Hey #Davis7, here is an updated Day 3 Lesson!

Let's watch these two videos that "summarize" World War I...Thoughts?

The One Thing You Should Know About World War I


The Legacy of World War I

Now, let's read Pages 4-5 on the World Wars Doc


Treaty of Versailles, 1919 -- You are receiving a handout before watching this short flick...

Now that you've watched the short flick, read the Summary of the Fourteen Points...  
Now, choose THREE of the Q’s below and answer them on a separate sheet.  You have the rest of class to do this and if you finish early, turn your answers in...If you do not finish these Q's, you will turn them in on Monday for a HW grade!


  1. Should the nations that lost be punished? If so, how? What should be done with them?
  2. How do we physically reconstruct the land after such destruction?
  3. Who should be in charge of rebuilding towns, railroads, bridges, buildings, houses of worship?
  4. How do these soldiers go back to “civilian life” after such a war?
  5. Who should draw the new borders of Europe and how should they draw borders on the land that ensure these “nations” are happy?
  6. How do the economies of Europe, Africa, and Asia recover from the destruction?
  7. How can we ensure that something like this never happens again?
  8. After reading the Fourteen Points above, do you think it is fair that Woodrow Wilson proclaimed these Fourteen Points and asked Europe to follow/enforce them?  Why/why not?
