  1. Bell Ringer Militarism- stockpiled weapons Alliances- pulled additional nations into the war Imperialism- pursuits for land caused tension Nationalism- pride spurred on war Who was Pol Pot and why is he considered one of “the most evil men in history”? What are the four MAIN causes of WWI? Explain each. He was the leader of Cambodia. He instituted a communist regime and emptied the cities, cut off foreign relations and persecuted the educated. He called it Year Zero Why did the United States avoid involvement in WWI and WWII? What was the goal of the League of Nations after WWI? To use Collective Security, and diplomacy to avoid war for the common good The US considered it “their” war and decided to cash in by selling supplies.

  2. Geography Relationship between people, places, and environments over time

  3. Geography Theme: Relationship between people, places, and environments over time Geography includes how we have altered the environment to match our needs *Dams to slow water and prevent floods *Canals to transport goods quickly *Irrigation ditches to water plants *Terrace farming in the mountains

  4. Geography Theme: Relationship between people, places, and environments over time Geography also includes how the environment affects humans Can you think of a way our environment affects us in Northern NY?

  5. River Valleys Many civilizations begin in river valleys because they provide a water source, a food source, flooding provides silt and rivers are beneficial for trade. These river valleys develop irrigation systems Nile: Egypt Tigris and Euphrates: Mesopotamia (Babylon and Sumer) Indus: India Huang He (Yellow River): China TB 1:56

  6. Mountains Mountains often cause Isolation (China and the Himalayan Mountains) Italy is protected by the Alps mountains Mountains can also cause difficulties growing food, so terrace farming helps: -China -Incas -Midwest America

  7. Peninsulas Land surrounded by three sides of water. They are great for trade and protection. Famous Peninsulas: -Italy -Arabian -Iberian (Spain) -Korea -India

  8. Plains Sometimes called Savannahs or Steppes, plains are large and flat grassy areas. These are excellent for nomadic herding groups but lack protection.

  9. Deserts Arid, dry climate with little rain and little vegetation. The Sahara desert affects most of North Africa and is growing

  10. Terms Isthmus- a narrow strip of land between water Strait- a narrow strip of water Archipelago-a chain of islands Ring of Fire –area with many volcanoes, earthquakes and other disasters.

  11. Human impacts Throughout history many civilizations have adapted to their environment and geographic challenges. These include: -canals and dams -Irrigation -terrace farming -roads -Desertification

  12. Irrigation Process of getting water to the crops. Often includes digging ditches or building machines like water wheels. -Egypt’s Shadufs were used to bring water from the Nile river into canal like irrigation systems. This was vitally important because Egypt is located in the Sahara desert and only the Nile is a source of water

  13. Canals and Dams Canals are man made waterways linking two bodies of water. Dams are manmade structures to hold water, often used to generate electricity. Famous Canals: Suez Canal (near Egypt) Grand Canal in China Dams: Aswan Dam in Egypt allows them to irrigate thousands more acres a year

  14. Terrace farming Growing crops in mountainous terrain is difficult because excessive rain can lead to land slides. Terrace farming allows mountain dwellers to grow ample food: -Incas -Chinese

  15. Roads As empires grew they needed the ability to quickly move information, goods and the military. To satisfy these needs many empires built primitive road systems, but the Romans, Chinese and Incas built extensive road systems. “…all roads lead to Rome..”

  16. Deforestation/desertification The expansion of the desert due to lack of vegetation and water. The Sahara is expanding an average of 50 feet a year. It began when the Bantu were practicing Slash and Burn Agriculture but the problem persists today.
