UNIT 7 DEBATE

A1. The house which looked perfectly stable, became incinerated in a matter of seconds. The house was blown with an explosion which would smash the house into pieces. 2. If a whole town was hit by an explosion the same as the house did, the town would be gone instantly. It would be hard to find traces of life, dead or alive. They would all be burnt and gone. Everything that was in the town would be vanished. B1. I think that the people wanted the government to ban the bomb because they have probably seen the effect of the bomb. Sources which showed the bomb hitting Hiroshima and Nagasaki probably frightened the people and made them think that the world will be better without the bomb existing. 2. There was a wide range of people because everyone was scared of the bomb. Men saw other men vanish by the bomb, women saw women, children saw children. They all saw what had happened to people that were hit and all wanted the bomb to be taken away. C. If nuclear weapons are banned, the USSR would be much stronger than the US because of the quantity of weapons



Space Race I think that the Space Race was the most significant historical event because at that time, technology was enhanced at an extremely quick pace. Science had evolved slowly and only a bit quicker during wars when new weapons were needed quickie, but the space race allowed a quick pace of improvement. The competition between the US and the USSR was the motivation for technology. If they hadn't been racing against each other, maybe the technology that we have in the modern world right now might have been introduced way later.

I don't think it was right for the Allies to just only try the Nazi and Japanese leaders because they weren't the only ones who committed crimes. However, this is just an example of how war goes. If you win the war, no one knows if you did anything bad, if you lose, everything that you did is remembered and you are turned as the bad guy. The allies should have trialled everyone but they ignored the winners of the war.
 * Do you think it was right for the Allies to try only Nazi and Japanese leaders for war crimes? Explain your thinking."**

Videos Watching this video, I thought about just how many types of camps are there? The two women in the video said that they were taken to a 'twins section'. This made me think that there wasn't just a section where everyone goes but lots of different sections where people are organized. I think that the most pain to the people of the Holocaust is losing their family. No matter how hard they are beat or stripped, they would keep there family. The person here was really sad that he couldn't kiss or at least hug his mother before she had left and died. This shows the sadness of the holocaust people and the suffering the Nazis had caused. This man had to do things that he would have never done by his own will. But due to the hard times, he had too just to survive. He had to do whatever the Nazis said and had to do it only so that he could live a little longer. I think that the Nazis are destroying the mind of human and making them into monsters by their torture. Hearing that the children were burned alive shocked me. Just because there was no more room, the children were burned. The Nazis could have at least tried to make more room, not cut off the population. People were living in fear just for death. They should have joy, not fear. He had said that children had worked next to 2000degrees ovens however, that didn't shock me more compared to him saying that he cried because he couldn't save the cake for his brother. This showed that food was really rare. The guilt of eating the whole cake without sharing would be a very bad feeling for a brother. This destroys the heart of a pure child. Hearing about young girls having to bury bodies were disgusting and cruel. Her emotions were very sad and heartbreaking when she was told that her family had died. I am very happy for her that she loves seeing new life since she had seen so many lives lost and the 21 children was just amazing to see. Hearing that she did not know why she was moving after the war brought sadness to me. The time that was wasted could not be brought back. She could have had a great future and live happily while being able to love, but those times were taken. Also, seeing that her family were separated also made me sad. I would rather like to know if my family were dead or not than not knowing anything at all which would make me scared until I found out. The tattoo shocked me because it showed the efficiency and organization level of the Nazis which was shocking.

Skillbuilder #1 1. Russia had suffered the most deaths. 2. US had spent more money than Japan and Germany

Skillbuilder #2 There was a huge difference in the deaths of WWI and WWII because of many factors. First there was the development of technology. The weapons were more deadly and were better used. Planes were more useful since they had fought over land and sea. Also, the amount of countries attending was a factor of the death toll. Since there were many countries fighting, there were lots of deaths.

Document Question #1 Displaced Persons Polish people fleeing from Germany had almost no items and no one with them. They had to live for themselves. They had no places to say so a city may be crowded with refugees.

Document Question #2 Internment Camps Japanese Americans had to be watched by soldiers even while they were being sent away because they were accused of being a spy. This shows that the American government no longer takes the Japanese Americans as American citizens and as only just Japanese.

