The document summarizes several international incidents that troubled the growing United States in the early 1800s. The US found itself caught in the middle of the war between France and Britain, who issued decrees restricting trade. When the British attacked an American ship, the US wanted war but Jefferson imposed economic embargoes instead. As president, Madison faced unrest from an Indian confederation led by Tecumseh and his brother the Prophet, which General William Henry Harrison put down by burning their village of Prophetstown.

Lesson plan 3 final
Washington wanted the nation to remain neutral in foreign affairs for several reasons:
1) Europe was plunged into a series of wars following the French Revolution that lasted over 20 years, and the US was too weak militarily to get involved.
2) Maintaining neutrality was a difficult decision for Washington, as the US was allied with France, but supporting either side could draw the young nation into the ongoing conflicts.
3) In his Farewell Address, Washington advised future generations to avoid permanent alliances with foreign nations and remain free of foreign political entanglements so that the nation could focus on growing in strength without risking war.
Lesson plan 3
George Washington issued a Neutrality Proclamation in 1793 stating that the United States would remain neutral and not support either side in the war between France and Britain. This was a difficult decision for Washington as France was America's ally in the Revolutionary War, but supporting France could draw America into the ongoing European conflicts. Washington believed neutrality was the best policy to avoid war while the young nation grew in strength, as America was too weak militarily to contend with foreign powers at the time. His farewell address further advised future presidents to avoid longstanding alliances and entanglements in European affairs.

The War of 1812 was caused by tensions between the United States and Britain over maritime rights and the impressment of American sailors. Britain and France were engaged in the Napoleonic Wars and interfered with American merchant shipping. While President Madison attempted diplomacy, harassment of American shipping and the kidnapping of sailors led pro-war factions to push for a declaration of war in 1812. The war ended in stalemate by the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, but the Battle of New Orleans solidified American national pride after the war.

The American Revolutionary War was won through a combination of strategic military victories by American forces and support from European allies like France. Key battles like Trenton, Saratoga, and Yorktown weakened the British military position. Meanwhile, the Americans utilized local knowledge and guerilla tactics to offset the strengths of the British army. The entry of France into the war after the American victory at Saratoga turned the tide in favor of the colonists and ultimately led to British recognition of American independence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
Competition for America- American History
The document discusses the competition between France and Britain for control of the Ohio River Valley in the early 1700s, and the events that led to the French and Indian War. It describes Washington's failed attempt in 1754 to drive out the French, and Benjamin Franklin's Albany Plan to unite the colonies, which was rejected. The British eventually defeated the French in the French and Indian War, gaining control of North America, but went deep into debt, later seeking to tax the colonies to help pay it off.
James Madison and the War of 1812
James Madison was elected as the 4th US President in 1808 and 1812. The most important event of his presidency was the War of 1812 against Great Britain. The war was caused by ongoing attacks on American merchant ships by the British Navy and their supplying of weapons to Native American tribes. While Federalists opposed the war due to concerns over trade and the unprepared military, Republican war hawks supported it to end conflicts with Native Americans and the kidnapping of American sailors by the British. The war resulted in major battles on land and sea and ultimately ended in 1815 with the Treaty of Ghent.
The american revolution ap
The American Revolution between 1775-1783 saw the colonies struggle to win independence from Britain through war while also working to establish stable state and national governments. It involved both a military conflict with Great Britain and an internal political struggle. Key events included the Declaration of Independence in 1776, difficulties financing the war under the weak Articles of Confederation, pivotal American victories at Trenton, Princeton, Saratoga, and Yorktown, and eventual recognition of American independence in the 1783 Treaty of Paris after over seven years of war. The outcome was influenced by factors like America's use of guerilla tactics on its home turf against Britain's conventional army, the colonists' resolve to fight for freedom and self-govern
War of 1812
The War of 1812 was caused by British violations of American neutral shipping rights through practices like impressment and blockades of European trade. It resulted in battles between the US and Britain in Canada, at sea, and along the Atlantic coast. Though the Treaty of Ghent in 1814 ended hostilities without resolving issues, Andrew Jackson's victory at the Battle of New Orleans gave Americans a sense of victory. The war boosted American patriotism and led to agreements that established the US-Canada border and shared control of the Oregon Country.

