Talked about the "Path of Appeasement" cartoon first today. This one will be an important one for you to remember for the future. In this cartoon, Uncle Sam is lying face down in the snow ignoring the snowstorm of Nazism. Sam is being an isolationist and if he does not do something quick he will be buried by the snowstorm. This is the path of appeasement according to the cartoonist.
Next we looked at Pearl Harbor. You should read pages 728-730 in your text book and use handout #22 to record some quick facts about this event. You should pay close attention to why the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a series of political and tactical decisions that culminated in Japan's fateful decision to attack the U.S. Pacific Navy stationed at Pearl Harbor.
We also worked on role plays and finished up this work. Some role plays were presented and any other role plays must be presented on Monday.
