Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

The documentary shows disturbing images of bodies and the methods of death the Nazis carried out.You see corpses piled high and starvation and dismemberment is not hidden in Auschwitz.The documentary which is the real perspective of the holocaust is better than the Hollywood version in the sense that it actually shows real footage, but night and fog definetly wins it just because of the actual footage that they show which is gruesome to say the least and enough to raise the hairs on your back. This movie actually shocked and surprised me. I have never seen anything so sick and disturbing as this video, its so hard to imagine that anything like this could actually happen.

The Treaty of Versailles

Germany did it!
The treaty of Versailles is the treaty that ended the war in the palace Versailles. This ended the ww1 for the whole continent of Europe. the whole thing affected germany for their damage, they decrease the german millitary up to 100,000 men and cut their fleets in half. They were to lose also 13 percent of their land, along with 48 percent of all iron production was lost long with the land.


I believe that the treaty of Versailles was completely unfair. Although Germany did lose the war they were still unfairly treated and punished. It was because of this that ww2 was started. Germany felt this and they took revenge as soon as they could.

Mustafa Kemal and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is a Turkish Muslim. He was mostly involved in religion and politics. Mustafa Kemal wanted to modernized the religion, Islam in Turkey. Mustafa didn't want to wear the traditional stuff that Muslims wore in the Middle East. He believed that religion is religion, you don't have to wear a specific thing. He felt that since they're in Europe, they wanted themselves to blend in the European style. Like he wanted them to wear such things, like jackets, hats, shoes, pants, and etc. that Europeans wore at that time, since Turkey is part of Europe.
He wanted the Turkish people to be considered civilized among their European neighbors. His main focus was on how the people dressed. He also got rid of the Islamic calendar and replaced it with the western calendar. He thought that if maybe he could change the way they dressed then maybe he can change the way they think and make them more liberal and open minded.

Gandhi

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind:

Gandhi was considered the father of india. Gandhi was one of the most influential people in india. He helped india overcome its suppressors,England. He did this by organizing a bunch of peaceful protests and boycotting a lot of british products and goods. He believed that non-violence would help him and it did.

Gandhi thought that if maybe he would not fight then the enemy would look bad and everyone would be on his side. I believe that if gandhi did not exist, india would still be able to gain its independence, but it would have taken them some time. India's independence would have still been achieved but not only would it have taken longer but it would have also been much, much longer. India wanted its independence because they were being oppressed and british goods were being forced onto to them.

The Russian Revolution

Causes of WW1

The world at War... and everyone else.

World War 1 was one of the most deadliest wars in history. The war was said to have began when the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, but the truth is that there were many other reasons. One of these being nationalism. Nationalism was a big cause of the war. People would fight over land and would hate each other because of their love for their country. Militarism also contributed because all the countries would build their military and make other countries suspicious.

Opium wars

The british would only trade gold and silver for tea from china. China didn't need anything besides the gold that Britain had but Britain didn't want to trade gold for tea. so instead britain decided to trade opium. Britain thought if maybe they could get china addicted to opium then they could trade that for tea. The chinese tried to fight off the drugs. Sadly they couldn't and the drug was forced upon them. the british won because of their superior navy and weapons.
