We learned that nationalism was one of the causes of World War I. Our textbook says nationalism is “pride and deep devotion to one’s nation.” People from certain areas felt they were superior to those from other countries, and this made them more willing to fight over disagreements. But nationalism doesn't necessarily have to be seen as a bad thing. It can be a uniting factor, motivating people within a country to get along and work to accomplish goals that would improve the country.
Do you think that nationalism today is more of a good thing, or a bad thing? Why? Explain.

Journal #38 In 1917, Germany resumed attacking American ships going to Europe as part of its blockade. In addition, the Zimmerman Telegram made it clear Germany was trying to get Mexico to join the Central Powers. In response to these developments, On April 7, 1917, the United States House of Representatives voted 373-50 to declare war on Germany and its allies and join WWI. One of the no votes was Jeanette Rankin of Montana, the first female member of Congress. She was called a traitor and bitterly criticized for her vote. Nevertheless, she took the time to respond to criticism and explain her position to her constituents. If you were a member of Congress in April 1917, would you have voted in favor or against the resolution to join WWI? How would you explain this vote to the citizens of your district? |
Jeannette Rankin of Minnesota delivers the first speech by a woman in Congress on August 7, 1917. A pacifist, she cast one of 30 votes against WWI. After 2 decades away from Congress, she was elected again in 1940. On December 8, 1941, the House of Representatives voted 388-1 to declare War on Japan. Rankin was the single vote against the Declaration of War.

In our gallery walk, we learned about destructive technology such as submarines with torpedoes, chemical weapons, machine guns, blimps, airplanes, and bombs. Also we learned about life in the trenches, including boredom, lack of toilets or running water, body lice, other deadly diseases such as typhus, cholera, yellow fever and smallpox, constant wetness of trenches causing trench foot, trench rats eating human flesh and growing to the size of cats, and shell shock as a reaction to experiencing the destruction.
Which of these aspects of life for soldiers in World War I horrifies you the most? Why? Explain.

In the 1800s, wealthy Americans moved to the Kingdom of Hawaii and built very successful sugar plantations. These businessmen took advantage of Hawaii's favorable climate to grow massive amounts of sugar. This sugar could be imported to the United States duty-free (no taxes) because of the 1875 Reciprocity Agreement between The United States and the Kingdom of Hawaii. Hawaii's economy thrived and Hawaii became a wealthy place, however very dependent on the sugar industry. In 1890, the United States Congress passed the McKinley Tariff Act which began taxing Hawaiian sugar at 50%. This crippled Hawaii's sugar industry and left many Hawaiians living in poverty. Around the same time, the King of Hawaii Kalākaua was given an ultimatum. Americans threatened to remove him from power or kill him if he did not agree to sign the "Bayonet Constitution," (given this nickname because it was signed against the King's will.) This constitution removed the King from having any real power and ensured that wealthy American land-owners would be in control of the Kingdom. In 1891, King Kalakua died and Queen Liliuokalani became the monarch on Hawaii. She succeeded in restoring some power to the monarchy with favorable Hawaiian Supreme Court decisions which forced anti-Monarch elements in power to resign. Next, Queen Liliuokalni traveled around the islands on horseback speaking with the locals about what actions she should take to improve the economy and bring prosperity back to Hawaii. She considered instituting a lottery, legalizing the production opium, and convincing the Hawaiian legislature to pass a new Constitution that would reestablish control of the Monarch. Journal #31 If you were Queen Liliuokalani, what actions would you pursue to try and bring some wealth back to Hawaii and help your people? Would you attempt to establish a Hawaiian lottery, legalize drug production, or pass a new Constitution to restore your power? Explain. What might be positive or negative consequences to taking this action? |

Journal #19 Watch the first 3 minutes of this segment of 60 minutes about the unlikely beginning of the Arab Spring. A street vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire to draw attention to the injustice facing workers like him. He passed away 19 days after his self-immolation protest. Improbably, his act inspired hundreds of thousands of Tunisians to take to the street in protest. Eventually the unrest in Tunisia started spreading eastward and Libyans, Egyptians, Syrians and others took to the streets chanting "ash-sha'b yurid isaaat an-nizam" or "the people want to bring down the regime." Journal #19 Would you have participated in the Arab Spring revolutions? Why or why not? or Besides Mohamed Bouazizi, is there another person who seemed inconsequential, but who's actions unlikely changed the course of history? What did this person do?
