The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The Treaty of Versailles affected Germany because the winning side of the war, put the entire blame on Germany. Land was taken away from Germany, and also all of their colonies. After all that, they even piled up a whole bunch of fines on Germany, but Germany didnt have any money to pay it because all of its colonies were taken away, and they couldnt produce and sell natural resources.

I think that this treaty was unfair because they put the whole blame on Germany. The cause of the war wasnt even because of Germany and the Allies put the whole blame on the Germans. I agree with what the Historians say because if they didnt put Germany in an economic breakdown, and looking for someone who can fix their struggling situation. So i agree with the Historains that the Treaty of Versailles was the cause of World War II.

Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal modernized Turkey by making laws about how there people dressed. He banned people from wearing the fez on their head. He also made it illegal on wearing the robes, the people now had to dress more European. They now had to wear regular shirts and pants.

Mustafa Kemal also made Turkey more Secular. Secular is of or relating to the doctrine that rejects religion and religious considerations. He did this by the separation of religion from educational, cultural and legal affairs. That was independence of thought and independence of dominance of religions.

The Kemalist principle of secularism did not go agaisnt atheism. It was not an anti-God principle. It was a rationalist, anti-clerical secularism. The Kemalist principle of secularism was not against an enlightened which Islam was opposed to modernization but against an Islam

Film Lesson - "Gandhi"

Gandhi helped his nation of India gain Independence by a non violent act of powerful speaking. Some of the things that he did was refuse to get off the train because he bought a 1st class ticket but they made him go to 3rd class and he refused so they concluded to kick him off the train. He also refused to buy British goods. He believed in what he did by even spinning his own clothes, and not buying any British clothes.

He used non violence by getting arrested and getting hit and assulted that way he got more followers. He also never fought back every time he got hit by British soldiors. When he threw away the Identification Cards, he was getting hit and he didnt fight back the only thing he did was continue burning them, he was a great man who believed and fought for what he wanted.

I think Indias independance didnt happen just because of Ghandi. I think if it kept on happening for more time then
