Part 3 - Cold War Crises (The Cold War)

<ul>
	<li>League of Nations: Imagine if after a huge fight at school, a council is formed to ensure everyone gets along. This was the League of Nations but for countries after WWI.</li>
	<li>Disarmament: Think of two kids with toy swords. If they both put them away, they can&#39;t fight. This is what countries tried to do with weapons.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Set up by: League of Nations, Britain &amp; the USA</li>
	<li>Goal: Promote international peace by reducing weapons</li>
	<li>Remember: Germany joined, but soon after, Hitler left. Imagine attending a party but leaving because you felt mistreated!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Before Hitler: Germany secretly built weapons. Think of sneaking cookies from the jar when no one&#39;s looking.</li>
	<li>Places involved: Netherlands and Sweden made weapons. Also, a hidden clause in the 1922 Treaty of Rapallo: Germany 🤝 Soviet Union = Exchange of military training &amp; weapons.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Disarmament Issue: Felt like the only kid without a toy (or in this case, weapons).</li>
	<li>Germany&#39;s vulnerability: Neighbours had powerful toys, Germany couldn&rsquo;t even build a wall.</li>
	<li>Hitler&#39;s terms: Either everyone puts their toys away (disarms) or Germany gets to have as many toys as its neighbours (rearm). Imagine wanting the same number of candies as your friend or none at all!</li>
	<li>The Result: Felt left out &amp; treated unfairly, so Germany left the conference &amp; the League.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Hitler&rsquo;s Viewpoint: Germany felt humiliated and discriminated against. Picture feeling constantly picked on and wanting respect.</li>
	<li>Key Quote: &quot;What I sign, I will stand by. What I cannot stand by, I will not sign.&quot; It&#39;s like promising to do chores; if he doesn&rsquo;t think he can do it, he won&rsquo;t promise!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Origin
	<ul>
		<li>British newspaper, The Daily Mail, 1933</li>
		<li>Interviews provide firsthand accounts. Like getting the story straight from your friend!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Purpose
	<ul>
		<li>Publicize Hitler&#39;s views to a British audience. Like posting your thoughts on social media for others to see.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Content
	<ul>
		<li>Hitler&#39;s refusal to sign any agreement he can&#39;t uphold</li>
		<li>Expresses Germany&#39;s sense of humiliation &amp; desire for respect</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Value
	<ul>
		<li>Direct insight into Hitler&rsquo;s mindset and feelings about the Disarmament Conference.</li>
		<li>Reflects Germany&rsquo;s national sentiment of the time.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Limitations
	<ul>
		<li>Potential bias as it&#39;s from Hitler&#39;s perspective.</li>
		<li>It&#39;s like hearing one side of a story &ndash; might not have the full picture!</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

✏️ Remember: The League of Nations tried to create a peaceful world by reducing weapons. However, Germany, especially under Hitler, felt singled out and discriminated against. This led to tensions and eventually their withdrawal from international peace efforts.
