LEAGUE OF NATIONS: THE MANCHURIAN CRISIS
LEAGUE OF NATIONS: THE MANCHURIAN CRISIS.
The Manchurian Crisis 1931-1933 followed the Mukden Incident in which Japanese rail tracks were destroyed in an explosion. The issue was investigated by the League of Nations which found Japan to be at fault. The Japanese ignored the League of Nations and left the organisation.
World war ii
The document provides a detailed overview of the key events of World War II from 1939-1945. It describes how the political and economic instability in Germany following WWI led to the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. It then outlines Germany's aggression across Europe in the late 1930s that precipitated the start of WWII. The document discusses the major military campaigns and battles across Europe and in the Pacific theater between the Allied and Axis powers. It also describes the implementation of the Holocaust by Nazi Germany and its allies that resulted in the genocide of approximately 6 million European Jews.
Operation Barbarossa Overview (PPT)
Operation Barbarossa was the largest military invasion in human history, launched by Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941. Over 3 million German troops invaded in an attempt to defeat the Red Army and annex Soviet territories for Lebensraum. The operation involved over 15 million soldiers and resulted in over 6 million casualties within 5 months. Though early victories allowed Germany to capture vast territories, Hitler's failure to prepare for winter and underestimation of Soviet strength led to Germany's defeat at the Battle of Moscow, marking the failure of Operation Barbarossa.
CAMBRIDGE IGCSE/AS HISTORY: THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS 1919-1939
The document discusses the history of the League of Nations from 1919 to 1939. It was created after World War 1 to promote international cooperation and prevent future wars. However, the League faced challenges like the US refusing to join and some nations prioritizing their own interests over the League. While the League had some successes in resolving border disputes in the 1920s, it ultimately failed to stop aggression in the 1930s as tensions rose in Europe.
REVISION IGCSE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY: YOUNG PLAN
The Young Plan, named after American financier Owen Young, recommended reducing Germany's reparations bill by three-quarters, spreading payments out until 1988, and allowing Germany to postpone payments during economic hardship. However, the plan ultimately failed to be implemented because its creator Gustave Stresemann died soon after its publication, and when the Nazis came to power Hitler stopped all reparations payments.
Possible Paper I Sources Updated 2009
The document contains several sources and questions about cartoons depicting perceptions of and reactions to the Treaty of Versailles in Germany. Source A cartoons from 1919 and 1921 portray Germany as being unfairly punished by the treaty through guillotine or high reparations payments. The questions ask about what the cartoonists suggest about the treaty and reasons for German resentment of its terms, such as reparations, loss of territory, and restrictions placed on the country.
Cold War U.S. History 1945-Present
The document provides background on the origins and early history of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945-1960. It discusses the emergence of the two superpowers after World War 2 and the ideological differences that fueled tensions. Key events that escalated the conflict included the Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, the communist revolution in China, and Soviet spying in the US. The arms race and use of covert operations by the CIA to undermine governments unfriendly to the US also increased Cold War hostilities.

World War I
The document provides background information on the causes of World War I, including nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and the system of alliances between European powers. It describes how nationalist sentiments led countries to build up their militaries in an arms race. Competing colonial interests exacerbated tensions. By 1914, Germany and Austria-Hungary were allied against Russia, France, and Britain in a complex network that caused the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand to trigger a chain reaction leading those countries to declare war on each other.
The schlieffen plan
The Schlieffen Plan was Germany's strategy for fighting a war on one front by quickly defeating France before Russia could fully mobilize. The plan involved invading Belgium to outflank French defenses on the shared border, but this violation of Belgian neutrality drew Britain into the war on the side of the Allies against Germany and Austria-Hungary.
The schlieffen plan
The Schlieffen Plan was Germany's strategy for fighting a war on two fronts by quickly defeating France first before sending troops to fight Russia in the east. Germany invaded Belgium as part of the plan to outflank French defenses, but this caused Britain to declare war on Germany due to Belgium's neutrality, drawing more nations into the growing conflict of World War I.
02. GERMANY - DEPTH STUDY: THE IMPACT OF THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES
01. GERMANY - DEPTH STUDY: THE IMPACT OF THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES. Germany lost 10% of its land, all its overseas colonies, 12.5% of its population, 16% of its coal and 48% of its iron industry. There were also the humiliating terms, which made Germany accept blame for the war, limit their armed forces and pay reparations.
European Theater (WWII)
The document summarizes key events in the European theater of World War 2. It describes the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930s under Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in Italy. It then outlines Germany's aggression and violations of treaties, the failed appeasement policy of Britain and France, and Germany's invasion of Poland which started WWII. The summary also briefly discusses the early war period including the Phony War and Germany's swift conquest of Western European nations. It notes major battles like Stalingrad which marked a turning point against Germany on the Eastern Front. Finally, it outlines the Allied invasions of German-occupied territories through operations like D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, culminating in Germany

