Welcome to our History Study Guide that explores the interwar period of 1919 to 1939. We look at international relations during this period, in a time where the hope and efforts of harmony post war world one were abandoned as economic pressures and ideology created a drift towards another war. The course material includes the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, International Agreements and Hitler and the Drift to War.
Our Course begins with a look at the fallout from World War One. The Paris Peace Conference set the tone for international relations for the period, with "The Big Three" agreeing a number of measures and treaties to try and get relations back on track.
One of the main decisions facing the Paris Peace Conference was how to deal with Germany. The infamous Treaty of Versailles was the agreement that dictated terms to Germany. This Treaty of Versailles mind map outlines the key points.
The League of Nations was formed with the view of promoting internationalism, settling disputes and dealing with common security problems. This note looks at the background and some of the achievements in the League in the 1920's.
How did the League of Nations operate? This useful chart highlights the main organs of the organisation and how they interacted with each other, from the Council to the Assembly, the Commissions and the Court of International Justice.
This flashcard deck takes a look at some of the International Agreements that were formed in the 1920's to deal with the fallout from the First World War and the collapse of empires. Ideal for ensuring that you know all the right facts pre test.
The global economic depression put pressure on the fragile hope of internationalist harmony as countries struggled to deal with the poverty on their doorsteps. The rise of dictators would see a new landscape and the emergence of nationalism.
Events in the Thirties set the tone for a drift towards war. Mussolini's desire for more resources and the Abyssinian Crisis foretold of the difficulties of Britain and France in maintaining the status quo in relations. All the while, Hitler was watching.
This chart outlines the major foreign policy initiatives of Hitler in the first years of his dictatorship. The actions of leaving the League of Nations, pursuing rearmament and re-entering the Rhineland set the tone for the clashes ahead.
By 1938 Hitlers policy of lebensraum was in full effect. Within a short spell, Hitler had performed the Anschluss and had his sights set on the Sudetenland. The policy of Appeasement was not working, and the Munich Agreement was soon in tatters.
This flashcard deck is provided to ensure that you are fully aware of all the main concepts and events relating to this period. With an concise explanation of each term on the reverse of the card, these cards are invaluable for memorising the key facts.
Our International Relations Course concludes with a review quiz on the all the material presented in the course. Test you knowledge on all the key events regarding The League of Nations, International Treaties and the Drift to the Second World War.
