  7. Think-Pair-Share • How and why did Japan move to expand in the 1930s? • How is Japan in the 1930s similar to Germany in the 1930s?

  8. Discussion Questions • 1. How were the Chinese treated by the Japanese during the 1937 Nanking Massacre and the Sino-Japanese War? • 2. What should the consequences be for such atrocities? Should the U.S .have done anything about these actions? Why or why not?
