EUROPE BETWEEN 1938 - 1940 - A Quick Peek 🌍

Picturing Europe: It's like watching a drama-filled series with twists and turns, and this is Season '38-'40.

MAIN PLOTS 🔵

  • Rise of Bad Guys
    • 🇩🇪 Nazis in Germany and 🇮🇹 Fascists in Italy - the big bullies in the block.
    • These parties caused major havoc, especially in Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.

Real-World Example: Imagine two popular school bullies trying to dominate and influence everyone, and you have Nazis and Fascists!

  • World’s Response
    • 💬 Appeasement Policy: World powers tried to keep them happy hoping they'd behave. (Spoiler Alert: They didn't.)
    • 🤝 Nazi-Soviet Pact, 1939: The unexpected friendship bracelet exchange between Nazis & Soviets.

Real-World Example: Ever tried to calm a crying baby by giving it candy? That's appeasement!

  • Key Battles
    • 🇫🇷 Fall of France and 🇬🇧 Battle of Britain - Germany's quest to conquer.
    • 🎖️ Hitler's winning streak made Mussolini of Italy join the fray.

Real-World Example: It's like a video game where a player's winning streak attracts other players to join their team!

  • Did Hitler Pre-plan the War?
    • A big mystery! Was Hitler the mastermind with a secret war blueprint, or did events just spiral out of control?

EXAM TIP 📝

Question: "Evaluate contributions of Hitler’s foreign policy to the move to global war between 1938 and 1939."

This is like Q4 in your Paper 1 exam.

Strategy 🧠

  • Stay Organized: Answer questions in order! It's like building with LEGO. Start with the base and work your way up!
  • Quotations: Highlight useful quotes from sources. (Think of them as special power-ups for your essay!)
  • Blend Knowledge: Use both sources and your own knowledge. It's like making a perfect sandwich with ingredients from different places!