1812 war
The War of 1812 began as a result of tensions between the United States and Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. The British imposed trade sanctions and attacked American ships, leading President Jefferson to enact the Embargo Act of 1807, which banned trade with Britain and hurt the American economy. This contributed to a change in leadership and the eventual declaration of war under President Madison in 1812. The war involved several American attempts to invade Canada by land and sea that were ultimately unsuccessful, as well as naval battles where the more powerful British fleet defeated American ships. The war ended in 1814 with the Treaty of Ghent, which resolved few of the original tensions and restored the pre-war borders between the US and Britain.

John Adam's presidency was defined by tensions with Great Britain and France during the Quasi-War. The British attacked American ships bound for Europe, while France grew angry over Jay's Treaty which favored British trade. Adams sent diplomats to France to negotiate, but the French demanded a bribe, fueling anti-French sentiment. Adams signed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts to deport dangerous aliens and suppress criticism of the government. This increased partisan conflicts between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans over states' rights and federal power.
Ap treaty of versailles
Wilson hoped to establish a new world order through his Fourteen Points and the creation of the League of Nations. However, other nations at the Treaty of Versailles imposed a harsh treaty on Germany for reparations. Wilson's stubbornness and refusal to compromise led the US Senate to reject the Treaty and the League of Nations. This rejection contributed to further tensions in Europe and a lack of enforcement of the treaty terms, which historians link to the start of World War II.
2008 The War Of 1812
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain. Tensions escalated due to British interference with American shipping and impressment of American sailors. While Federalists opposed the war, Democratic-Republicans voted to declare war in 1812 in hopes of resolving trade issues and expanding American territory. The war had no clear victor and ended in 1815 with the Treaty of Ghent, restoring pre-war boundaries.
Events to US Entry
Prior to entering World War I, the United States maintained an official policy of neutrality, though it had closer economic ties to the Allied forces. As the war continued, tensions rose due to attacks on U.S. merchant ships by German U-boats and the publication of the Zimmerman Telegram. Public opinion began to shift in favor of entering the war, and in April 1917 President Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war against Germany. U.S. involvement helped strengthen the Allies as Russia withdrew from the war, leaving the Western Front as Germany's sole battleground.
Causes of the american revolution
The colonists met at the First Continental Congress in 1774 to protest British taxes by writing a letter to the King of England. They said the taxes violated colonist rights and needed to be repealed to restore harmony. The period of Salutary Neglect, where Britain loosely governed the colonies, had ended. On April 19, 1775, the "Shot Heard Round the World" occurred as British troops marched to Concord to seize weapons. Colonists fought back at Lexington and Concord in what became known as the Battle of Lexington and Concord. The Second Continental Congress met in 1775 and decided the colonies should officially separate from Britain.

