April Fools!!
Today we discussed handouts #6 through handout #9. Handout #6 should go as follows:
Treaty of Versailles:
--Winner's peace - Germany treated harshly (had to do what the winners said)
--Treaty not ratified in the U.S.
--League of Nations without the U.S.
Economic effects:
--Post WWI the U.S. experienced rapid inflation
--Wages did not rise with the price of goods
--Many workers conducted strikes because they felt businesses were making more money because of higher prices and they were not seeing any benefits
Racial effects:
--Great Migration - many African-Americans moved to the North during WWI because factory jobs there were open because workers had left to fight the war. This led to many racial conflicts in the North and race riots.
--Red Scare - many Americans were afraid that communism would take root in the U.S. Many suspected communists were deported.
--Anti-immigration - going hand in hand with the Red Scare. The U.S. established quotas that limited immigration into America.
A handout #7 review is on the previous post.
The answers to the questions on handout #9 can be found in the reading #8.
When we finished covering this WWI information - we took a quiz**
