World History

Below are the learning resources and the assignment. I think a good choice would be
"the Treaty of Versailles" as this can be taken off the internet. Only need 2-3 paragraphs in the requested format.

Discussion - Week 5 Collapse

Between Two Fires

Imagine you are a "fly on the wall" in the time between the two "fires," World War I and World War II. What is it that you would see and hear? What are the topics of the day?

Perhaps, you are a fly on the wall in a train with Mahatma Gandhi and his colleagues, or on the windshield of Henry Ford's new Model T. Maybe you are being swatted by Woodrow Wilson himself as he and his Allied comrades struggle with the finalization of the Treaty of Versailles. What are the conversations you might hear?

And, for that matter, imagine looking in on a heated discussion among, say, Benito Mussolini or Adolf Hitler and top advisors discussing the injustices of post-war settlements or strategies for reclaiming their nation's prominent status.

For your Discussion this week, you will analyze the political, economic, and social effects of one element occurring between World War I and World War II.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Choose one of the following elements as the topic of your discussion:
  
• 
  
  • 
    
  • The Treaty of Versailles OR
  • 
    
  • Anticolonialism OR

  • Militarism OR

  • Increases in Military OR
  • 
    
  • Cultural Innovations (writing, music, arts) OR

• Review Chapter 9 (pp. 131–137) and Chapter 11 (pp. 154–171), as well as the Treaty of Versailles and President Wilson's Fourteen Points in this week's Learning Resources to help you analyze the political, economic, and social effects of your chosen element.
