Activity 4

Significant Political Events/Changes

During World War:

 May 16, 1916. Sykes-Picot Agreement Leads to Ottoman Empire Break Up  Nov 7, 1917. Bolshevik Revolution Leads to Birth of Soviet Union  In 1906, Finnish women were the first Europeans to win the right to vote, followed in short order by Norweigan women (1913), Russian women (1917), and then British women over thirty years old, Canadian women of some ethnicities and races, and German women (1918).  When the U. stock market crashed on October 29, 1929, the Great Depression was already starting to affect countries around the globe. The depression spread to Europe by 1931, pushing many governments toward authoritarian regimes. In Germany, the country’s economy tanked and unemployment soared. Germans were drawn toward radical anti-democratic parties on both the right (Nazis and nationalists) and the left (Communists), which promised solutions. Adolf Hitler would mix this economic desperation with his racist, toxic nationalism to gain and consolidate power and ultimately lead the world into a war more deadly than the first.  Jan 12, 1919. Two months after World War I ended, world leaders convened in Paris to discuss the terms of peace. The war’s victors—led by the United States, Britain, and France—dominated conversations regarding terms of peace and multiple treaties resulted, most notably the Treaty of Versailles, which forced major territorial concessions from Germany and limited its army and navy. Most consequentially, it forced Germany to accept responsibility for the war and to pay reparations for damages done to its enemies, which humiliated and infuriated the German people and would fuel the rise of Adolf Hitler in the coming years. The Treaty of Versailles also established the League of Nations to serve as an international forum based on the premise of collective security to avoid renewed conflict.

Post-War:

 At the end of World War II, the United States and its allies created a series of international organizations and agreements to promote global peace and prosperity. These institutions included the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.  In 1960, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) elected the world’s first female head of government, Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike.  Looking to rebuild after World War II, Japan developed its manufacturing sector, emphasized exports, and invested in education and infrastructure. These reforms took Japan from being the ninth-largest world economy in 1950 to the second largest by 1968.

 In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union was on the brink of collapse. After nearly half a century, the Cold War ended in a triumphant moment for the U.-led Western alliance. From the ashes of the Soviet Union arose more than a dozen new democracies; indeed, the world appeared to be on the cusp of a new era in which peace, liberal democracy, and free trade would prevail.  In 1992, building on the past success of institutions such as the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Commission, twelve European countries signed the Maastricht Treaty, which sought to create an even more integrated Europe through an economic and political union known as the European Union (EU).

by Norweigan women (1913), Russian women (1917), and then British women over thirty years
old, Canadian women of some ethnicities and races, and German women (1918).
When the U.S. stock market crashed on October 29, 1929, the Great Depression was already
starting to affect countries around the globe. The depression spread to Europe by 1931, pushing
many governments toward authoritarian regimes. In Germany, the country’s economy tanked

Adolf Hitler would mix this economic desperation with his racist, toxic nationalism to gain and
