IMPERIALISM AND WWI

LESSON 1

IMPERIALISM AND WWI: This unit focuses on imperialism and its contributions to the global tensions, which led to WWI. As nations and empires expanded in their quest for increase power and raw materials, they began to come into conflict with one another. Nationalism developed in many countries in Europe as well as Asia. A system of alliances was created. With the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in June 1914, numerous countries became involved in war due to the complex alliances. New technologies revolutionized battle, with trench warfare as the epitome of WWI fighting. Day(s): Monday Focus of this lesson: The Rise of Imperialism and the British in India Enduring Understanding: Imperialism contributed to growing tensions between various nations. Essential Questions: Why do people trade? Content Objective: Students will understand how and why industrialized nations expanded. Skill Objective: Students will be able to locate European colonies and spheres of influence on a map. Arizona Standards: Global events, economic issues and political ideologies ignited tensions leading to worldwide military confrontations in a context of development and change. NCSS Theme: People, Places, and Environments: During their studies, learners develop an understanding of spatial perspectives, and examine changes in the relationship between peoples, places and environments. What you as an instructor need to know: The Industrial Revolution of the 1800s brought about the demand for raw materials and cheap labor in the manufacturing of goods. Industrialized nations looked to resource-rich locations such as India, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Rather than establishing trade agreements with other countries, European nations set up colonies, protectorates, and spheres of influence. European rule generally followed this pattern: invade, take over land, introduce Western technology such as railroads and telegraphs, exploit native population for labor, rule from afar. Assessment: Students will take the unit pre-test for pre-assessment. After the lecture, students will fill in Map 1 in their Chapter 24 map packet as formative assessment. Instructional materials: Lecture 24.1, Handouts 24.A and 24.AA, Chapter 24 Map Packet, projector, colored pencils

Use of technology/inquiry: The lecture outline is a PowerPoint. Accommodations: Modified notes handout 24.AA Vocabulary: imperialism, protectorate, sphere of influence (defined in lecture) Lesson outline and description of strategies:
1. Pre-test: As this is day one of the unit, students will take a pre-test to measure prior knowledge. 2. After the test, a lecture on the rise of imperialism and the British in India will be given (Lecture 24.1). Students will fill out Handout 24.A or 24.AA as notes for the lecture. 3. Students will then complete Map 1 in the Chapter 24 Map Packet.

New technologies revolutionized battle, with trench warfare as the epitome of WWI fighting. Day(s): Tuesday Focus of this lesson: European Rule in Africa Enduring Understanding: Imperialism contributed to growing tensions between various nations. Essential Questions: Can imperialism be considered successful? Content Objective: Students will understand the race for power contributed to the rapid division of Africa. Skill Objective: Students will be able to identify how Africa was divided among European nations. Arizona Standards: Geography Concept 2: Places and Regions: PO 2: Explain the concept of regions and why they change. NCSS Theme: People, Places, and Environments: During their studies, learners develop an understanding of spatial perspectives, and examine changes in the relationship between peoples, places and environments. What you as an instructor need to know: Africa was the last populated continent to be colonized by Europeans. France took Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco (which it later divided with Spain in 1904). The Suez Canal linking the Mediterranean and Red Seas was opened in 1869. Britain took control of the canal in 1875 and made Egypt a protectorate. West Africa was rich in resources such as gold, timber, hides, and palm oil. Britain, France, and Germany took over much of western Africa. Despite the efforts of the native peoples, Europeans established rule. King Leopold II of Belgium claimed the Congo and set up rubber plantations, which practiced abusive policies. Other European nations grew worried that the rest of Africa would soon be taken, so a great race for Africa began. The Dutch settled South Africa, which is then eventually taken over by Britain. In general, Europeans grew wealthy by exploiting African workers.

Assessment: Students will define vocab terms as formative assessment. After the lecture, students will fill in Map 2 in their Chapter 24 map packet as formative assessment. Students will also write a 3-2-1 exit ticket as formative assessment. Instructional materials: Lecture 24.2, Handouts 24.B and 24.BB, Chapter 24 Map Packet, projector, colored pencils Use of technology/inquiry: The lecture outline is a PowerPoint.

