I don't think anyone checks this anymore. But do we still have to do an outline for tomorrow's question?

AP Review Assignment

Ms Chipman,
Clarification for the AP review powerpoint: the due date says April 9th 2007. Is this a typo. Also, the meetings that were schduled, are/were they to be conducted before or after spring break?

Thanks, and I apoligise if you already pointed this out during class,
Sim

ASSIGNMENT FOR MONDAY MARCH 24TH AND 25TH

I will be out the first two days back from spring break. You still need to print out and bring to class the docs for those days on the calendar. In class, you should discuss and OPVL the docs. OPVLs should be done independently.

Both of these documents are great for getting insight into the Cold War, and will be foundational for our discussion of this time period. Pay close attention to them.

We will watch Atomic Cafe when I come back.


Be focused while I'm gone--tick, tick, tick goes that AP clock.

Happy break!

Today's Test

I know that today's test question was a particularly difficult one, and I am glad you guys all buckled down and just did your best.

If you would like to write a timed essay on one of the other two questions for extra credit you can. Here are the guidelines:

1) It must be done in my presence, so before school, after school or on your lunch.

2) It must be done by next Friday (which means you will have to decide BEFORE you get your grade on the essay you took today).

3) You may choose which of the other two essays you would like to write.

4) I will enter the second essay as another score out of 100 points into your grade rather than add points directly into your current grade.

Wilson's Fourteen Points

Wilson proposal to make international interaction more peaceful and productive was much easier said than done. Countries just getting out a war of that magnitude were not going to be too willing to cooperate with the people they were just trying to destroy. Most, if not all of Wilson's points could not be achieved without the mutual cooperation of all the powers. During the time period Communism started to gain momentum and the European nations were distrustful of foreign intervention in their countries. Wilson seemed to have to give up all his points so that he could build up the League of Nations. The League of Nations was supposed to do what it could to prevent war but because it was made up of powers that all wanted parts of the same land, it could not be neutral towards the Axis-powers. To achieve world peace Wilson would have had to have the backup and consent of the more powerful nations and because he did not his ideas for creating world peace were not realistic.

Wilson's 14

Wilson's fourteen points after World War I were completely unrealistic and out of the question to almost all of the other countries that took part in the war. They may have been the best solution to keeping the nations out of any future wars, but at the time, these demands were hard to grasp by the nations much more devastated by the Great War. France was bent on receiving its reperations from Germany so as to pay for the damage caused by war on its own soil. Britain was against any admittance of freedom of seas because it hoped to retain its tion of the seas after thge demise of the German Unterseeboats (U-boats). Most importantly, Wilson's last point, the creation of the League of Nations, was inaccessible at the time due to the stubbornness of the nations as well as the very few world powers at the time. A small group of countries in the League of Nations would have created a sort of international empire prone to destroying the growth of threatening nations.
