Here are the teacher pack items for The Aftermath of World War I:
Overview In this experience, students watch a video and create a KW chart. Then they learn about Wilson’s Fourteen Points and the Treaty of Versailles and create a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting them. They analyze how the Treaty of Versailles contributed to the outbreak of World War II. Next they study how the map of Europe changed as a result of World War I and explain how state borders do not always take into account culture and politics. Finally they research one of three topics related to the post-World War I period: the League of Nations, the influenza pandemic, or the changing role of women in society. Objectives
World War I broke out in August, 1914. The United States didn’t join the war until August, 1917. By November 11, 1918, Germany signed the Armistice agreement. The war was officially over. The Armistice halting the War to End All Wars was signed in Compiègne, France, at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918— the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The exact time of the signing was no coincidence. Leaders hoped that it would remind future generations of the heavy price of the Great War. In this lesson, you will learn about events at the end of the war.