As nations and empires expanded in their quest for increase power and raw materials, they began to come into conflict with one another. Nationalism developed in many countries in Europe as well as Asia. A system of alliances was created. With the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in June 1914, numerous countries became involved in war due to the complex alliances. New technologies revolutionized battle, with trench warfare as the epitome of WWI fighting. Day(s): Wednesday Focus of this lesson: Americas Quest for Empire Enduring Understanding: Imperialism contributed to growing tensions between various nations. Essential Questions: Why does conflict develop? Content Objective: Students will understand the desire for power, raw materials, and new markets contributed to the rise of imperialism. Skill Objective: Students will be able to identify factors that contributed to both European and American expansion. Arizona Standards: Social Studies Concept 8: World at War: Global events, economic issues and political ideologies ignited tensions leading to worldwide military confrontations in a context of development and change. NCSS Theme: Individuals, Groups, and Institutions: It is important that students know how institutions are formed, what controls and influences them, how they control and influence individuals and culture, and how institutions can be maintained or changed. What you as an instructor need to know: In the late 1800s, the U.S. gained territory in Latin America and the Pacific. The Cuban revolt against the Spanish contributed significantly to Americas involvement with Latin America. In April 1898 the U.S. declared war on Spain. The United States won the war and Cuban became a republic under U.S. protection. At this time, the U.S. also gained Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. In 1898 Hawaii came under U.S. control. The U.S. also assisted Panama with its revolt against Colombia in order to gain a foothold in the area to build the Panama Canal. Assessment: Students will make predictions about Americas involvement with imperialism in their journals as a form of pre-assessment. Instructional materials: Lecture 24.3, Handouts 24.C and 24.CC, essay assignment instructions

Use of technology/inquiry: The lecture outline is a PowerPoint. Students will go to the computer lab for research. Accommodations: Modified notes handout 24.CC.

Day(s): Thursday Focus of this lesson: Nationalism in China Enduring Understanding: Imperialism contributed to growing tensions between various nations. Essential Questions: How do governments change? Content Objective: Students will understand European and American economic success greatly influenced trade and society in China. Skill Objective: Students will be able to identify the ways in which Chinese government was influenced by European ideas. Arizona Standards: Social Studies Concept 8: World at War: Global events, economic issues and political ideologies ignited tensions leading to worldwide military confrontations in a context of development and change. NCSS Theme: Time, Continuity, and Change: Knowledge and understanding of the past enables us to analyze the causes and consequences of events and developments, and to place these in the context of the institutions, values and beliefs of the periods in which they took place. What you as an instructor need to know: In the 1800s, China was under the rule of the Qing dynasty, which wanted to hold on to traditional practices. Over time, however, China was influenced by Western ideas. The British had a high demand for Chinese tea, silk, and porcelain. Britain originally traded valuable silver for these goods, but then began selling opium from India in its place. Chinas emperor wanted the sale of opium to stop due to its damaging effects, and the Opium Wars began. The Chinese surrendered due to their lack of modern weapons, and Britain gained Hong Kong and extraterritoriality. In the 1850s, the Tai Ping Rebellion attempted to overthrow the Qing emperor. Europeans helped dissolve the rebellion, and Chinese officials convinced the emperor that Western technology could help end revolts and foreign takeovers. The prevalence of foreign powers in China led to the Boxer Rebellion, quelled in 1900. In 1911, the Qing dynasty collapsed and the Nationalist Party took over successfully in 1928 under the leadership of Giang Kai-shek.

NCSS Theme: Individuals, Groups, and Institutions: It is important that students know how institutions are formed, what controls and influences them, how they control and influence individuals and culture, and how institutions can be maintained or changed. What you as an instructor need to know: The Tokugawa shogunate governed Japan from 1603-1868. As European missionaries and traders entered Japan, the Tokugawa shoguns feared European ideas would destroy Japanese culture; contact with foreigners was prohibited. In 1853, U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Japan with a letter from President Fillmore calling for trade with Japan. Out of fear of an attack, the shogun agreed to trade and to exchange ambassadors. Similar arrangements were made with European nations. In 1868 a group of samurai overthrew the shogun and ushered in the Meiji, or Enlightened, era. During this time, an army and navy were established and public schools and the tax system improved. By 1914 Japan was a leading industrial country. Japan looked to expand, but came into conflict with Russia. Japan dominated Russia and established footholds in Korea and Manchuria. Japan was now officially a major power. Assessment: Hot-seat questions (provided as Assessment 24.5)

NCSS Theme: People, Places, and Environments: During their studies, learners develop an understanding of spatial perspectives, and examine changes in the relationship between peoples, places and environments. What you as an instructor need to know: Nationalism and empire building caused European nations to come into conflict with each other as they tried to expand. Militarism and conscription spread throughout Europe, and a series of alliances was formed. The Triple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy while the Triple Entente consisted of Britain, France, and Russia. The Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires had long ruled the Balkans, but nationalism led to severe tensions. When Austria-Hungary took over Bosnia after attempting to limit Serbias expansion, Russia stepped in to help Serbia prepare for war. Emperor William II of Germany demanded Russia accept AustriaHungarys takeover or face war with Germany. Russia backed down, but in 1912 the Balkan League (Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, and Serbia) declared war on the Ottoman Empire. As a result, the Turks lost most of their European territory. The Greeks and Serbs demanded land Bulgaria had won in the war, so Bulgaria attacked. The Turks then attacked Bulgaria; the Treaty of Bucharest resulted in an uneasy peace.