Irish Civil War
The Irish Civil War began as divisions grew between those who supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty (Pro-Treaty) and those opposed to it (Anti-Treaty). Fighting broke out in Dublin as Anti-Treaty forces occupied buildings and the Pro-Treaty forces, led by Michael Collins, attacked in response. The Anti-Treaty forces retreated south but were defeated as the Pro-Treaty army cut off supply lines by sea and land. Key leaders on both sides, including Collins and Arthur Griffith, were killed as the bitter fighting continued for over a year until the Anti-Treaty forces surrendered in 1923 after losing their leader Liam Lynch. The Civil War caused deep divisions in
The cold war
The Cold War was a period of diplomatic and political tension between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945-1991. Key events included the spread of communism in countries like China and Cuba, the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan which aimed to contain communism, and conflicts like the Korean War and Vietnam War where the two superpowers supported opposing sides. The arms race led to massive military buildups and a space race, raising fears of nuclear war. Ultimately, economic and political pressures contributed to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, marking a U.S. victory in the Cold War.
The aftermath of first world war
The 1st World War had devastating consequences for Europe. Over 10 million soldiers died and 20 million were wounded. The Treaty of Versailles established harsh terms for Germany, including war guilt, loss of territory, military limitations, and heavy reparations. This caused outrage in Germany and contributed to economic and political instability. Overall, the peace settlements redrew the maps of Europe but failed to achieve a lasting peace, as many were unhappy with the outcomes.
Sec 4 chapter 4.1 the end of cold war
The document discusses the end of the Cold War. It states that the collapse of the Soviet Union was not due to military force by NATO, as no tanks fired or bombs fell. Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in the 1980s allowed criticism of the Soviet government and led to reforms of the communist system. This loss of confidence in communist rule, along with economic stagnation, contributed to the peaceful dissolution of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War without direct military confrontation.
The Atomic Bomb (WWII)
The Manhattan Project began in 1939 and ultimately involved over 600,000 people including famous scientists like Einstein, Fermi, and Oppenheimer to develop the first atomic bombs. The Trinity Test in New Mexico in July 1945 was a success. At the Potsdam Conference, Truman was informed of this and warned Japan to surrender, but they did not. He ultimately decided to use the newly developed atomic bombs to end the war, dropping Little Boy on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Fat Man on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, together killing over 200,000 people. Japan surrendered on August 14, 1945, ending World War II.
WWII in Europe: The Policy of Appeasement
Ms Diyana guided us through the policy of appeasement, explaining why - and how - Britain and France gave in so easily to Hitler's demands. Instead of deterring him, this only made him bolder and resulted in the eventual outbreak of WWII.
World War 2
World War II was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved most nations of the world forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The war began with Germany's invasion of Poland and ended with the surrender of Nazi Germany and Japan after the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Over 70 million people were killed during the war, making it the deadliest conflict in human history. Key turning points included Germany's defeat on the Eastern Front by the Soviet Union and the Allied invasion of Normandy leading to the collapse of the Axis powers.
Events of World War II
The document summarizes the key events and leaders of World War 2. It describes how Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, invaded countries in Europe and North Africa in the late 1930s and early 1940s. By 1942, Germany and its allies dominated most of Europe. The document also discusses the Holocaust, major battles like Stalingrad, D-Day, and the US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that led to Japan's surrender in 1945, ending World War 2. The postwar effects included Germany being divided between communist East Germany and democratic West Germany, and the start of the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union.
Japan Builds an Empire
Japan began building its military in the 1850s after opening trade with the US. It gained territory after fighting with allies in WWI. Growing nationalism and economic struggles led the military to gain influence in the 1930s. The Japanese army seized Manchuria from China in 1931 in an event known as the "Manchurian Incident" and established Manchukuo as a puppet state under its control. Japan then invaded more of China in 1937, committing atrocities like the Rape of Nanjing. Seeking resources, Japan declared the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and began expanding its empire across Asia.
Origins Of The Cold War
The document summarizes key events at the origins of the Cold War, including rising tensions between the U.S. and Soviet Union after WWII; Stalin extending his power by installing communist governments across Eastern Europe, known as the Iron Curtain; the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan aiming to stop communism's spread; the Berlin Airlift resupplying West Berlin after the Soviet blockade; and the formation of NATO as a military alliance between Western nations.

