  1. Entry task • What does the word Appeasement mean? • Look it up and then use it in a sentence.

  2. The league of Nation- how it failed and why that’s important…

  3. Weak • the League’s ‘powers’ were little more than going ‘tut-tut’. Sanctions did not work. It had no army. • America • the strongest nation in the world never joined; Britain and France were not strong enough to impose pace on their own • Structure • the League's organisation was muddled, so it took ages to do anything; members couldn’t agree, but decisions had to be unanimous - this paralysed the League • Depression • the world-wide Depression made countries try to get more land and power; they were worried about themselves, not about world peace • Unsuccessful • the more the League failed, the less people trusted it; in the end, everybody just ignored it • Members • the League’s main members let it down - Italy and Japan defied and left the League, France and Britain betrayed it • Big bullies • in the 1920s, the League had been quite successful with small, weak countries; in the 1930s, powerful countries like Germany, Italy and Japan defied the League - they were too strong for the League to stop them Because it W.AS. D.U.M.B!!!! “If the nations want peace, the League gives them the way by which peace can be kept. League or no League, a country which is determined to have a war can always have it.” The 1930s historian H.A.L. Fisher sums up the failure of the League in his book, A History of Europe (1938).

  8. To do this question, you need first to borrow two concepts from English: Denotation (what you see) Connotation (how it affects its audience) Hitler holds a bag stating: ‘Deutschland über Alles’.   Behind him, the ‘ex French-British Family’ is comprised of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and so on to Greece and Turkey. This cartoon of October 1938, by the British cartoonist David Low, has the caption: ‘”Europe can look forward to a Christmas of peace” (Hitler). '

  9. Denotation Hitler is a ‘bad Santa’ stealing children. Hitler holds a bag stating: ‘Deutschland über Alles’.   Behind him, the ‘ex French-British Family’ is comprised of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and so on to Greece and Turkey. Connotation Kidnapping children is the lowest, most evil act in society. Meaning Hitler is the evil aggressor – Hitler is trying to take over the world. This cartoon of October 1938, by the British cartoonist David Low, has the caption: ‘”Europe can look forward to a Christmas of peace” (Hitler). '

  10. Denotation Hitler has a bag labelled ‘Deutschland über Alles’. Hitler holds a bag stating: ‘Deutschland über Alles’.   Behind him, the ‘ex French-British Family’ is comprised of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and so on to Greece and Turkey.

This cartoon of October 1938, by the British cartoonist David Low, has the caption: ‘”Europe can look forward to a Christmas of peace” (Hitler). '

  11. Denotation The pillow under ‘Austria’ is empty. Hitler holds a bag stating: ‘Deutschland über Alles’.   Behind him, the ‘ex French-British Family’ is comprised of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and so on to Greece and Turkey. Connotation Empty = gone/annexed. Meaning Austria is annexed (and Czechoslovakia is being conquered).

  12. Denotation Other countries, represented by children, wait in line to be stolen. Hitler holds a bag stating: ‘Deutschland über Alles’.   Behind him, the ‘ex French-British Family’ is comprised of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and so on to Greece and Turkey.

  13. Denotation The bed-head reads: ‘Ex French-British family’. Hitler holds a bag stating: ‘Deutschland über Alles’.   Behind him, the ‘ex French-British Family’ is comprised of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and so on to Greece and Turkey.

' Hitler holds a bag stating: ‘Deutschland über Alles’.   Behind him, the ‘ex French-British Family’ is comprised of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and so on to Greece and Turkey. Connotation The statement is contradicted by what is going on in the picture. Meaning Low is implying that Hitler is lying – the caption is ironic. This cartoon of October 1938, by the British cartoonist David Low, has the caption: ‘”Europe can look forward to a Christmas of peace” (Hitler). '

  15. Finally, always remember to look at: Origin (who drew it) Date (when it was published) Hitler holds a bag stating: ‘Deutschland über Alles’.   Behind him, the ‘ex French-British Family’ is comprised of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and so on to Greece and Turkey. This cartoon of October 1938, by the British cartoonist David Low, has the caption: ‘”Europe can look forward to a Christmas of peace” (Hitler). '
