Welcome to History 12

Welcome to History 12 and the companion blog to this course? Here we will have a chance to pose questions, share opinions, engage in discussion and discuss course topics or items of interest that relate to our classwork. A reminder that this is an open forum and it is expected that responses be appropriate. Think of this as an extension of the classroom, if you wouldn't say it in the classroom please don't type it here. As well, please ensure you add your initials and the period of your socials class to the end of your comments so I know who to give credit to. For example if I was in the period 1 class I would end my comments with RL P-1.

Entry #1

We have looked at how the Paris Peace Conference did little in the way of establishing any type of peace and instead lead to economic and political instability throughout Europe.

Using the information you have gained on the Treaty of Versailles and take on the role of a citizen from your assigned country and write a response indicating how you feel about the Treaty of Versailles. Be sure to include:

What the Treaty does to/for your country.
The job your leader did in negotiating the terms of the treaty.
What your feelings are about the treaty and why.
What else you think should have been included in the treaty.
What the treaty means for the future.
