WWII

=__Treaty of Versailles.__=

During your lessons on the treaty of Versailles, you will have discussed the idea that Germany were treated unfairly, and that a lot of the provisions of the treaty led directly to the rise of Nazism and the outbreak of WWII.

//First World War.com//has taken the original document (containing more than 440 articles... it's big...) and divided it into 15 sections, each dealing with a specific aspect of the treaty. Follow the link below, []

Select one of the 15 topics to focus on, then establish:

a) what event/ series of events could have led to the need for an implementation of a rule about this? b) the motive behind the specific clause(s), and its intended effect c) the impact the clause(s) had on German society

You will need to refer to other primary and secondary sources. Primary sources can include images - they do not have to be text based.

=Nazism and Fascism= //A. Fascism in Italy://

//Above all, Fascism, in so far as it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. It thus repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism — born of a renunciation of struggle and an act of cowardice in the face of sacrifice. War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it. All other trials are substitutes, which never really put a man in front of himself in the alternative of life and death.//

//Blood alone moves the wheels of History//

//Race? It is a feeling, not a reality. Ninety-five per cent, at least. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today.… National pride has no need of the delirium of race.//

//Believe, obey, fight.//
