The Treaty of Versailles ( ended WWI )

Explain how the Treaty of Versailles affected Germany at the end of WW I. Some historians say that the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Fascism and Adolph Hitler. Why do you think historians say this?

After WWI Germany had lost not even the battle but also they had to give back all their imperial possesions out of Germany. This change make Germany lose all the power that they used to have.
About this subject some historians said that the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Fascism and Adolph because they imposed hardship on Germany, they did not let Germany took over their territories or lands and after this problem people though they were not solutions, but them Hitler had an esay solution to all the problems, therefore this made Hitler more popular around, so Hitler became a dictator, a leader with complete control.

Mustafa Kemal ( Ataturk) & the modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal modernized and made Turkey more secular when he did things that not regarded as religious or spiritual, because He wanted to change Tukey's way of life style into a new "nationality". Mustafa made people dressed up not like they were used to according to their culture, However they had to dressed up like Europeans and Americans instead.
For example he wanted them to wear regular hats instead of fez, or even wear with the regular North America style.
Mustafa created a new system of modernized turkish writing... Obviously people didn't like these new system, however they had to learn it somehow.

Film Lesson: "Gandhi"

Gandhi is a rebel man, that gave his all entire life to make one union nation meaning; that he wanted to religions be together ( muslims, and hindus) without the brittish that used make their lives miserable because they used control India. Gandhi was an incredible man, he tried to make India a free land by making boycotts, also he told people to make their own clothing instead of buying to the "enemy".
Another thing he did was a salt march. The salt and other goods were in a very high prize, so Gandhi and his people revolted for it, and decided to use salt from the ocean.
The brittish wanted to sell goods to the Indias that were produced in India!

Gandhi was against violence, he wanted to do all the marches and boycotts, but without making hurt anyone, although at the end the brittish soldiers arrested them.
Gandhi was an example of the justice.. he and also Martin Luther tried to bring justice for all and that's is something to admire.
