I learned that the end of WWI affected Germany as they had to pay reparations and the Wiemar Republic was a democratic government that emerged after World War I. That government didn't do much to help Germany and the Treaty of Versailles impacted the economy of Germany. Because of that, Germany started to lean towards to more extremist views. During 1924 and 1929, the U.S. helped Germany by giving them loans and the Western countries developed a plan to then reduce reparation payments. I also learned that Hitler came to power by being elected, not by taking over the government or taking over a country, but by the fact that people agreed with his views even though they were heinous. Hitler was a right-wing extremist and blamed Jewish people for the problems of Germany. When Hitler was incarcerated, he wrote a manifesto that portrayed his ides, like his antisemitism, strong, extreme German views and his anticommunism. Hitler had strong ideas on what the "perfect person" looked like. Detailing them to be blonde haired and had blue eyes. He deemed them the "Aryan Race." As stated, he blamed the Jewish people for everything and that Germany needed a "racial purity." He wanted Germany in the future to be free of the "sick" and full of the Aryan race. The Great Depression affected so many other countries in Europe, not just in America. Which caused a rise in totalitarian leaders because they made promises about recovering their economies. By labeling the maps, I am able to identify European countries a little more than I was able to before. It also helped me know where and what happened during WWII. Especially the important battles and the ones that happened overseas. Being able to label countries and seas on the Map of the Pacific allows me to know what happened between which countries and also, where the occurred. The three things I've learned from this project is that they found interesting ways to communicate with others as the telephone couldn't work in some cases. It was interesting to see the many different things they used and the use of Morse code and how it helped them. It was also interesting to found out that it wasn't only just medics that were apart of the war but to also find out that nuns and sisters helped. I was as well intrigued by the development of ID tags and how different they were from then and today. I learned many different things about World War I and it was definitely intriguing to know the story behind those artifacts.
