Friday's Double Test 26/27

Mussolini Questions:  18 Questions
Hitler Questions:  21 Questions
Stalin Questions 17 Questions
Other 2 Chapters:  11 Questions

 . . . and 4 art questions from Thursday

A lot from the Terms and Class.  Not a lot of offical Homework Questions, but a lot are similar.

Know the policies toward women for each of the dictators.  

Hints from kids who took it early: 
    Study the Terms.  Very little DIRECT Homework questions.    
    Review Chapters 1 and 2.
    If you haven't read the Homework, you may want to just "eat" that minor HW grade and
            spend your time STUDYING and just read the Review Book.
    

This makes me sad

Nazi sympathizers in Southern California 1933-45

The Facial Expressions alone are worth it

I'm a fan of 2:44, 3:04, and 4:45

Well, just who IS a fascist in today's world?

"ANYONE!" 

At least, according to my favorite socialist:  George Orwell
< Author of Animal Farm (a metaphor for the Russian Revolution)

 

There's a lot of use of the word "fascist" on emails and the internet.
Be careful of Lists like this one floating around.
It seems similar to what we discuss in class;  HOWEVER, it is intentionally worded in such a way to make you think: "all people on the right are Fascists" (notice the anachronistic use of "national security")
Teh interwebs has lots of junk on it.  Just be careful.

Stalin Voted 3rd Most Popular Russian . . . Ever ?!?!

 Why is Stalin Still Popular??

Stalin's Image Softening  

 "It's said that the Terror was, of course, an unfortunate incident, but the most important thing was that Stalin created a great country. He inherited a country with the plough and bequeathed it the atomic bomb.”

Stalin Voted 3rd Most Popular Russian in 2008!

Russian Youth Poll: Stalin Good, Migrants must go.

The last British survivor of WWI trenches died in 2007

Last Survivor of Passchendaele, last British survivor of trench warfare

"I never got over it"

Two great books on The Great War

Paul Fussell's THE GREAT WAR and MODERN MEMORY This award winning book doesn't give a detailed story of the events in WWI, but instead provides an incredible picture of the effects the war had on the modern world. It's a perfect AP European History book.
#75 on the Modern Library Top 100 NonFiction Books
GREAT INTERVIEW with him
Modris Eksteins' Rites of Spring is also good. (but read Fussell if you only read one of them)
