2/15/2011 HOMEWORK

Hi kids,

Tonight your homework is to gain an understanding of the empires (which countries controlled which lands and why...i.e. raw materials, geographically, etc.) surrounding WWI and politically which countries enforced which type of government.

*I included some links with various levels of information depending on your interests.

  1. Here is a link that concerns the French Empire. It is a picture that shows how its empire changed through 1550-2007. Kiana and I found it while we were researching.

  2. Here is an image of the German Empire (found by Lisa and I). On a world map you will be able to find where in the world it is and what Germany is trying to achieve. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wggerman/map/germanempire.htm
