-Summarize the ways in which continuing Nazi aggression led Europe to war.
Rationale:
The aftermath of World War I with its winners and losers sets the stage for totalitarians to raise among the rubble of defeated countries. 5 powerful men emerge from the social and political situation and transform the way government and power operate in a society. These separate developments continue to grow in power and influence and each begins to stake its claim to regain the losses of WWI. These actions sets the stage for WWII
Evidence:
Being able to list the various policies and actions taken by certain countries and the response to those actions will demonstrate that students can track the various precursors to WWII
Pablo Picasso's Painting depicting his impression of Guerinca Spain
The most debated of Guernica are the bull and the horse. The bull has numerous historical references, beginning in Greek mythology as the Minotaur. Secondly, the bull has long been central to Spanish tradition due to its association with corrida, or bullfighting, and with duende, the brave spirit of passion and inspiration shown even on the brink of death. These two cultural notions are moreover strongly intertwined, as the act of corrida requires the kind of courage and strength through which duende manifests itself. Picasso’s interest in these ideas came through even in his earlier sketches, and throughout his career he slowly became more and more fixated on the image of the bull and of heroic demise. In fact, many of the figures Picasso chose to include in Guernica are incidentally reappearances from his previous works, which holds true for the bull derived from his 1935 etching Minotauromachia. Moreover, the bull is conventionally seen as a hallmark of brutal and virile masculinity, which in turn gives way to its interpretations in context of the Civil War. As it looms ominously above the rest of the canvas, the bull has been taken to depict the threatening fascist regime, or even Franco himself. The horse symbol then, which acts as an inverse to the bull in Guernica, has consequently been seen as an emblem of feminine vulnerability and therefore also as the suffering people of the Spanish Republic.
