Reconstruction was the time after the Civil war from 1865-1877. Both the North and the South were to blame for the end of Reconstruction but more so the South. The North gave up on the South and the South refused to make changes. The South is more to blame because they made it impossible for the nation to move forward.

use the info below as a template. write about the great depression and say that it is also linked to ww2 in this way.
the great depression is ..... it caused.....(this could have been prevented by....) this is also liked to ww2 by...
do that for 4 options below for a high grade
Unemployment
<span>Mass
unemployment (eg Germany) and poverty (eg Japan silk workers) caused
great anger = people put in power/accept right-wing, dictatorial
governments who told them their country was superior and it was OK for
them to take what they wanted by force.
It was the kind of thing they wanted to hear in the
circumstances. 25
countries became dictatorships 1929-39.</span>
</span><span>
America
<span>America
called in her loans to
Germany
. This caused the
collapse of
Germany
industry = led directly to Hitler’s rise to power.</span>
</span><span>
Politics
Many
leaders know that, when things get bad at home, one way to stay in
power is to turn people’s attention to foreign affairs/ direct
people’s hatred against other countries/ to have a few successes in
foreign policy = more aggressive, nationalistic foreign policy.
</span><span>
Empire-building
<span>In
the atmosphere of cut-throat economic trade, the answer of countries
like
Japan
&
Italy
was to build an empire – this would secure their supplies of raw
materials and natural resources.
Countries like
Japan
(
Manchuria
),
Italy
(
Abyssinia
) and
Germany
(eastern Europe), therefore, set about building an empire =
international conflict and tension.</span>
</span><span>
Self
Interest
<span>Countries
who were prepared to be philanthropic during the 1920s, could not
afford to give way during the 1930s = countries left the League
instead (eg Japan over
Manchuria
). Self-interest
destroyed the international co-operation ideal of
League of Nations
.</span>
</span><span>
<span>Britain
and
France
</span>
<span>were
suffering too – that was one reason why they did not send an army to
Manchuria
or impose sanctions on
Italy
over
Abyssinia
(could not afford). Again,
that was a reason they did not begin to rearm against Hitler in the
1930s = appeasement/ failure of
League of Nations
.</span></span></span>
