The Treaty of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles was held in the palace of Versailles ( on the right). In the treaty of Versailles Germany was blamed for the entire WW1. Germany and their allies had lost the war. In the treaty Germany had to pay the other countries for the cost of the war. Also they lost many things. Germany was not allowed to have colonies on other countries. The countries Germany had during the imperialism were taken away from them. Germany was not allowed to have a greater number of people in the army. The treaty members decided to control this just in case the Germans wanted to rebel. Germany had lost the power they had for many years before the World War started.
I think that the historians say that the treaty led to the rise of Fascism and Adolph Hitler because the Germans were mad because they had to pay for the World War. Also Germany at that time were looking for a leader. They wanted to get out of having to do what the treaty said they had to do so it they would needed someone to believe in and to get them out of doing what they had to do because of the treaty.

Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal modernized Turkey by trying to make them change their way of living. He said that they should try and be like the other people in the world. He told them they should wear ties and shirts and not the little fez they wear. The fez was not international he would say. He wanted the people from Turkey to wear hats. Also he wanted women to stop wearing the cloth in their head. The cloth would cover their hair. He wanted Turkey to change into a modern country.
Secular means worldly more than spiritual.

Film lesson Gandhi

Gandhi lead India to its Independence from Britain. Gandhi made speeches so that the people of India would have some knowledge of what was going on in India. He would gather people and speak the truth of the British doings. Gandhi would give the Indians advice to so they would not be helping the British and yet they would not use violence against the British. Gandhi would say to the Indians that they should not use violence against the British because he believed that he told them that the British would change when they would see their pain. One of his famous quotes have to do with not using British method as their own. The quote was "An eye for an eye, and soon the world is blind". Told the Indians to make their own clothes and not wear the British manufactured clothes. This would make the British have less money given to them from the Indians. He also made the Salt March in which he walked for 200 miles to the sea and made salt. He said that the Indians should make their own salt since Britain had tax the salt. He always told the Indians that they should not fight back. He was starving himself just because he heard that the Indians had killed some policemen.
I think that Gandhi had a great part in the independence of India. He was called to be the father of India's independence. However I believe that India would have gotten their independence with or without Gandhi. Maybe it would have taken longer and they would have different methods on how to gain their independence, but they would still gain it. Their were a lot of other people that longed for the independence of India. Either way Britain was having a heard time back home. With the end of World War 2 just two years before it would have been harder for Britain to control everything like they usually did.
