REMEMBER TO POST TO TURN IT IN!
Please read the packet distributed to you in class. I am providing you with six questions AND four source-based questions that can be found on the last page of your packet. Do not pay attention to the "marks" at the back of the package at this time - it is an IB scoring system for internal assessments.
- How did diplomacy work in the era of self-interest?
- How were the United Kingdom and France exposed as military weak?
- How were strong pacifist movements in Western countries make it difficult to develop enthusiasm for collective security beyond an intellectual interest?
- Why were Germany and Japan encouraged to continue their campaigns and expand their territory?
- Why did Mussolini ally with Hitler?
- Why was a strategic problem created for the British in the Mediterranean?
Source-based questions
- According to Source D, what were the issues before the League of Nations Assembly? What message is conveyed by Source E?
- Compare and contrast the views expressed in Sources A and B about the relations of their countries with the League of Nations.
- With reference to their origin and purpose, assess the value and limitations of Sources C and D for historians studying the treatment of the Abyssinian crisis by the League of Nations.
- Using the sources and your own knowledge analyse the statement made in Source C that the Abyssinian crisis was a task imposed upon the League of Nations "that it was impossible to fulfill."
