A New Germany

They're were 3 main reasons that cause WW2 to happen: The Great Depression, The Treaty of Versailles, and appeasement. The appeasement was when Hitler started taking land and was promising peace. Second was the Great Depression which all counties suffered with no food or shelter. The Treaty of Versailles was unfair to Germany because they have to pay for all the damage that cause WW2.
Hitler rose to power when he was promise German people food, water, and jobs. Another reason was when Von Hindenburg died he gave all his power to Hitler to rule Germany.
Some actions that the nazis did when they got power was get a big military and take over land. While the nazis were taking over land the other counties didn't care cause they didn't want to be involve.

After World War 1

Some positive results of WW1 saw that they came up with new inventions, creativity, and new ideas. The negatives after WWI was that many people died, people changed the way they think, and people began questioning traditional beliefs.
Writers and philosopher's were affected by WWI. Philosophers and writers question every idea about reason and progress. T.S Elliot, is an American poet that lived in England and wrote about society  had lost its spirit.
Another thing that was affect by WW1 was art and artist. Artist wanted to depict the inner world of emotion and imagination rather than show realistic representation, of objects. Surrealism, an art movement that sought to link the world of dream with real life, was inspired by Freud ideas. The term surreal means "beyond or above reality".
Also the WW1 affected science. One thing was Albert Einstein new ideas on science, space, time, energy, and matter. Einstein idea had implication not only for science but also for how people viewed the world.

How the U.S. & Russia Changed WWI

    The United States joined World War I with the Allies on April 2, 1917 because the Germans said their submarines would begin sinking any ship near England. 3 of the U.S. Ships were sank which then angered the Americans.This plan was called unrestricted submarine warfare. Also Germany said would help Mexico "reconquer" land it had lost to the United States if Mexico would team up with Germany.
One of the reasons Russia quit World War 1 is because in 1917 nearly 5.5 million Russian soldiers had been wounded, killed, or taken prisoner. Also they suffered a lot which made Russians refused to fight any longer.
Germany felt confident about winning World War I because they mounted one final, massive attack on the Allies in France. Germany destroy everything in their path. Once they reach Marne river Paris was less then 40 mile of their reach. Victory for Germany and The Central Powers seemed within their reach. 
US made a significant impact on the war stopping Germany in France, and destroyed their hope to win the war, losing massive amounts of troops.
Three significant impacts the war had on the world was the world lost 8.5 million soldiers, many civilian's suffered and died of starvation diseases and slaughters, and every continent in the world was involved.

Cause of WW1

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_0AxnxVMPYHdndCc01QUEVrdGM/edit?usp=docslist_api

In the 1900's Europe was in peace for 30 years. They work hard to get peace.

The biggest issues that led to WW1 was imperialism, nationalism, militarism, bad alliances, and racialism.

Nationalism- is when a country was better then another.
Imperialism- when a stronger country took over a weaker country.
Racialism- is when someone is judging I another race in a bad way.

There were two sides 
Triple Alliance - Germany, Italy,and Austria-Hungry and the Triple Entente - Great Britain, France, and Russia

Imperialism in India

Gandhi was assassinated by Nathuram Godse a 38 year old man. Gandhi was killed on January 30, 1948 in the Indian city of New Delhi during a evening prayer. Godse believed Gandhi was advocating for more Muslim power in the country.
India were imperialism by the British. When the British took over they took India's salt and were selling them back to them for a higher piece. The British took their clothing material to England so they can make good looking clothes and sell it back to them.
A strategy Gandhi use to get independence's for India was having non violence.
I think Gandhi was successful. I say he was because he got independence's for India. Also because he did it non violence even though they mistreated him.
What Gandhi did in his life that i would find very hard to repeat is fasting because anyone can die when they don't eat.
What he showed us through his life was that you can do stuff without violence in it. It's important because violence will sometimes pop up when you're doing something.
