the treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The Treaty of Versailles affected the Germans at the end of WW1. It was form by the Legion Nation. The Treaty was made to punish the Germans. Germany was blame for all the people who die. The Treaty was sign by the Legion of nation. Which were the U.S, England and Russia. It affected Germany because they had to pay billions of dollars to the countries that were damage. German began to be destroy because the money that they sent to the countries were meaning less. Germany had to give away some of it land because of the punishment and also there sea.
Some rules of the Treaty is that they had to pay the other countries and give away there lands and over see because of the damage they done. I think that the punishment was fair. I think this because Germany was the one who started the war and they did a lot of damage to other countries. I think  they say this because Hitler appear after German was in its bad condition.

mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal aka Ataturk modern turkey by changing the way they dress and taking away the little hat they wear in their heads called the fez. Mustafa wanted the Muslim people to dress like the Americans and Europeans. He change turkey by making the people wear different cloths and letting women have the right to vote. He also change turkey by taking away the religious laws and introducing the secular system. The new system mall all the people equal even if they were rich or poor. The word secular means things that are not regard. Just like religion or the cloths they wear with the hat.

film lesson "gandhi"

Gandhi did a lot of things to help Indians gain their independence. he went to study law in London and then went to South Africa as a barrister. while in South Africa he took part in a protest against the Transvaal government treatment of Indian settlers. after joining the congress movement Gandhi return to India and emerged as a one of the party leaders. Gandhi also influence Indians to buy Indians good instead of British stuff.
Gandhi believe in a non-violence . he encourage his followers to use the philosophy of non-violence against the British. he used the philosophy of non-violence while he was in the march to the village of sea. he used the philosophy when the British found out that the Indians were making their own salt. he did because when the British people came the Indian people lead them take them to jail or beat them up.
extra credit: i think the Independence was because of Gandhi. i think that because if Gandhi hasn't appear in India they would probably still be a British country. if gandhi never appear in India when the British hit the people the Indian people would hit them back and that why there would be more reason not to let them be Independence . it was Gandhi who let India free because he did form protest towards the British.
