We will spend today playing with the information we've been learning over the last few days. The League of Nations is a tricky little bugger. We need to spend more time understanding the GOALS, the STRUCTURE, the MEMBERS, and the SUCCESSES AND FAILURES of the League in the 1920s. This will help us understand how the Leagues action (or inaction) lead into the rise of Hitler and World War Two.
DO NOW
Analyze this cartoon for audience, message, and purpose.
Next we will go over the homework from yesterday. You will work in your groups to check your answers at stations around the classroom. When you're done, you will explain why your answers were different from mine (if they were).
We will also look at the four main objectives (goals) of the League of Nations. In pairs you will look at examples of the work the League did in the 1920s and match them to one of the League's goals.
For example, the issue with the Aaland Islands in 1921 was an example of how the League accomplished its goal of discouraging aggression between nations. As our text says, "Both Sweden and Finland wanted control of the Aaland islands, which were midway between the two countries. Both countries were threatening to fight for them. They appealed to the League. After studying the matter closely, the League said the islands should go to Finland. Sweden accepted the League's ruling and war was avoided."
Please turn to page 238. We will star the Focus Task in the lower right corner together.
