CHAPTER 14 From Appeasement to War


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).


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

(Normally) You would be placed in partnerships based on the number of your seat. The odd number is partnered with the even number above them (i.e 1 is partnered with 2, 3 is partnered with 4, etc). You will be provided two sets of primary docs to review (odd number does A and B, Even number does C,D,E). Once you have finished the docs and written your hypothesis, each person will compare their hypothesis to see if there is an agreement or not. If agreed, identify what factors/reasons you agree on, if disagreement, identify what factors/reasons you disagree
(seeing we are in Covid 19 lockdown, simply select one or the other section to answer)

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

Updates...

We (teachers) are in the dark just like you as to when the "closed schools" issue will cease. There have been reports in the news that make coming back to school this year a question. We have not heard from SJUSD to indicate our 3-week break will be extended. I am planning on posting previous blog pages with materials and assignments so if students wanted to at least get access to the materials they would be available.