How is the same history conveyed so differently in these two videos? Which do you think is more "true": the Hollywood dramatization or the documentary? Both look very true to me but I think the Hollywood dramatization looks more true. Even though it is not a primary source and even though the primary sources are on the documentary, the Allied veterans said that the movie looked just like what they have experienced. The video showed us what the veterans had seen during the war so since it looks like a 'first person' source, I think it is more true.

I think that the Japanese internment was really unfair. The American had captured people who had absolutely nothing to do with the war. The captured people were not even treated properly. Just because they were Japanese and were living in America, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Americans had turned on the Japanese and thought that they were all spies. They said that all of the Japanese had to leave.

Nazi symbol. The people working for the Fuehrer were not treated well and were not being fed well. They also had to work a lot and give 100% loyalty to Hitler. They were also not given any vacations. This had to be done everyday. They wanted to show that having a Fuehrer is not good and that the American government is the best.
 * What wartime images do you recognize from your study of the war?
 * What are some of the messages of this cartoon?
 * Why do you think companies like Disney and Warner Brothers produced these cartoons during the war?

**Children at War** Over 3,500,000 people were evacuated to escape German bombing No-one knew where they were evacuating to or if they would return Many children were happy because they felt like it was a holiday

**Rationing** Jan 1940, food rationing was introduced. Each person could have each week: 8p worth of meat, 3pints of milk, 8ounces of sugar, 4ounces of butter or fat, 4ounces of bacon, 2ounces of tea, 1ounce of cheese, 1egg Foods such as rice,jam,biscuits,tinned food and dried fruit were rationed by points. Each family had to register a shop and could only shop there. Each member had their own ration book

**Women in War** Women volunteered to help out work. A lot of women worked for the army. Women who were too old to work could join the WVS

1.Let sam do it. (pic#1) This picture shows the League of Nations wanting America to solve the problem between Japan and China. We can see that Japan had needed to be stopped.

2.Let others sweat and toil(pic#2) Japan think that the westerners are taking too much of the benefit from the eastern countries while the eastern countries do all the work

3.pic#3 Japan is showing that the League of Nations cannot stop them surging forward. I think that this means that whatever the League of nations will do to Japan, they will not obey orders.

4.pic#4 The kangaroo, which is representing Australia, is ready to protect New Guinea from Japan. We can see that this meant serious war for Australia because the kangaroo dropped the cricket bat and picked up the gun.

1) Why did Japan attack the United States of America? Provide evidence from the source below in your answer. US were always against the Japanese for all situations. They did not support the Japanese buy not trading with them and not shipping materials. US was also against Japan when they tried to invade China. All of the other actions that the US had done did not match with what the Japanese had wanted so it annoyed them. This kept on happening and eventually, the Japanese planned to attack the US and they did eventually.

 * Podcast Key Events **

1940, German have taken over Poland, Denmark, Norway, France Operation Sea Lion planned 18 June 1940 Churchill informs nation that they will go to battle. German aircrafts outnumbered the RAF Britain used radar to detect speed, height of the aircraft German planes attack stations and RAF struggle RAF attack Berlin, so Hitler attack London and other cities. Attack gave time to repair RAF airfields and stronger, improved air force came 15th September, German planes fall German invasion plans postponed


 * Questions**

Operation Sea Lion was the German attempt to invade Britain in full scale. It was aborted after the defeat in the Blitz.
 * 1) What was Operation Sea Lion?

2. Why did the battle not look good for Britain? The battle did not look good for Britain because with all of its allies either occupied or became a puppet state, Britain was hopelessly outnumbered.

3. What advantage did Britain have? Britain had the radars to detect German planes

4. What was Germany's mistake? German’s mistake was that they attacked London

5. What was the impact of the bombing of London? How did the bombing of London aid Britain's cause? The bombing of London made Britain angry and made them attack back at Germany. Germany made another enemy.

6. Why was the outcome of the battle of Britain significant for the Allies The outcome of the battle of Britain was significant for the Allies because more German planes had fallen than Britain. It had showed signs of Allies defeating Germany.

