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

Gandhi Test Monday
