The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The treaty of Versailles is a peace treaty that ended WWI between Germany and the Allied Powers.The Versailles treaty deprived Germany of around 13.5% of its 1914 territory (some seven million people) and all of its overseas possessions. They had to pay the consequences by giving up their land by 10% and lost the overseas for other countries.Germany was limited to a small army and was forbidden to build large ships. The treaty also forced Germany to pay Great Britain and France for the damage caused by the war.

Since Germany was paying for their actions, a man named Adolf Hitler came in. He claims that germany lost the war because of their weak government, but for his actions, he was sent to prison. Then, he says that he has one person to blame, which was jews. The Hitler became a dictator and lead germany's army.

This is why the people fear that Hitler was coming to lead germany after the war. It would seems that Hitler was not surprised by germanys defeat and for their actions. The german empire used to be really huge, Franz Ferdinand death started the war, the Treaty of Versailles was signed after 5 yearsn after Ferdinands death, etc.

Film lesson: Gandhi

Gandhi was one of those guys that helped gain independence for his country, India, from the British. While he tried to free his countries, he did alot of things like make the salt walk, hunger strike, etc. But in the end, he actually freed his country, but was assasined by a hindu man who didn't like him. Everyone thought of him as their hero. India won their independence in 1947. Everytime he would be put in jail, he would go in a hunger strike by not eating but he could drink.

Gandhi also made the salt march because he didn't want his people to pay for salt from the british so they start walking and jogging until they reached their destination. Many people would try to kill him, to put a stop to his plans for independence, but they had fail. Gandhi would be remembered in history because he believed in himself and worked hard to succeed in that belief. This guy was really a great man for India.
