Turn in Europe Demographics Sheet (Turn in whatever is complete!) Clear desk other than Nationalism Notes Current event card due Friday (must be over Europe, look back at syllabus for requirements!)

2 Nationalism, WWII, and the Berlin Wall

3 After WWI… Germany took the blame for the war Germany lost land
Germany had to pay Great Britain and France Germany could not have an army Germany was broke

4 So…. How would that make you feel?

5 Hitler Hitler and the Nazi Party took advantage of these negative feelings Promised to get land back Promised change – fix Germany’s problems Used nationalism to get people behind him Germany is the best country and more important

6 Hitler’s Speeches - Hitler used charisma, personality, and propaganda to convince people Propaganda is used to influence someone to choose a particular side We are going to watch a speech from Hitler in the space provided on your notes page. Write down what you observe or notice about the speech.

7 Then what happens… World War II Holocaust
Eventually Germany loses the war after much of Europe is destroyed Germany is divided up between the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union

8 So what’s the problem… It became the Soviet Union vs. “the west”
West = western Europe and the US It was capitalism/democracy vs. communism Communism = form of command economy where the government is in complete control Germany and Berlin became caught in the middle

9 Berlin Wall

10 Cold War (1947 – 1991) Continued military and political tension between capitalistic and communistic countries Space Race Arms Race The two economic/political systems could not get along Both sides believed the other to be inherently evil

11 Berlin Wall – a symbol The Berlin Wall was a symbol of the separation and a physical barrier of the of the two economic systems. Built to keep East Berliners from moving to West Berlin So… the economies of the two sides must have been different?

12 How were they different?
West Berlin East Berlin Capitalism Growth in economy Democratic – more freedoms Communist Decline in economy Totalitarianism – less freedoms
