The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW1)

The treaty of Versailles affected Germany blow after blow after blow. The reason I say this is because after Germany had lost the war, they had also lost 100% of her pre-war colonies, 80% of her pre-war fleet, 48% of all iron production, 16% of all coal production, 13% of her territory, and the most terrifying, Germany after all of the destruction had lost 12% of her population. This by the way is much to lose in just one World War. Also, from the articles I have read, I have learned that Germany had many of their privileges such as they couldn't maintain or construct any fortifications from the line drawn 50 kilometers to the east or west of the Rhine.

Mustafa Kemal (Ataturk) and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal (aka Ataturk) modernized Turkey and made it more secular by abolishing the fez. The fez is hat worn by turkish people to express themself's. Another way Mustafa Kemal modernized Turkey was that he changed the style of the people and the way they dressed. One more useful way Kemal modernized Turkey was by getting the turkish people to adapt to a new language. In other words, the people had to learn how to read, write, and speak the new language. Also, secular means pertaining to worldly things that are not reguarded as religious, spiritual, or sacred in some sort.

Film Lesson "Gandhi"

I have learned much from seeing the movie "Gandhi". One of the main things I have learned was that you don't have to solve all your problems using violence. The tatic that I liked best was the effect of Gandhi's civil disobidence. I respect that tatic because Gandhi still won the war between India and Great Britain without reacting or even thinking about using physical force. I actually loved the quote "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" because this explains that attacking someone after they attack you solves or accomplishes nothing. You can also still overcome conflict by being respectful about it. Even though the physical pain was terrifying, he still managed to get back up on his own to feet and accomplish his goal or objective. By the way, which was to gain independence for India. What India mostly wanted was freedom from the control of Great Britain. In various ways, India has gained independence from Gandhi. I would also say that the indians has also played a big part in this as well. Although Gandhi influenced most of the Hindu, Muslim, and Seeks to work together in various situations, they all have managed to play a huge role overall. So overall, I would say no because with the people, that would of probably be a attempt for Gandhi. India's Independence probably would of happened without the helpful actions of Gandhi. Indian Independence was gained during 1947. Also the separation of all of the religions was the main event that was happening during 1947. So even after all of the events happening, there is still much be learned from Mahatma or Mahatmis Gandhi.
