Thursday April 18th Day 39

CHAPTER 14 From Appeasement to War


10.8 Students analyze the causes and consequences of World War II.
Objective:
students will be able to:
-Compare the German, Italian, and Japanese drives for empire in the 1930s, including the 1937 Rape of Nanking, other atrocities in China, and the Stalin-Hitler Pact of 1939.

-Understand the role of appeasement, nonintervention (isolationism), and the domestic distractions in Europe and the United States prior to the outbreak of World War II.

-Identify and locate the Allied and Axis powers on a map and discuss the major turning points of the war, the principal theaters of conflict, key strategic decisions, and the resulting war conferences and political resolutions, with emphasis on the importance of geographic factors.

-Describe the political, diplomatic, and military leaders during the war (e.g., Winston Churchill, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Emperor Hirohito, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower).

-Analyze the Nazi policy of pursuing racial purity, especially against the European Jews; its transformation into the Final Solution; and the Holocaust that resulted in the murder of six million Jewish civilians.

-Discuss the human costs of the war, with particular attention to the civilian and military losses in RussiaGermanyBritain, the United StatesChina, and Japan.      

-Analyze the threat to world peace posed by dictators in the 1930's and how the Western democracies responded.

-Summarize the ways in which continuing Nazi aggression led Europe to war.

Rationale:
In the aftermath of World War I Totalitarian regimes grew from the rubble. The emergence of Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, and Tojo would forever change the post-war landscape and put the world on a path to repeat the atrocities of the first World War but with superior weaponry and a more ruthless approach. Understanding the conditions which led to this rise is important, and can provide students a measuring stick in which to evaluate current political conflicts around the globe.

Evidence:
Being able to list the conditions for the totalitarian rise, the effects of various totalitarian leaders on their countries, and the response of allied powers will give students a clear understanding of what caused World War II
