Accelerated World History: Thursday April 20th Day 38

CHAPTER 14 From Appeasement to War

Objective:
students will be able to:
-Analyze the threat to world peace posed by dictators in the 1930's and how the Western democracies responded.
-Describe how the Spanish Civil War was a “dress rehearsal” for World War II.
-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
