CHAPTER 11 World War 1 and The Russian Revolution


Objective:
Students will be able to analyze the arguments leaders from all sides of the Great War and the role of political and economic rivalries, ethnic and ideological conflicts, domestic discontent and disorder, and propaganda and nationalism in mobilizing the civilian population in support of "total war"
Examine the principal theaters of battle, major turning points, and the importance of geographic factors in military decisions and outcomes (eg., topography, waterways, distance, climate)

Rationale:
The "War to End all Wars" has many different interpretations as to its cause, its various changes and turns during, and its outcome. The effects of the war impacted many changes that occurred after its end (depression, WWI, etc). Students should understand the environment that led to the first war that was not relegated to one specific area but impacted an entire continent as well as other surrounding continents.

Evidence:
Being able to list the factors which led to the conflict, evaluate those factors for their merit or lack there of, and propose possible solutions that may have prevented the war, or changed the terms of the surrender which may have prevented or altered the World War that followed will allow students to gain insights as to how historical events were addressed.

Essential Question - Do we control the air over our country?


North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watches a long range rocket launched into the air in this still image taken from KRT footage and released by Yonhap on February 7, 2016. (REUTERS/Yonhap)
Journal Entry 
Japan attacked and controlled Korea in (Chapter 10 page 325) 1894. In 1910 it annexed Korea outright absorbing the land into the Japanese empire. By 1919 an uprising occurred but Japan crushed it killing many Koreans. Korea has never forgot these events and there exists today a clear level of animosity between North Korea and Japan. North Korea just had a nuclear test this week and a satellite launch launch. (the satellite flew over Levi stadium yesterday just after the Super Bowl)
Here is how the world reacted...
"China is more cautious than some of the rest of us, for reasons that we do understand," he said. "What we will be doing, the United States and Japan will be doing, is seeking to persuade the Chinese that it is in the interests of all of the international community now to apply some more direct economic pressure on North Korea at this point." Hammond called North Korea's actions "extremely destabilizing" for the region and said Britain would be summoning Pyongyang's ambassador in response.
If you were president, how would you respond? (remember Japan is an ally, South Korea is an ally, China is a trading partner, and North Korea still blames the USA for their countries split, and wants to kill/destroy America)
