This assignment is designed to explore conditions before World War II in countries that would become known as the "Axis Powers" and the "Allies" in the U.S. during WWII. If you missed this assignment, choose two countries to examine, and add information about their economic, social, and political systems to the "European Conditions Organizer." Then add the problems they faced that you think might have contributed to war. When you return to class, see me about getting information on the rest of the countries.
Today we looked at the reasons why the German people followed Hitler and allowed the Nazis to take control of their country. Read the "Thucydides/Goering" piece and paraphrase the main point of each on the back. Then read "What they believed" and note any questions you have. If you missed the video, go ahead and print out the accompanying sheet and see me when you return to class.