Goal 1 The War of 1812
The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Britain from 1812-1814. Tensions were rising between the two countries due to British trade restrictions and impressment of American sailors. While the US attempted to use economic embargoes to gain leverage, this hurt the American economy. The war resulted in some American victories like the Battle of New Orleans but the Treaty of Ghent ultimately resolved tensions without major territorial changes. The war boosted American nationalism and prestige but hurt the Federalist Party due to their opposition.
War of 1812
A 74 slide presentation about the War of 1812. Brief goes from the causes of the war from the end the American Revolution to Tippecanoe and ends with the Battle of New Orleans.
War Of 1812
The document summarizes some of the major events leading up to the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain. These included British harassment of US shipping and impressment of American sailors into the British navy. Economic tensions and failed diplomacy led President Madison and the pro-war War Hawks in Congress to declare war in 1812, despite opposition. The war resulted in some key battles but ultimately ended in a stalemate with the 1814 Treaty of Ghent.
War Of 1812
The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Britain for several reasons: Britain imposed trade restrictions and impressed American sailors into the Royal Navy, and supported American Indian tribes resisting American expansion. Key battles included the British burning of Washington D.C., American victories at Thames and Baltimore which turned the tide, and the decisive American victory at New Orleans after the Treaty of Ghent had already ended the war. The war promoted American nationalism but resolved none of the original disputes and no territory changed hands, though it ended Indian resistance in the South and West.
Causes of the War of 1812
The War of 1812 had several causes, including American expansion into Native American lands which Britain encouraged, tensions between the U.S., Britain, and France during the Napoleonic Wars that led to attacks on American merchant ships and impressment of U.S. sailors, and economic sanctions like the Embargo Act of 1807 that failed to stop the attacks but hurt the American economy. Frustrated by Britain's continued raids and impressment of sailors, President Madison officially led the U.S. into war against Britain in 1812 despite the British no longer wanting war with America.
American Revolution
- The Battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775 was one of the bloodiest battles of the American Revolution, though the British gained little ground in their victory over the heavily fortified American positions.
- In May 1775, the Second Continental Congress divided over whether to pursue full independence from Britain or seek reconciliation. They authorized George Washington to command the army surrounding Boston.
- Thomas Paine's pamphlet "Common Sense" was published in 1776 advocating for immediate American independence, which was then formally declared on July 4th of that year with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
Battle of yorktown
The Battle of Yorktown took place from September 28 to October 19, 1781 in Yorktown, Virginia. It resulted in a decisive victory by American forces led by General George Washington and French forces led by Comte de Rochambeau and Comte de Grasse over a British army commanded by Lord Charles Cornwallis. After over two weeks of bombardment, Cornwallis surrendered his entire army on October 19th, effectively ending major combat in the American Revolutionary War.
War of 1812
The War of 1812 was caused by several factors, including British and French seizure of American cargo and ships, the British practice of impressment which led to the Chesapeake Incident, and territorial disputes over lands in North America. The war resulted in unsuccessful American invasions of Canada but ended with the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. While the borders changed little, the war established frontier myths for America and began Andrew Jackson's rise to the presidency following his victory at the Battle of New Orleans.
French and indian war
The document provides background information on the French and Indian War (1754-1763), including:
- The key parties in the war were the French, British, and various Native American groups, who fought over land disputes in the Ohio River Valley.
- As a result of their victory, the British gained control of French territory in Canada and much of the North American mainland east of the Mississippi River under the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
- However, the war increased British debt and tensions with Native American tribes. It also united the American colonies in war but created resentment towards subsequent British policies like the Proclamation Line of 1763 restricting westward colonial expansion.
History
The document outlines the key events leading to United States independence, including the First Continental Congress in 1774 which approved stopping trade with England, the outbreak of the Revolutionary War in 1775, the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and the Treaty of Paris in 1783 that ended the war and officially recognized the new nation.
The War Of 1812
The War of 1812 was caused by American grievances against Britain related to impressment and attacks on American ships. Known as the War Hawks, a group in Congress pushed for war. They were opposed by Native American leader Tecumseh, who sought an alliance with Britain. Though the U.S. military was unprepared, battles were fought in Canada and at sea. In 1814, British forces burned Washington D.C., but American forces later won a key victory at the Battle of New Orleans under General Andrew Jackson after the war had ended. The war was concluded in 1815 with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent.
War of 1812 (1)
The War of 1812 began because Britain and France were attacking American ships and Britain was arming Native American tribes near Ohio. Though the US had few trained troops and untrained militia, and a small navy, it fought the more powerful British forces to a standstill over several years. Key events included failed invasions of Canada, naval victories by Oliver Perry and the USS Constitution, and the British burning of Washington DC. The war ended in 1815 with the Treaty of Ghent and American victory at the Battle of New Orleans, though territorial issues were unchanged.
The Battle of New Orleans
The Battle of New Orleans was fought on December 23, 1814 and January 8, 1815 near New Orleans, Louisiana between British troops commanded by General Edward Pakenham and American forces led by General Andrew Jackson. It was a major victory for the Americans that resulted in over 2,000 British casualties. Though the War of 1812 was officially over by then due to the Treaty of Ghent, the battle solidified American national identity and made Andrew Jackson a war hero and future US President.
1862
A private found Confederate battle plans wrapped in cigars at Antietam, leading to the bloodiest day in the Civil War with no clear victor. Lincoln used the stalled battle to announce the Emancipation Proclamation. Burnside later attacked entrenched Confederates at Fredericksburg and suffered heavy losses, causing Lincoln to replace him with General Hooker.
1861
The document summarizes key events and people from 1861 during the American Civil War. It discusses the border slave states that remained in the Union, the end of Lincoln's initial three month enlistment period and his desire to go on the offensive. It describes the First Battle of Bull Run where Confederate troops led by General Beauregard defeated the Union troops led by General McDowell, requiring their retreat. After the battle, Lincoln replaced McDowell with General McClellan and increased enlistment to three years. It also introduces Clara Barton, a famous nurse who earned the title "angel of the battlefield" and later became president of the American Red Cross.

