made common cause with Hitler, persuading President Hindenburg to appoint Hitler chancellor and himself vice-chancellor. He promised the president that he would restrain Hitler's worst tendencies and that a majority of the Cabinet would go to non-Nazis. As Hindenburg's current chancellor could no longer gain a majority in the Reichstag, and Hitler could bring together a larger swath of the masses and a unified right/conservative/nationalist coalition, the president gave in. In January 1933, Hitler was named chancellor of Germany.

Media was taken over (goebbles)
Education was modified to political purposes (use today anyone?)
Jews became targets (in 1941, Jews became “enemies of the state” and were rounded up for prison camps as well.
In 1933 Hitler and the Pope signed a “corncordat” Agreement, for the Pope to recognize Hitler’s government and Hitler to allow the church to remain in Germany.
Industry improved, unemployment dropped to almost “0”
Hitler commissioned Ferdinand Porshe to design a “Volks Wagon”

prora = 10 million rooms.


People idolized Hitler because of the he gave them.

They couldn't see the one in the background

Because Hitler is so good to them they cant see that hitler is bad.


Re-armament begins
Proclamation freedom to rearm rally in 1935
Autoban created. Worlds fastest highway



Week 12:

Day 1:


Section 1:
When u have discontented people, conditions are well for revolution

Hitler Came to power in 1933 and within 6 years Germany was fighting a war which lasted 6 years and effected countries (directly and indirectly) that spanned the globe.

A british historian wrote: ”The second World War was Hitler’s personal war… he intended it, he chose the moment for launching it…”

Countdown to war review:

errol Flynn


Liebensraum

Before the Putsch in 1923: Demands from the Nazi Party were-
-    Union of All germans to form a greater Germany.
-    Cancellation of the ToV
-    Land and colonies to feed our people and settle out surplus population.

From Mein Kampf:
-    Reunion of Germany and Austria is out Life task.
-    Germany has an annual increase of 900,000… securing of new land for this excess population has great advantages

Hitler’s speeches in the 1920’s – 1930’s:

-    “… there will be never be a solution to the German problem until we return to the idea of struggle.
-    “… I aimed from the start to be a destroyer of Communism. I am going to achieve this task.
-    “… Perhaps the best way to use my power is fighting new foe for the Germany”

Hossbach Memo in 1937: (speech to leaders of armed forces)

-    “… Hitler asked that this be regarded, in the event of his death, his last will and testament…”
-    “… The aim of German foreign policy was to defend Germany and to enlarge it…”
-    Defend the check

Extract from Hitler;s last will and testament (written before he “commited suicide” in may 1945)
-    “… it is not true that I wanted war in 1939. It was brought about by those international statesmen working for Jewish interests…”





Section 2:

World war 2 involved:
-    British
-    Russian
-    France
-    Usa

Demand a union of all german to form greater german.
cancellation of the treaty of ToV
other colonies to feed german and add population

Reunite German and Austria.
annual increase: 900.000 people

Securing the land have more advantage

I am to start to become the destroyer of communism.
Perhaps to use my power if fighting for new trade for Germany.





Hitler’s overall aims for Germany
Challenge the treaty of Versailles
adapt an aggressive foreign policy
One to start to become a destroyer
his aims were not meant to start a war but he ended up starting one
he believe world war 2 was not start by him.



Day 2:

Section 1:

Had hitler plan to make the economic recovery of his country and stay true to that, he will die as a hero.


U can fool all the people some of the time
U can fool some of the people all of the time
but u cant fool all the people all of the time


We are now no longer the yoke of the ToV.

Aggresively trying to achieve the highest technology possible

ICBM = Germany
Intercontinental Ballistic Missile

The most important reason why Germany lost the war is beacuase of the reproduction and poor leadership.
Superior technology. they want to produce the best, not fast.


Quality = 1st
Mass production = 2nd


Hitler starts poker on a world war scale = bluff

1936: Conscription introduced. Factories were converted to producing arms and military supplies.
1937: Spanish Civil war as a test of new technology, as well as to show the world its edge.
1938: Hitler took personal commant of the armed force
1939: Britain and France had war, Germany had fewer tanks and air fuel


Step 1 Nov 1936: Hitler made allikances with both Italy and Japan
Step 2 March 1938: Hitler annexed Austria, sent the German army into Austria unopposed.

Excuse: To restore order I Austria. The Nazi party in Austria created the disorder. Hitler bullied the Austria leader Schuschnigg into giving Nazis all the important jobs, then forced him to resign, replaced by a Nazi, who asked Hitler to send in the German Armu to restore order. In a referendum. Austrian voted Nazi for Austrian leadership.

Step 3 (12 September 1938) Germany takes Sudentenland




Key Word: Appeasement.


Section 2:

Protect themselves
USSR = way more soldier and aircraft





Week 13 Day 2:

Section 1:






The rape initiates on the novemeber 21012 become intolerable in the long run. thoughtless trimming elimination of the national elements. German volk help yourself
everyone must help each other rich or poor.

How did the german economy restart?
rothschild


hitler’s economic recovery program


Step1 march 1936” Germany retakes Rhineland

Step 2 march 1938: Austria Annexed (Hitler’s shake and bake #1)

Step 3 September 1938: Sudetenland RETAKEN (hitler’s shake and bake #2)
(munich Conference Munich Agreement September 29)

Final steps to WAR

Step 4a (march 1939) Hitler Takes Czecholosvakia (the rest)
Europe’s Response NOTHING. it was clear POLAND would be the next Britain and France promised to help Poland if invaded.
Step 4b (august 1939) Hitler Allies with Russia
(Hitler’s shake and bake #3)
Nazi-Soviet Pact: mutual security and agreed to divide Poland

Stalen: Make all of them fight and when everyone is tired, they will take over Europe.
Step 5 (September 1 1939) Hitler RETAKES Polish Corridor
Reason Given: It was wrong to take this land away from Germany.