The Recovery Years - Gustav Stresemann Part 2
The document discusses the work of Gustav Stresemann and the recovery of Germany under his leadership after 1923. It provides information on several economic plans and international agreements Stresemann implemented that helped stabilize Germany, such as the Dawes Plan in 1924 and the Locarno Treaties in 1925. However, it also notes ongoing economic and political problems, including high unemployment, the rise of the Nazis and Communists, and some opposition to Stresemann's foreign policies. The document examines achievements and challenges during Stresemann's chancellorship and aims to evaluate how fully the Weimar Republic recovered during this time period.
Course of World War II
World War II began with Germany conquering much of Europe by 1940. In 1941, the war became global as Germany invaded the Soviet Union and the United States entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Though formidable, Nazi Germany was eventually defeated in 1945. The war in Asia continued until the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Japan to surrender and end World War II. The United States also took on a new non-isolationist role and helped rebuild Western Europe economically in the postwar period.
Course of WWII 19-2A
1) Hitler invaded Poland on September 1st, 1939 using blitzkrieg warfare of planes and tanks to quickly take control of Poland in just 4 weeks. Germany then divided Poland with the Soviet Union.

Beginning Of Cold War
The Cold War was an ideological struggle between Soviet and Eastern Bloc nations led by the goal of spreading communism, and the US and Western democracies pursuing a policy of containment to prevent the spread of communism and cause the eventual collapse of the communist world. The two sides engaged in espionage, an arms race, ideological competition for third world countries, and the bipolarization of Europe between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
Causes of the Cold War
The document summarizes the origins and key events of the Cold War between the USA and USSR from 1945-1949. It provides context on the ideological differences between capitalism and communism. It also outlines four perspectives from historians on what caused the rivalry, including disagreement over whether the USA or USSR was primarily responsible.

WWII
Hitler believed Germany needed more land to build a great civilization. He began remilitarizing the Rhineland in 1936 in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, which was meant to keep Germany demilitarized after WWI. Seeing no response, Hitler grew bolder and annexed Austria in 1938. At the Munich Conference, Britain and France appeased Hitler by allowing Germany to annex the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Within six months, Hitler took the rest of Czechoslovakia despite promises to stop invading countries. Japan also grew bolder after facing no consequences for invading Manchuria in 1931 and moving into northern China. These acts by Germany and Japan weakened international order and set the stage for the start of WWII.

Futile Search
After WWI, there was an uneasy peace in Europe as border disputes arose among new nations and the League of Nations proved ineffective without US support. Germany struggled to pay war reparations to France, leading France to occupy the Ruhr Valley in Germany, causing hyperinflation and economic crisis. The Dawes Plan helped stabilize Germany's economy and its relations with France in the mid-1920s. However, the Great Depression starting with the US stock market crash of 1929 brought European prosperity to an end, with high unemployment across nations. John Maynard Keynes and Franklin Roosevelt introduced economic theories and programs like the New Deal to stimulate demand and put people back to work to solve the crisis.
