7.1. The Russian Revolution began as a result of oppressive rule, social inequalities, and ruthless treatment of peasants. Czar Nicholas II continued the czarist firm rule, but began a program to build Russian Industries.
7.2. Although there was industrial progress in Russia, working conditions and exploited workers looked toward revolutionary movements.
7.3. Between 1904 and 1917, the Czar and Russia faced a series of crises that revealed the czar’s weakness and paved the way for revolution.
7.4. After returning from exile, Lenin and the Bolsheviks gained control of Russia and began to rebuild a new nation. 
7.5. After the death of Lenin, Joseph Stalin seized control and transformed the Soviet Union into a totalitarian state.
7.6. Up to WWI, society believed the Enlightenment ideals that progress should continue and reason would prevail.  The horrors of WWI changed the way people viewed the world through literature, art and intellectual life.
7.7. Also, the horrors of WWI lead to disillusionment in the arts.
7.8. WWI impacted the politics and economies of nations in Europe and in America.
7.9. The economic crisis of the Great Depression led to the loss of democracy in some countries.  In Germany, people turned to strong ruler, Adolf Hitler, to try to solve their economic problems.
7.10. Social unrest and disappointment in the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Mussolini and Fascism in Italy.
7.11. Dictators took control of other European countries; only in nations with strong democratic traditions (Britain, France, and the Scandinavian countries) did democracy survive.

WWI STANDARDS/OBJECTIVES: CH. 13

6.1.  M. The arms race led to a concentration on large armies and the ability to mobilize quickly for war.  Militarism was a policy that came from glorifying military power and maintaining an army prepared for war. (364)
6.2. A.  Growing international rivalries led the nations to make military alliances.  Ironically, this Alliance system was to keep peace in Europe. (364-365)
6.3. I. Imperialism and the competition among European nations over colonial holdings in Asia and Africa fueled rivalries. (363)
6.4. N.  Many people of Europe joined groups to work for peace.  A result of these groups is the developing force of a unifying movement known as Nationalism.  (363)
6.5. SPARK: The Balkan Peninsula was home to an assortment of ethnic groups with nationalist and ethnic disputes. The Balkans was known as the “powder keg” of Europe. (365-366)
6.6.  National goals and interest combined with the complex system of alliances divide European nations between the Central Powers and the Allies. 
6.7.  One European nation after another was drawn into a large and industrialized war that resulted in many casualties on many battlefronts.  WWI battles spread to several continents and required the full resources of many governments, including colonies. (367-371)
6.8.  Germany’s attacks on passenger ships and a German plot bring the US into the conflict. (373-376)
6.9.  WWI becomes a total war, and governments take control of national economies. (373-376)
6.10. In 1917, the United States entered the US on the side of the Allies.  War-weary Russians no longer supported the Russian Czar and the war; Communists seized the Russian government. (376, 390-394)
6.11. After winning the war, the Allies dictated a harsh peace settlement that left many nations feeling betrayed.  (380-383)
6.12. After The Great War, peace was uncertain because the treaty satisfied no one. The war had made a major impact on the world. (382-383)
