Task 3 -Great Britain and Germany ( Could have the War been avoided?)
Look at the two scenarios:
1. Germany is confronted very early in their Aggression (Before 1935) by Great Britain and France
2. Germany is allowed to make its Aggressive steps
You already read and learnt about Canada's reaction to the Rise of Totalitarianism (especially the German one). As Canada was part of the British Empire, it needed to have a strong voice of support to Great Britain.
Great Britain failed to recognize the REAL THREAT of German Aggression
Here are the two quotes by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain made in 1939:
Read the Quotes and write a response in YOUR NOTEBOOKS:
" If you were a citizen of Great Britain in 1939, how would you respond to these words of your Prime Minister? Would you rejoice at a perspective of not having a war or would you be in favor of standing up to Adolf Hitler?"
The following is the wording of a printed statement that Neville Chamberlain waved as he stepped off the plane on 30 September, 1938 after the Munich Conference had ended the day before:
"We, the German Führer and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister, have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo-German relations is of the first importance for our two countries and for Europe.
We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again. We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe."
Chamberlain read the above statement in front of 10 Downing St. and said:
"My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour.
I believe it is peace for our time...
Go home and get a nice quiet sleep."

Question: Why was Communism considered dangerous and why Fascism was set to destroy Communism?
IN 1920-1930s the Period of time was called Interwar period
Three main ideologies were competing:
Communism threatened their domination and Capitalists had to get rid of Communism
Fascism and Capitalism were closer to each other. Communism was a bad idea for them
Things that were happening in the USA in 1920s

- Liberalism (Capitalism –Free Market)
- Accumulation of wealth (money)
- Supply and demand
- Banking system and borrowing/lending
- Everyone is for themselves and is led by self interest
- Communism
- Classless society –no rich, no poor
- Collective ownership of everything –no private ownership (companies)
- Everyone gives according to their ability; everyone gets according to their needs
- Idea: People govern themselves (in reality it was a dictatorship)
- Fascism
- In its core it is a Capitalists economic structure, but it does not have free market (controlled by the State)
- Government controls businesses in exchange for Businesses loyalty
- Highly Nationalistic, it emphasizes strength and power
- Dictatorship –one leader
Communism threatened their domination and Capitalists had to get rid of Communism
Fascism and Capitalism were closer to each other. Communism was a bad idea for them
Things that were happening in the USA in 1920s
