Lets find out what you learned last term!

On your table you will see a blank piece of sugar paper

This is a table competition – lets see which table remembers the most information about the TOV without their books

You have 5 minutes to write as much as possible!

Over the holidays I set you the task of writing a 10 mark answer to the question above.

What do we need to do in a 10 mark question?

This question requires: (You will mark your own answer)

1. Introduction – what was the League of Nations and its aims

2. What failures it had – explain why they were failures (1m for

eg, 2m if explained how it was a failure, same again if there is another example)

3. What successes it had – explain why they were successes (1m

for eg, 2m if explained how it was a success, same again if there is another example)

4. Conclusion – was the LON a success or a failure overall in

the 1920s? Link back to your examples and link back to the

LON original aims (2m if they give reasons why it was failure/success)

You will be presented with section 1 of you exam paper like the one you will face as part of your GCSE’s

You have to answer all questions and you will have 1 hour in order to do so

This is not long so you will need to write fast! (this is the time you will have in the real exam)

Hint – look a the marks and remember what you need to do for each type of question

Hint 2 – always get as much of your own knowledge/facts in as you can – show the examiner what you know

Successes Failures

Disarmament - remember the aim of the LON was to ensure peace for

the future

The Locarno Treaty – This will e very important to know when we

look at Hitler

Aims:

1. To promote international co-operation, peace and security by accepting an obligation not to go to war

2. To promote open, just and honorable relations between nations

3. To lay out a system of international law

4. To maintain, or help to modify, treaties between nations

Starter:As a group rank the 4 aims of the League in order of success during the 1920s – you need to justify your answers

Discuss what you think were the weaknesses of the League of Nations from what you have read so far about its structure, leadership and restraints when handling problems.

Criticism Evidence For Evidence against

The League was too slow to act

Members would only act on their own interests, not the Leagues

Without the USA the League was powerless

Below is a table of what the critics of the League of Nations argued. Copy the table into your books and look through your reports to find evidence that supports these arguments or goes against the arguments

Based on the evidence you have found: which of the three problems restricted the League the most? Why?

Refugees – 400,000 prisoners of war were returned to their homes . Helped During the Turkey Crisis of 1922

Working Conditions – limited the hours children could work. Reduced working hours to 48 hours a week

Health – reduced Leprosy and Malaria

Transport – introduced highway code and shipping lanes

Social Problems – Blacklisted four international companies involved in the drugs trade . Freed 200,000 slaves in Sierra Leone

The Locarno Treaty 1924 – Germany accepts its borders agreed by the T of V and Germany joins the League in 1926.

The Kellogg-Briand Pact 1928 - 65 countries agreed not to use force to settle disputes (although none of the countries would disarm as they said they needed their armies for self-defence

Your Task:

To find out what and when the Wall Street Crash was as well as what caused it.Also try and think about the impact it would have on the world (other countries) – think about Germany, Britain and France in particular

Hint – for the last bit have a look at the Dawes Plan 1924

America profited more than any other country during World War I because they were not involved in the war at the start but supported the allies by producing lots of weapons and clothes for them which was easy due to their large amount of industry

This gave lots of people in USA lots of jobs and lots f money. The government made lots of profits as well as they were selling the weapons for a lot more than they cost to make

With more money to spend people brought lots of luxury goods such as cars, radios, going to the cinema’s and invested on the stock market.

President Hoover’s aim: “a chicken in every pot and two cars in every garage”.

Companies borrow money to pay for equipment or staff etc

Investors get a share of the profit the company makes

‘Shareholders’ can sell their shares on the stock market.

This is based in Wall Street, New York Prices can change every day according to how well

the company is doing. Prices can also change no matter how the company

is doing this is called Speculation

Ford were making a car every 10 seconds!!

However, not everyone was enjoying the economic boom. Items such as cars and electrical goods were brought by the upper classes and by 1929 those who could afford such goods had already brought them. This meant sales declined in many industries.

People began to try and sell their shares in companies but there were not enough buyers….

Almost every company in America lost money along with most of the American population.

America entered into its worst economic depression ever!!

12 million people lost their jobs12,000 people lost their jobs every day23,000 people committed suicide in one year in 1930 (the most ever)

What effect the depression would have on the rest of the world?

Think about how today’s depression affects lots of different countries

What effect the depression would have on the League of Nation’ s effectiveness?

I have not worked since last year

I will support anyone who can get the country back to work

If we had our own empire we would have the resources we need to stop the depression affecting us

Reparations have caused this mess

The bank has closed we have lost everything

We need tough leaders who will not be pushed around by the League or the USA

We should ban all foreign goods, this will the jobs of our workers

Go onto Google and type in Wall Street Crash ppt

Open the second power point

You need to investigate How the Wall Street Crash in the USA lead to Hitler coming into power in Germany

The areas you need to cover:

1. Who were the people who suffered in Germany from the depression and why2. Why the government was held responsible3. What Hitler and the Nazis did to take advantage of the situation4. How they used propaganda to influence people

The Manchuria Crisisyou need to read the information on the crisis from the textbooks and you need to produce a detailed timeline of the important events that occurred

Who was to blame for the Leagues failure over Manchuria; the Leagues structure or the individual members? Justify your answer

1920s Japan became a major power – large army, strong industry, growing empire

1930s - Depression in the 1930s hits Japan badly as China and USA put trade tariffs on Japanese goods

Japanese army leaders wanted to expand Japanese empire by force

September 1931 Japan army throw all Chinese out of Manchuria

February 1932 puppet government set up in Manchuria

1932 – Japanese aeroplanes bomb Shanghai

Japanese government tells Japanese army to withdraw but they are ignored – it is clear that the Japanese army is in control of

Japanese foreign policy not the government

China appeals to the League – Japan says it is settling a local difficulty and that China was in anarchy and this was needed to

keep peace

September 1932 the League decides Japan acted unlawfully and give Manchuria back to China

February 1933 Japan announces they intend to invade more of China in Slef defence

24th February the League votes against this action

Japan leave the League on 27th March 1933

The next week they invade Jehol

The League doesn’t know what to do to stop them - many excuses made but the League did nothing to stop Japan
