The Treaty of Versailles
Many historians have blamed the failure of the Treaty of Versailles for the start of WWII. Research at least two historical opinions on the Treaty of Versailles and state your opinion on why the treaty was either a failure or a success, make sure you back up your opinion with details. Due February 17th.
Upton Sinclair and the Jungle
Upton Sinclair's novel "the Jungle" was a muckraking novel that highlighted the poor working and conditions for workers in Chicago's meatpacking industry. His novel led to the passage of Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act, which established the Food and Drug Administration of the federal government. Sinclair's novel was intended to be a socialist novel, he wanted to highlight the problems of urban life and influence the working class to rise up and seek a better solution. Why do you think that the message of socialism never truly caught on with the American people? What obstacles did the working class face? Do you agree with the socialist message? Why or why not? Responses due by February 17th.
