Part II: Outbreak of War and Canadian Contributions

· World War 2 is a fascinating and an extremely large-scale event that cannot be fully covered through the high school lens. The scope of our exploration of World War 2 will again work to highlight the matters of explicit historical significance and the roles that Canada played in this event. Further exploration of this event continues in the 20th Century History course offered at your home schools.

1) Road to War – Questions and Analysis

· Questions may be answered in point form, except for question 12 – this will require a paragraph response

2) Rise of Dictatorships Summary and Analysis

· Complete the Chart and Venn Diagram Organizer on the document “Rise of Dictatorships”

3) World War II Begins

Part 3 – Synthesis Creation:

· Watch the following videos:

· https://youtu.be/Q78COTwT7nE - Only need to watch to 3:47

· https://youtu.be/AUXIuYHFgBE - Only need to watch to 3:35

· With World War I the events leading to the outbreak of war were summarized as six concepts that created the acronym M.A.N.I.A.C – (militarism, alliances, nationalism, imperialism, assassination, and a chain-reaction). World War 2 began for very different reasons, though connections to World War 1 do exist.

Your Task:

· Create an acronym (like MANIAC) for these reasons.

· In 8-10 sentences, explain your choices and summarize your rationale for these selections.
