Things to consider for tomorrow's test

*Why are Hitler and Mussolini able to rise to power, challenge the Treaty of Versailles, and no one stops them?

*Why aren't there any other countries in Europe that are able to stop the aggression of Germany & Italy?  Why is the United States not involved?

*Why are the people of Italy and Germany so willing to let Hitler and Mussolini rise to power?

*When times are tough economically, who do people look to?  What do they want in their leaders?

*Know this stuff:
        -League of Nations
        -War Guilt Clause
        -Fascism & Nazism
        -The importance of what nationalism brings to a country's people

CONFIDENCE COMES FROM PREPARATION AND DEMONSTRATED ABILITY

Test tomorrow

Students should have all their review questions filled out from the Chapter 16 worksheets.  We have our CSA tomorrow in class.