The War Hawks were a group of 40 men who worked to get Henry Clay elected as Speaker of the House in order to push for war with Britain over trade issues. While the British eventually lifted trade restrictions, the US declared war shortly after. The US struggled in the early years of the War of 1812 due to a small army, lack of national bank, and poor communication. However, the US saw victories at sea and at the Battle of New Orleans, and the eventual Treaty of Ghent ended the war, giving the US newfound respect and nationalism while allowing its industry to develop.

Lincoln ordered total war against the South, leading Sherman to march from Atlanta to Savannah, burning everything in their path and causing $100 million in damage. Grant laid a lengthy siege of Petersburg, cutting off supplies to Richmond, and after nine months Jefferson Davis abandoned the Confederate capital. With no hope remaining, Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, accepting terms that allowed Confederate soldiers to keep their personal property and return home without reprisal. The Civil War cost over 670,000 Union and 480,000 Confederate casualties.

The Enlightenment was a period that emphasized using human reason and observation to understand truth, rather than religious doctrine. Philosophers like Descartes and Spinoza used rationalism to question religious beliefs, miracles, and the authority of the Bible. Empiricists like John Locke argued knowledge comes from experience rather than reason alone. This led to debates about secularism, religious toleration, and studying the Bible as a religious text rather than scripture that continue today.

