This image is one that relates to the grate depression and shows the struggle of the time.

I thought that this Political Cartoon would be a good idae to put on the InNo becuse it relates to my notes but also relates to topic we discussed in class.

I created these graphs to show the increase of the military and the airforce that was built up by germany when they were not suppose to have these due to the treaty of Versailles.

Q. What damaged league of nations reputation? Why were Britain and itally so threatening? What was the general job of the league of nations and how did that go? Why didn’t the league want to put sanctions on Japan? What did Hitlers group believe about WW1?

Summary The league of nations was put in place to keep peace but it became hard when the great depression began. This further influence countries to invade others such as Japan invading Manchuria. While this was happening, Hitler and followers didn’t believe Germany had lost and began to re-arm their army which continued to grow.
