Winston Churchill- Algonquin College
Winston Churchill was born in 1874 in the UK to a wealthy family and attended the Royal Military Academy. He saw action in several battles and worked as a war correspondent. He married in 1908 and helped modernize the British Navy during WWI, promoting military aircraft. During WWII, he famously vowed Britain would never surrender to Nazi Germany. He served as Prime Minister twice, leading Britain through the war, and won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Churchill remained active in politics until his death in 1965.
Britain and the war
Britain entered World War 2 in 1939 after Germany invaded Poland. While the British were able to evacuate over 338,000 troops from Dunkirk in 1940, they lost valuable equipment. Germany then invaded France and soon controlled much of Western Europe. The Battle of Britain in 1940 was a major turning point as the British Royal Air Force defeated the German Luftwaffe, preventing invasion. Fighting also occurred in North Africa between British and German forces. By late 1942, the tide began to turn as the Soviets defeated Germany at Stalingrad and the Allies invaded Italy. On D-Day in 1944, Allied forces invaded Normandy and advanced towards Germany. The war ended in 1945 after the Allies invaded Germany from both east and west and dropped
Timelines of british history
This timeline outlines major events in British history from the 20th to early 21st centuries, including World War I, the 1926 general strike, the Great Depression, the rise of British fascism in the 1930s, World War II, Indian independence and partition in 1947, the coronations of Queen Elizabeth II and marriages of Prince Charles and Diana and Prince William and Catherine, the 1998 Good Friday Agreement for Northern Ireland, 7/7 terrorist attacks in London in 2005, and the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
ww2
Hollie's presentation provides information about life in Britain during World War 2, including:
1) When war was announced on the radio, air raid sirens would sound to warn of approaching bombers, which must have been terrifying without modern technology like television.
2) "Blackouts" required covering all windows and switching off lights at night to make cities less visible to bombers, leaving people in the dark like a power outage.
3) Children were evacuated from cities to safer rural areas, often living with host families, to protect them from bombings.
4) London and other cities suffered heavy bombing raids known as the "Blitz" for many months, forcing people to shelter in underground
Ireland and world war two
During World War 2, Ireland declared neutrality to assert its sovereignty and independence following the partition of Ireland in 1921. Ireland pursued a policy of pro-Allied neutrality by secretly assisting Britain through weather reports and allowing escaped Allied prisoners while maintaining economic trade. This policy was popular among the Irish people who were spared the suffering of war but it created tensions with Britain and the United States who wanted Ireland to join the Allied effort more directly. The war had significant economic impacts on Ireland through rationing, unemployment, inflation, and difficulties obtaining imports.
Long term causes sessions 4 and 5 (2) (1)
The document summarizes several long-term causes of World War 1, including the alliance system between European powers which polarized them, the naval and arms races which increased tensions, and crises in Morocco and the Balkans over the preceding decades which exacerbated existing rivalries. The network of alliances tied countries together militarily, yet also heightened the risk that a conflict between two countries could engulf all major powers in Europe. Repeated crises failed to resolve tensions and instead reinforced the resolve of countries like Germany, Russia, and Serbia to confront opposing powers or allies.
King Edward the third of england
Edward III was King of England from 1327 to 1377. He began the Hundred Years' War with France by claiming the French throne. Despite challenges like the Black Death, Edward had many military successes in France and established laws in England to deal with labor shortages caused by the pandemic. He believed he had a rightful claim to the French throne as the grandson of Philip IV of France.
Ireland during wwii ppt
Ireland declared itself neutral during World War 2, a period it referred to as "The Emergency". Eamon De Valera was the Taoiseach at this time. Though neutral, Ireland still felt effects of the war through censorship of news, rationing of food like sugar and meat, and shortages of coal that limited transportation options and required alternative fuels like turf. The document discusses both the advantages and disadvantages Ireland faced in remaining neutral.

Ireland during WWII - in the 6 Hats style
During World War II, Ireland decided to remain neutral despite pressure from both sides. Ireland did not want to support the UK, which still controlled part of Ireland, or Nazi Germany. While Ireland remained publicly neutral, it also secretly provided weather reports and intelligence to help Allied forces. Some Irish citizens still volunteered to fight or work for the UK during the war. Ireland's neutrality allowed it to avoid direct involvement but also attracted some criticism for not more openly supporting the Allies.
Conquering europe
Napoleon realized his power came from military victories. He defeated the armies of Austria, Russia, and Prussia through surprise attacks and speed, gaining much territory in Europe. In 1807 his enemies signed the Treaty of Tilsit to end the conflict. The Treaty of Tilsit created an alliance between France and Russia, though this broke down when Russia allowed neutral shipping in 1810, leading Napoleon to invade Russia in 1812.
Ireland neutrality
The document summarizes Ireland's policy of neutrality during World War 2. It discusses how Ireland declared neutrality in 1939 to avoid taking sides in the conflict and angering either side. The policy emphasized Ireland's independence but also caused economic hardships as imports were cut off. The government established rationing and departments to increase self-sufficiency. There were also threats to neutrality from the IRA and German spies. Overall neutrality helped Ireland avoid direct involvement in the war but also led to international isolation and stagnation in the postwar years.
Canadian Battles in WWII
Canada supported the British colony of Hong Kong from 1941-1941 by loaning two inexperienced Canadian battalions to help defend against a potential Japanese invasion. The Canadians were quickly defeated by the more battle-ready Japanese forces on Christmas day 1941. Many Canadian soldiers became prisoners of war, with over 400 dying in Japanese camps. The failed Allied raid on Dieppe in 1942 provided valuable lessons for the D-Day invasion in 1944, such as the need for stronger forces and naval bombardment. During the Italian campaign from 1943-1944 Canadian forces fought in brutal urban battles and helped liberate Rome. On D-Day over 15,000 Canadians were involved in storming Juno Beach in Normandy, helping turn the tide of the war

Research and Planning Investigation
Research and planning is vital when developing media products. Research involves systematically investigating materials and sources to establish facts and reach conclusions, while planning prepares one to take action. When developing a horror film, initial research identifies common horror genre codes and conventions so the technical elements represent horror and appeal to the target audience. Data collection helps plan the film's features to fit the genre, look professional, and attract the intended viewers.