APUSH Period 4 textbook
This document summarizes key events from 1800 to 1812, including Thomas Jefferson's election as president, the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the size of the US, and the start of the War of 1812. The election of 1800 was controversial but resulted in the first transfer of power between political parties in American history. Jefferson took a more moderate and pragmatic approach as president compared to his previous positions. Tensions with Britain and France over trade and impressment of American sailors led to calls for war, and the War of 1812 began in 1812, though it was divisive with little national support.
Political And Economic Causes
The document discusses the political and economic causes that led to the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain. It outlines that Britain stopped and searched American trade boats, impressing any sailors they believed to be British deserters. In response, Jefferson created the Embargo Acts to stop all trade with foreign nations like Britain and France. Later acts angered the Federalists by allowing trade with France but not Britain. While farmers wanted more land and to curb British arms supply to Native Americans, Federalists opposed the war as it would disrupt lucrative trade with Britain.
Articles of confederation
Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government had limited powers and could not tax, regulate trade, or enforce laws. This led to financial and domestic problems. The Constitutional Convention established a stronger federal government with three branches and a system of checks and balances. Key compromises included the bicameral legislature, electoral college for electing the president, and counting slaves as 3/5 of a person. The new Constitution established a stronger federal government but also led to the emergence of the first political parties.
Early us foreign policy
Early US foreign policy centered around neutrality during the French Revolution and wars between France and Britain. The US signed trade treaties like Jay's Treaty despite opposition. The XYZ Affair damaged relations with France and nearly caused war. Political divisions grew between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. The War of 1812 was declared against Britain due to trade issues but ended without major territory changes. The Monroe Doctrine established the US stance of non-interference in the Western Hemisphere.
The presidency of john adams
The XYZ Affair involved failed negotiations between the U.S. and France, where French diplomats demanded a bribe and loan before negotiating. This angered the American public against France. In response, President Adams avoided war but increased military spending. He also signed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts, allowing deportation of immigrants and imprisonment of government critics. Republicans like Jefferson and Madison opposed these laws as unconstitutional, laying the foundation for states' rights debates.
APUSH Lecture Ch. 7
The document provides an overview of several key events and developments during the Early Republic period under Presidents Jefferson and Madison, including:
1) Efforts to establish a distinct American culture and national identity separate from Britain, including the development of the education system and American literature.
2) The peaceful transition of power from the Federalist to Republican party in the 1800 election, establishing Jefferson as the third President.
3) Key policies and events of Jefferson's presidency, including the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the size of the US territory.
4) Continued westward expansion and the detrimental policies toward Native Americans that displaced many tribes from their lands.
War of 1812_causes
The document summarizes some of the major causes of the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain. Key events included Britain's impressment of American sailors and seizure of American ships, which angered Americans and contributed to a call for war by War Hawks led by Henry Clay. Britain's arming of Native Americans, including Tecumseh's Confederacy led by Tecumseh and The Prophet, also increased tensions by threatening American settlers on the frontier. The 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe between American forces and Tecumseh's Confederacy further escalated tensions leading up to the War of 1812 declaration.

Chapter 9 sec 2 notes
The document discusses American opinions on the French Revolution and Washington's desire for American neutrality in foreign affairs. [1] There were divided American views on the French Revolution, with some supporting the struggle for liberty but others opposing the violence, and Washington issued a proclamation of neutrality to avoid taking sides in the war between France and England. [2] Washington wanted to maintain neutrality as tensions rose between the allies France and England following the revolution, but it was difficult for America to remain neutral as European powers seized American ships. [3] In his farewell address, Washington advised staying out of European affairs.
Washington day two
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson had differing views on how the new nation should develop economically and politically. Hamilton favored a strong central government and policies to encourage manufacturing and urban development while Jefferson favored states' rights and an agrarian economy. President Washington found himself caught between the two factions as they debated the country's future course.

Revolutionary War 2020.ppt
The American Revolutionary War began as a result of tensions between the American colonies and Britain following the French and Indian War. Britain imposed taxes on the colonies to help pay war debts, angering colonists who believed in "no taxation without representation." Protests and boycotts of British goods escalated, leading to armed conflict at Lexington and Concord in 1775. The Second Continental Congress formed the Continental Army under George Washington. Although the British captured New York, Washington later won key victories at Trenton and Saratoga. France entered the war as an American ally in 1778 following these successes. The British surrendered at Yorktown in 1781, leading to American independence and the 1783 Treaty of Paris.

Alexander Hamilton established economic policies including a national bank and tariffs to encourage manufacturing, which led to the emergence of sectional differences between the North and South. This sparked the formation of the first political parties - the Federalists supported Hamilton's vision while the Democratic-Republicans opposed a strong federal government and championed states' rights. Tensions increased as America was drawn into international conflicts during the French Revolutionary Wars, leading to crises both foreign and domestic during Washington and Adams' administrations. The election of 1800 marked the first peaceful transfer of power between opposing political parties as Jefferson defeated Adams in a close election.

