Total War
- 3
Def: Idea that war involved the governments, economies and populations of participating nations and everyone helped win a war.
LO3: The total war strategy was useful during this time because it allowed civilians to help with the war effort.

RU was not largely affected by the Depression. They got a new leader though and he (Stalin) collectivized farmland and industrialized.
New Deal

7.6
Def: Causes of WWII were the Treaty of Versailles and its treatment of Germany, and its facist rule to come about, and facism inside of Europe.
The Global Great Depression following WWI resulted in authorization governments and political unrest because of things like Hitler’s rise to power in Germany.

LO6: The Allied Powers which included: BR, US, and the SU fought against the Axis Powers which included GY, JP, and Italy. The consequences of WWII were the effects of the Holocaust, peace settlement, the Marshall Plan which helped to avoid another depression, and the decline of colonialism.

Ukrainian genocide
7.8
Def: Holodomor or Ukrainian War, soviets started collectivizing land and putting it under state control. Kulaks were wealthy/middle class landowners who were given a little bit of capitalism. Stallin said if they did not give up the land they would be put in prison. They did not want to collectivize land so Stallin took all the food and shipped it to russia creating an artificial famine killing 3.9 million U7LO8: The Ukrainian Genocide was caused by Vladimir Lenin's desire to industrialize the Soviet Union. He imposed the New Economic Policy and enforced communism. His 5 Year Plans achieved the goal to industrialize and bring jobs, however working conditions were terrible and famine resulted.
