1.12.10 - Europe's Wars: World War I & World War II

"The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because is usually goes around wearing overalls and looking like hard work."
-Thomas Edison

Today we're going to focus on World War I and World War II. I'd like you get a better understanding of who was fighting and why they were fighting.

1. There are two activities for today. First, I'd like you and your partner to read about World War I and World War II.

-Read pages 333-338 and answer these questions.
-Pay attention to the pictures and sidebars, some of the answers may be in those sections.


2. The second part of the activity is to see the geographic changes that each of the wars had on Europe.

-You'll need to open up the Europe Before and After World War I and World War II Map and the questions that correspond with the map.
-Then answer the questions in complete sentences.
-If you do not finish during class this will be your homework.
