IB 30
We had a fairly lengthy discussion about current events today, in part because there have been some important developments around the world including parliamentary elections in Egypt, NATO strikes in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the Arab League and Syria, the eurozone and an article in today's Calgary Herald about standardized tests in Alberta. We also looked at the League of Nations mandate system today, I'll post the lecture on the wiki. You do have homework tonight:- Please complete the Source Analysis on page 30-31 in 20th Century World History (the source-based questions are on page 31)
- Also, complete the Discussion Point on p. 31, but do not do the OPVL part of the question. Simply find three different historian's perspective on the Treaty of Versailles. I'd recommend you look at A.J.P Taylor, David Thomson, Fritz Fischer, John Terrain, John Scherer, Douglas Newton or Margaret MacMillan for starters. (I just made your lives easier by giving you these names)