> **Read the newspaper below about the Battle of Britain, and watch the two videos, then write a short paragraph that explains why the British were able to hold off the German invasion when they were militarily weaker. Use evidence to support your ideas. Post your work on your gallery page.** >

Britain were able to defeat even though they were outnumbered because the RAF had citizens backing them up, including The Women's Voluntary Service who kept working in order to supply the RAF and the Home Front Army who kept watching out for enemy planes. These supplied help to the needed RAF. Germany had also made a mistake by attacking cities while the RAF were repairing their airports and making better aircrafts. Britain also had the radar which helped them a lot by detecting enemy planes, making it easier to make strategies to attack the enemy force. Even though it was the RAF which did the physical jobs to keep off the Germans, it was the citizens who helped out the most to hold of Germany by backing up the RAF. Without them, Britain would have been taken.

The Treaty of Versailles added to China's problems because China had wanted to gain freedom from foreign influence by battling against Germany, but instead of gaining freedom after fighting for the Allies, the land of China that Germany controlled was given to Japan. This caused the angry Chinese to protest.
 * Station 1**
 * 4. How did the Treaty of Versailles add to China's problems?**

Before the 20th century, Japan were a weak island. Once it got to do trading with America, Japan became stronger and stronger. They later changed everything into Europe's and America's ways. They soon became one of the strongest powers in Asia. When China broke the rule not to send armies in Korea, Japan went into war and sent China out of Korea. In 1904, Japan and Russia fought over the Manchurian territory. Japan had defeated Russia which shocked the world. In 1910, Japan invaded Korea. They had changed everything in Korea the Japanese way byt shutting down Korean newspapers, changing schools so Japanese history and language were taught, taking Korean farmers land and giving it to Japanese settlers, factories for Japanese and so that Koreans cannot start businesses. This led to the Koreans protesting. During 1920s and 1930s, Japan was being criticized for its expansions. This angered the Japanese, making it want to the world about their expansion policies. They said that expanding is the only way to solve their problems with their overwhelming population. Japan had 3 solutions, emigration, advancing into the world market, and expansion. They say that first two doors ( emigration and advancing into the world market) are closed so that they are going for the last door. Japans invasion of Korea shows that they were being too harsh on their expansion. Koreans worked in harsh conditions and about 4,000,000 Koreans and Chinese people were sent to work for the Japanese military and to work for the max production of the mother country(Japan)
 * Station 2**

I think that Mao was as evil as Stalin because even though he did a lot for his country like Stalin, he was also responsible for 17 million deaths. Helping the country is great however, sacrificing citizens for the country doesn't look right. I didn't think that Stalin was a good leader because of how he treated his countrymen and I feel the same about Mao because he had put his people to death as well as Stalin. If he had reduced a lot of deaths, then he might have become a great leader.

Poster: Moor, Dimitri. Cossack - Who are you with, them or us?, 1920 1. What is the message that this poster is is trying to get out to the Russian people? I think that this poster is trying to convince the Russian people to join the Russian government and that if they will join the government, they will not have to work like the poor people who have small amounts of food. 2. Do you find this piece of propaganda to be compelling? Why or why not? I find this piece of propaganda compelling because it shows the difference between the workers and the people in the government. The workers have pitchforks and are coloured red which probably shows that they are living hard and they are skinny. On the other hand, the government is coloured white and has bags of money all around them and are fat, which shows that they have eaten a lot of food.
 * Propaganda Poster Q's**

Russia had a revolution in 1917 because the people of Russia were unhappy. Even though Czar Nicholas II made Russia a leading country of producing steel, the quick production caused problems for the workers. The working conditions were poor, wages were low, and the children also had to work. Due to this, strikers occurred from the workers. 1903, workers split into 2 groups. One of the groups was led by Vladimir Lenin called the Bolsheviks. Russia lost against Japan in 1904. 1905, Russians had killed hundreds of hungry workers who had asked for relief. Then, after the costs of WWI, the czar lost control of Russia. Workers protested, soldiers joined into the crowd and shot officers. The czar was forced to step down. Alexander Kerensky took control of the Russian government. He formed local councils called soviets. Some soviets had more power than the government. Lenin returned to Russia and his "Peace, Land, and Bread" slogan was taken by people. 1917, armed workers too control of the government and the Kerensky reign was done. Lenin quit the war after making a treaty with Germany. Forces opposing Lenin's revolution fought against them for 3 years. 15million Russians had died, but Lenin had won. 1921, Lenin decided to rebuild the Russian economy. He changed the government to a new nation- The Soviet Union.