Nationalism developed in many countries in Europe as well as Asia. A system of alliances was created. With the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in June 1914, numerous countries became involved in war due to the complex alliances. New technologies revolutionized battle, with trench warfare as the epitome of WWI fighting. Day(s): Tuesday and Wednesday Focus of this lesson: War Breaks out in Europe Enduring Understanding: The system of allies contributed to divisions in Europe. Essential Questions: Can technological advancements be considered successful when used in warfare? Content Objective: Students will understand the events of WWI were a social, economic, technological, and political turning point for many nations in the modern era. Skill Objective: Students will be able to identify the primary causes of WWI. Arizona Standards: Social Studies Concept 8: World at War: Global events, economic issues and political ideologies ignited tensions leading to worldwide military confrontations in a context of development and change. NCSS Theme: Time, Continuity, and Change: Knowledge and understanding of the past enables us to analyze the causes and consequences of events and developments, and to place these in the context of the institutions, values and beliefs of the periods in which they took place. What you as an instructor need to know: In June 1914, heir to the throne of AustriaHungary Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a Bosnian Serb. This led AustriaHungary to declare war on Serbia. The system of allies resulted in mobilization and soon the Great War began. The Allies were considered to be France, Russian, Britain, and Italy while the Central Powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. The newly developed trench warfare was widely ineffective, but new technology did introduce more powerful weapons. WWI marks the use of total war, meaning the lives of all civiliansnot just soldierswere affected. Propaganda was commonly used to affect public opinion. As men went to the front to fight, women took their places in factories, which later contributed to the advancement of womens rights. Assessment: Worksheets 24.1, 24.2, thesis review (formative assessment)

LESSON 9

IMPERIALISM AND WWI: This unit focuses on imperialism and its contributions to the global tensions, which led to WWI. As nations and empires expanded in their quest for increase power and raw materials, they began to come into conflict with one another. Nationalism developed in many countries in Europe as well as Asia. A system of alliances was created. With the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in June 1914, numerous countries became involved in war due to the complex alliances. New technologies revolutionized battle, with trench warfare as the epitome of WWI fighting. Day(s): Monday and Tuedsay Focus of this lesson: WWI Brings Change Enduring Understanding: WWI marks the start of a new global interdependence and interconnectivity. Essential Questions: Who should determine the consequences of waging war? Content Objective: Students will understand the ways in which Europe changed politically, geographically, and economically after WWI. Skill Objective: Students will be able to illustrate differences in landholdings based on preand post-WWI maps. Arizona Standards: Social Studies Concept 8: World at War: Global events, economic issues and political ideologies ignited tensions leading to worldwide military confrontations in a context of development and change.

DAILY LESSON PLAN

IMPERIALISM AND WWI

LESSON 10

IMPERIALISM AND WWI: This unit focuses on imperialism and its contributions to the global tensions, which led to WWI. As nations and empires expanded in their quest for increase power and raw materials, they began to come into conflict with one another. Nationalism developed in many countries in Europe as well as Asia. A system of alliances was created. With the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in June 1914, numerous countries became involved in war due to the complex alliances. New technologies revolutionized battle, with trench warfare as the epitome of WWI fighting. Day(s): Wednesday Focus of this lesson: Revolution in Russia Enduring Understanding: WWI brought about changes in various governments. Essential Questions: How do governments change? Content Objective: Students will understand the events that led to Lenins rule in Russia. Skill Objective: Students will be able to identify the ways in which Russian government changed following WWI. Arizona Standards: Social Studies Concept 8: World at War: Global events, economic issues and political ideologies ignited tensions leading to worldwide military confrontations in a context of development and change. NCSS Theme: Time, Continuity, and Change: Knowledge and understanding of the past enables us to analyze the causes and consequences of events and developments, and to place these in the context of the institutions, values and beliefs of the periods in which they took place. What you as an instructor need to know: Internal problems caused by the war led to unrest in Russia. Peasants had very little, Jew and Poles were mistreated, and in 1905, Russia lost a war with Japan for which the czar was blamed. The czar fell in 1917 after civil unrest. Soviets were established to represent the concerns of the Russian people. Vladimir Lenin emerged as the leader of the Bolshevik soviet, and eventually became the head of the new government. Between 1918 and 1921, Russia endured a civil war between the Reds and the Whites. The Whites eventually gave up, and Lenin remained in power.