Representatives from all colonies except Georgia met at the First Continental Congress to object to recent acts of Parliament while still declaring loyalty to the king. They agreed not to import or export goods to Britain and decided to meet again if their concerns went unaddressed. On the night of April 18, 1775, British troops left to destroy arms stockpiled in Concord but were warned by Paul Revere and others, resulting in the first shots of the Revolutionary War being fired at Lexington where 8 colonists died, beginning the war in earnest.
Summer school history - american history
This document provides an overview of three units covered in a summer school history class: Colonial America, the American Revolution, and the Constitution and early Federal Government. Key points include the origins and societies of Native Americans, European colonization of North America by Spain, France, and England, conflicts between the British and colonists leading to the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and the drafting of the Constitution in 1787 which established a strong federal government and Bill of Rights.
The revolution begins
The tensions between the colonies and Great Britain led to armed conflict in 1775. The First Continental Congress demanded rights from Britain. Armed conflict broke out at Lexington and Concord with the "shot heard 'round the world." The Second Continental Congress created the Continental Army to fight the British and named George Washington as Commander. Many colonists supported independence after Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" was published.

The US became involved in Vietnam to prevent South Vietnam from falling to communism, fearing this could lead other Southeast Asian countries to also fall (domino theory). While initially sending advisors, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution allowed greater US action after alleged attacks on US destroyers. However, the US struggled against an elusive Viet Cong enemy hidden in jungles, without clear targets. Growing anti-war sentiment at home was exacerbated by the surprising Tet Offensive, though the US began gradually transferring responsibility to South Vietnam through Vietnamization while still providing support.

Following WWII, Europe and Asia underwent significant changes - Germany and Berlin were divided between the Western allies and Soviet Union, while the US took sole responsibility for rebuilding Japan and establishing a new democratic constitution under General Douglas MacArthur. Meanwhile, the Cold War emerged between the capitalist West led by the US and the communist Eastern Bloc led by the Soviet Union, which exerted control over countries behind the Iron Curtain and cut off access to West Berlin until the US launched a massive airlift of supplies; this instability continued with the outbreak of the Korean War as North Korea invaded South Korea across the 38th Parallel boundary.

The Philippines were an important US base until the Japanese forced the surrender of US forces in April 1942. This led to the infamous Bataan Death March where thousands of Filipino and US prisoners of war died. In the Pacific Theater, the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway turned the tide in favor of the US by stopping Japanese naval advances. The US also fought major battles to take Iwo Jima and Okinawa to reach the Japanese mainland. Meanwhile, the Manhattan Project developed the atomic bomb which the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 after Japan refused to surrender, leading to their surrender and the end of the war.

The US entered World War 2 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Over 16 million Americans joined the military and women joined the workforce, taking on jobs previously held by men. Japanese Americans on the west coast were forced into internment camps during the war. In the European theater, the US prioritized defeating Hitler. Key operations included invading North Africa and Sicily, establishing a beachhead in Normandy on D-Day, and defeating the final German offensive at the Battle of the Bulge. Germany surrendered on V-E Day in May 1945.

Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles and annexed Austria and the Sudetenland without resistance. At the Munich Agreement, Britain appeased Hitler by allowing the annexation of Czechoslovakia, but Hitler soon invaded Poland, starting World War 2. Germany had early success using its new Blitzkrieg tactics to quickly defeat Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France. Though the British rescued troops from Dunkirk, Britain stood alone against Germany until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, opening a second front.

Benito Mussolini seized power in Italy in the 1920s and established a fascist government, creating the "black shirts" militia to enforce his rule. He invaded Ethiopia in Africa and Japan attacked Manchuria in China, and both faced ineffective responses from the League of Nations. In Germany, Adolf Hitler rose to power as the Nazi party leader and chancellor, preaching against the unfair Treaty of Versailles and beginning to remilitarize the country by sending troops to the Rhineland. The authoritarian leaders of Italy, Germany and Japan would later form the Axis alliance.

