Today we reviewed the answers for the questions about Soviet international relations in the 1920s and 30s. It is important to see the difference between a world that was sending troops to support the Bolsheviks' enemies (the Whites) in the Civil War, and a world that was inviting the USSR to meetings such as the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928. Yes, the Soviets joined the League in 1934, but they were soon expelled in December, 1939 when they invaded Finland (in the Winter War). What was Stalin after when he engaged in international treaty and organizations? Remember his "Socialism in one country" slogan. Remember that Hitler and Stalin represented opposite ends of the political spectrum. They did not sign a pact because they were friends: each was using the other to get what he needed at that point in time - it was a temporary arrangement! Here are the notes:

I also gave the outline for the style of questions that will be on the test. Note that there will be three writing sections: a short mini-paragraph; a short/mid-length paragraph; and, the larger 150-word paragraph. In the afternoon class, we had time to go over possible pre-write notes for some of the sample paragraph prompts found on p. 44 of the Falk workbook:
 |
| Practice paragraph #9 (Falk. p. 44) |
 |
| Practice paragraph #10 (Falk, p. 44) |
 |
| Practice paragraph #11 (Falk, p. 44) |
REMEMBER THE RUSSIA/USSR UNIT TEST IS ON MONDAY.