The Treaty of Versailles reflected the different personalities and agendas of the men in power at the end of World War I because of the requirements that each country had wanted. For example, France was very agressive due to all of the costs that they paid during the war. France wanted revenge on Germany and so the agenda was very large and had lots of agressive requirements on the list such as making the German military back off the French border and greatly dismantled the German army. On the other hand, the US wasn't agressive. They were very calm because the war wasn't fought on their land unlike France. The US loaded money to the allies and gave them weapons. All the US wanted back now is the money with the interest. There was no need to be agressive. The personalities and agendas of men in power at the end of the war was decided on how the war was fought for their country.

Using the table above, explain the characteristics of each type of Nationalistic movement in your own words. // Unification is when two places that were politically divided but are the same culture unify. Separation is when a group who's culture is not right with the other group tries to separate. State-building is when a culturally distinct group becomes added to a big group by taking in a new culture from the big group // 2. What do you think would have happened to the empires (e.g. Austrian Empire, Ottoman Empire) during the rise of nationalism? // They each would have been a stronger nation and maybe even kinder to their neighbour countries so that they could be more powerful.

CASE STUDY GERMANY 1) 2a) Prussia's land is divided into 2 due to the big chunk of land in the middle. 2b) 1871 was the year when the biggest expansion was made after 1865. 3) The German national symbol contains a lion and fire. The lion represents courage and the flames behind represents power. Germany has won their battle with great courage and strong firepower so this is the perfect symbol for the Germans.

Task 1

The balance of justice is no longer balanced, Asians are being used as scapegoats only for the imperialists benefit. If they revolt or disobey, they will be slaughtered according to "justice". British/Americans are viewed as the ones who have altered justice. They only kill people just because they disobey. Costs of imperialism are human lives. Many people seem to have died during imperialism because they were not happy with the fact that they were being used only for the benefit of someone who has come from overseas and have taken over their land.

I think that his theory applies the culture and society. Just like how he said about the survival of the fittest, the countries with the most strongest traits get to take over and survive the best. Since they are the most fittest, they get to keep their culture and goods. However, the colonized countries who have been taken over by the fittest, their culture gets altered by the fitter countries. Because their culture got altered, they don't have much to pass on which is just their and only theirs. The fitter countries have all their goods and culture so they can pass it on to the next generation without any danger.

So is that "natural", right and good? Stronger/richer/bigger countries should be allowed to take over other countries? 8/10

'The White Man's Burden' Questions

The white man's burden based on Rudyard Kipling's description in the poem is that the white men have to rule people in countries that are less better than their white men's country. I disagree because to be honest, even though it is true that the majority of 'White' people have the upper hand over other races, the other races can develop by themselves too without interference. Europeans and Americans have looked down at the other races because of their tone and have thought that they were dumber. In the poem, it says that the other races need teaching. I don't think so because I don't think anyone thinks they are superior just because of their skin colour. To add to that, I definitely don't see any white people looking down at others. If there was, it would be a disgrace and humiliation to an 'international' school.
 * 1. What is “The White Man’s Burden” based on Rudyard Kipling’s description in this poem?**
 * 2. Do you agree or disagree with Kipling’s characterization? Why or why not?**
 * 3. What does this say about the attitude of Europeans and Americans toward the rest of the world during the mid 1800 - early 1900’s? Use specific examples from the poem.**
 * 4. Is KIS an example of “The White Man’s Burden” in modern Korean society? Why or why not?**

A good beginning, but you answers are unfinished. For example, what does it mean to "have to" rule? 8/10

due 2/3 Document-Based Questions The industrialization disorders the market if one place is so much higher than the other. Also, since the industrialization helps the richer get richer but makes the poorer get poorer, poor people can die without disturbing the equanimity of the middle classes. Mary has more experience than other girls because she is from the countryside where she has already learned her skills. She likes it there because she gets satisfying rewards for her employment. The picture shows that socialism is saving the workers. Capitalism is hurting the workers but socialism is helping them.
 * 1. Why would Andrew Carnegie and Friedrich Engels disagree about the effects of industrialization?**
 * 2. What might be reasons for 16-year-old Mary Paul's satisfaction with her job and life in Lowell.**
 * 3. Why might the political cartoon by Walter Crane be useful in getting workers to rally to the cause of socialism.**