The 1936 US presidential election saw Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt defeat Republican Alf Landon. Roosevelt proposed a controversial "Court Packing Plan" to add more justices to the Supreme Court if they did not retire after age 70, but Congress defeated the bill. The New Deal programs increased US debt and emphasized government aid, shifting the US to a modern welfare state. Roosevelt also took the US off the gold standard, giving the government more control over the money supply.

Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in the 1932 presidential election amidst the Great Depression. As president, FDR established numerous programs through his New Deal initiative to provide relief, reform the economy, and regulate finance in response to the economic crisis. These programs included the establishment of the Civilian Conservation Corps to create jobs for young unemployed men, the Tennessee Valley Authority to build infrastructure projects like dams and provide electricity, and the Social Security Act to offer assistance to the elderly.

Stocks crashed on October 24, 1929 in heavy selling known as Black Thursday, with prices plunging and over $4 billion in paper losses. Billions more were lost two days later on Black Tuesday, wiping out many investors. The massive sell-off marked the beginning of the Great Depression, with plummeting demand causing industrial output and employment to drop sharply. Unemployment rose to one in four as banks failed and shantytowns emerged.

Germany attacked France and cornered Allied forces at Dunkirk, but bad weather allowed the British navy to rescue troops across the English Channel. Germany then bombed Britain for over 3 months but failed to break the Royal Air Force. Hitler invaded the Soviet Union to seize its resources but faced scorched earth tactics, and later turned his attention to the Pacific by attacking islands like the Philippines. Several key events turned the tide of war, including Germany fighting on two fronts after invading the USSR, the US entering the war after Japan's attack, Italy surrendering following the Allied invasion of Sicily, and the Allied D-Day invasion of France leading ultimately to Germany's defeat on V-E Day in 1945, after which the US dropped atomic

The key causes of WWII were the rise of dictators like Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy, and Hirohito in Japan. Germany's economy was ruined after harsh treatment following WWI, including huge reparation payments. Countries were increasingly aggressive in expanding their borders, which the weak League of Nations struggled to address. Germany openly disregarded the Treaty of Versailles and remilitarized the Rhineland, while Britain pursued appeasement. Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 and Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 drew the major Allied powers into the war.
Ch 17 sec 5
The Great Depression was caused by the financial devastation of World War I, with the US loaning money to allies who did not repay, the failure of the Federal Reserve to control interest rates, and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act raising prices of foreign goods and reducing US exports. This led to about 1/3 of the workforce becoming unemployed even as Hoover and later FDR created numerous government programs to stimulate the economy and help the unemployed in the face of the crisis.

After World War 1, several dictators rose to power in Russia, Germany, and Italy. In Russia, Vladimir Lenin led the Bolsheviks and became dictator after the execution of Czar Nicholas II. In Germany, Adolf Hitler led the Nazi party and declared himself dictator after gaining power. In Italy, Benito Mussolini led the Fascist party and was appointed leader after marching on Rome. These dictators consolidated their control and rebuilt their militaries, undermining the peace efforts of the League of Nations and other post-WW1 agreements.

WWI began in 1914 when Germany invaded Belgium to launch an attack on France as part of the Schlieffen Plan. This brought Britain into the war against Germany and Austria-Hungary. The war quickly resulted in trench warfare and a stalemate as both sides suffered massive casualties without significant gains. New weapons like tanks, planes, submarines, and poison gas were introduced but failed to break the stalemate. The US joined the Allies in 1917, and Germany surrendered in 1918 after the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk separated Russia from the war and its resources were exhausted. The Treaty of Versailles ended WWI and imposed punitive terms on Germany. In total, over 20 million people died in the war making it

World War I was caused by militarism, imperialism, and a system of rival alliances between European powers. Countries had built up large militaries and still sought to expand their territories abroad. A network of agreements bound countries to allies, including the Triple Entente of Britain, France and Russia and the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand sparked the war after tensions had risen between these alliance blocs for years.
