The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The Treaty of Versailles affected Germany at the end of WW I in a major way. German pretty much lost everything they really had that showed they were a powerful country. At the end of WW1 (Germany's defeat) they had to sign a Treaty which stated that they had to make up for there loses. One of the problems Germany faced after WWI was having to pay back all the damages done by them. Many European countries demanded huge amounts of money from Germany. Not only did they had to pay a high amount of money, they lost 13% of there territory and 12% of there population which made them lose most of there power they had before WW1, basically the country's economy suffered. With there army cut down in size and the economy doing really bad it is why the German people were so willing to believe Hitler and the Nazis when they said they would better Germany and make it like it was before the Treaty. This is what lead to WW2.

I believe the treaty was fair. Germany did do the most damage and even though they were helping an ally of theirs, this did not mean they had to put all their military resources in it. Those are Germany's consequences and they should of knew that the consequences would be harsh.

Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal also know as Ataturk (Also the first president of Turkey) changed turrkey in a major way by making it a much more modern country after WW1. He modernized Turkey and made it more secular. First off he told the people of Turkey to change the way they dressed to more of a modern look the many parts of Europe was all ready wearing. The people of Turkey now wore modern tuxedo like jackets and a tie instead of a traditionally Muslim robe. He also passed all law making it illegal to wear a fez. A fez was a type of hat the comes sometimes with a tail that has no brim. It is just a cone type hat that's flat on the top. This made the people of Turkey to look more civilized.

SECULAR- not pertaining to or connected with religion (opposed to sacred)

First Post "Flim lesson Gandhi"

Gandhi helped his nation of India gain Independence from Great Britain. He used a method called Non- violence. He and his people made a promise not to fight back and show any type of violence back to the British. His philosophy of non-violence was successful at the end even though his people of India had taken so much pain.
The main reason this method helped them is because he made a conference meetings with high British authorities. Gandhi told them to wear their own clothes that they didn't need to wear the British's clothing. Then he went some salt march were he use this idea to make salt because the Indian ocean is part of India so it was Gandhi idea that they have the right to get there own salt from the ocean. It showed everyone that the Indians were not fighting back and it made the British look bad because they would hit them even when the Indians would not fight back.