You haven't really answered the first question, and your answer to the second question doesn't take into account that the skills needed in the mills would not have been learned in the countryside. 7/10

1/31 Communism

__Would Marx have agree that these countries were "communist"?__ I think that Karl Marx would have disagreed with these as "communist" because his idea of communism was everyone to be equal in every way so that the government would no longer be necessary however, the may have shared everything but the government still exists and not all people are equal. There are a minority of individuals who have absolute superior power above everyone else.

__What has happened to the "communist" world (once called the "Second World", to distinguish it from the "First World" -- wealthy capitalist countries, and the "Third World" -- poor countries)?__ The communist world was first quite widespread throughout the world but was not as successful as capitalism. And to be able to connect with the other countries, being capitalism was better so many countries abandoned communism and changed to capitalism but still a few countries are still communism. Communist countries aren't so successful as capitalism because they do not use the money a lot for their people and to help the people.

__Why do you think this has happened?__ I think this has happened because the government wants to use the money to make their country the most powerful country.

__What do you think of the idea that the growing gap between the rich and poor in the industrialized world never materialized because of the Union movement (the formation of trades unions who unite to demand better working conditions for workers) and reform laws (to improve conditions for workers, eg. safety requirements, limits on the length of the working day, minimum wages)?__ I dont think that the idea is such a good one to materialize it because obviously, not all cannot be rich. Even though the minority are the rich people, they still have most of the power due to their wealth. Making poor people richer does not work that easily also. Some people might be poor because they don't have the ability and the skills to be rich, some may have just been unlucky due to economy crisis but most are poor because of their abilities. Making the poor richer is not going to help if they cannot help the nation. And anyways, if the poor work for the rich, then even though the poor earn money, the rich will earn more money due to the profits. So I don't think that materializing can work that well.


 * 1) **The Industrial Revolution, and the urbanization that accompanied it, have been described as a mixed blessing. To what extent to you agree with this statement?** I agree with this statement because there were positives and negatives due to the urbanization. More people gained jobs, the nation got rich and technology increased. People got healthier, got houses and had more clothes. Workers earned higher wages. However there were also bad times during the urbanization. Children had to work in factories and were nor protected by law. Adult workers had to work all day and had to work in dangerous dirty places which reduced their life span.

CHILD LABOR

I read that child labor was very popular where ever industrial capitalism flourished. Children were working on almost every jobs. Adults employed them for less money than adults. However, child abuse was also an issue. Adults beat the children and the children could not defend themselves because they were too weak. Children also had to work in places where it effected their health badly. I saw in the pictures girls sewing dresses, boys walking with adults for their lunches, a barefoot boy selling matches, girls spinning silk, boys working in textile factories, a bit more older boys working in glass factories, boys working in cotton factories in which the dust gave them lung diseases, and people of all ages standing outside of the factories including many children. I think all of these children had a hard life and a short one maybe due to all the diseases from the factories and from fatigue due to the work rate.

> Absolutism was a theory of kingship whereby the monarch ruled a centralized state with absolute sovereignty. > Kings were the representatives of God on earth so they could make any rule that they wanted and if anybody challenged them, they were challenging God. > Absolutism was when a monarch had absolute power over his people. Monarchs could make any rule that they wanted and anyone who disobeyed were challenging God. Absolutism rose quickly. When Phillip II took the throne, he had massive territory so he managed everywhere. King Louis XIV also managed the whole of France and its territories as he believed that he was God’s lieutenant. In England, the Tudor monarchs worked with the parliament to increase their power. These powers were absolute and could not be disobeyed. This time the power of monarchs were at the peak. This time of the world, monarchs were at the top.

This map shows that there are a lot of muslims all around the world, and that there are also muslims in China.
 * Countries with more than 1 million muslims**

This map shows that Zheng He planned his voyages near the muslim territory. I think the purpose of this is so that he could get along well with the Islamic empire.
 * Voyages of Zheng He**

China's Age of Exploration II  Zhu Di's grand dream to bring the entire world into China's tributary system. This was a loose, but extremely stable way to organize and control an empire: make neighboring countries pay tribute (to acknowledge that you're the boss), but then, to keep them from feeling resentment, give them presents in return that more than exceed the value of the tribute they pay. Result? A stable trading empire, no wars between central power and tributary states, relatively cheap cost of governing a large territory! Smart, right?It worked so well, Zhu Di wondered why China could not do the same thing for the whole world. He also wanted to search the world for that nasty cousin of his, the one who had become the second Ming emperor, and then disappeared when Zhu Di raised an army to gain the throne. He appointed his Grand Eunuch (a "eunuch" is a man who's, well, had some important parts of his anatomy cut off!) to be the Commander-in-Chief of a vast fleet -- the biggest the world had ever known (and the biggest it would know until the Allies' D-Day Invasion in World War II!). Zheng He was a Muslim (Yes, there are Muslims in China!) who had never sailed before, but he became one of the world greatest admirals.

 * 1st Picture**

I see.....A naked man alone on the surface and God with a lot of ladies on the heavens. I think.....This painting shows the difference of power between a worthless human with no power and God, who has superior power. He looks like he is willing to offer a bit of his power in exchange for something.I think the clothes also mean power, God has clothes on but the human has nothing on him. I wonder.....why they chose a man and God to represent power? If the picture is about power.

I see.....2 hands almost about to meet. I think.....This painting shows how close humans are with the heavens. I wonder.....Why the 2 hands don't connect but are so close.

When China dominated the world 9/5/2011
- This picture shows everything in a simple way. The European ship is tiny compared to the Chinese ship. This shows the difference of the power between the two.
 * China's Golden Age**

- If "the Holy Roman Emperor, the Emperor of Byzantium (also called Constantinople), the Doge (ruler) of Venice, and the kings of England, France, Castille and Portugal" were invited, they would have come from Rome, Greece, Venice, England (London), France (Paris), Spain (Madrid), Portugal (Lisbon) respectively.
 * Europe in 1400**

- The image shows how China grew in power as the Emperors changed. This shows that the emperors have passed on the Chinese power well to their descendants. China have now formed a huge country since the start of their reign.
 * Territories of Dynasties in China**

- The Chinese people went through a lot of countries to sell goods. They went through India, Persia, Arabia, Egypt, and eventually into Europe.
 * The Silk Routes**

- This map shows the population of Europe between 1400-1600. Menzie noted that the new walled population of was to be fifteen hundred times the area of walled London and housing fifty times the population because he needed to dazzle his people and intimidate their enemies with amazing population.
 * European urban population 1400-1600**

- The map of the great walled capital by Zhu Di shows that the whole city is focused on only one place and the outer part is just there so that the inner part cannot be seen. So in this map, they are hiding the forbidden city from everything else. However, on the modern map, everything is equal. The city is not focused on one point of the city and it is similar everywhere.
 * Beijing City Wall/Beijing Map Overview**

- If China's wall had been extended 1400km more, then China may have crossed over into arabic territory which may have caused a lot of conflicts between the two countries. If they have had conflicts, either one of them would have fallen and history would have changed to either the Chinese way as a very very dominant country or the Arabic way as they conquer China.

These two maps represents the active campaign of the Islamic people. They seem to have been very strong in land, but weak at sea because most of Europe, who have great Navy's, have not been conquered or have found independence quickly.



This is the time when the islamic people seem to have finished campaigning and are happy to settle on a certain amount of land.


My Family's History 8/23

Event: When I was born. Description:I was born at July 1st 1996, I was born in an hospital in Seoul. The reason I chose this is because if I wasn't born, there wouldn't be anything in this world that is related to me and I would not be an existence.

Unwritten Source: I chose My photo of when I was 1week old because I didn't have a clear photo when I was just born because my mother didn't want flashes on me when I was just born.



Written Source: I chose my birth certificate as my written source. I don't have all of the info because my mother didn't want all the information to go up. This proves that I was born by surgery and that my blood type is B+. If I didn't have this certificate, It would have seemed like I was born illegally. Certificate is key to proof.

media type="file" key="My Song 2.m4a" width="300" height="50" Podcast: In this podcast my mother tells us how it was like when I was born and how she felt. She felt so happy when I was born because I was her first baby.
