Matt said...3/25

In class today, Mrs. Separ wasn't here so we had a substitute, ol' demby poo. Mrs. Separ gave us alot of work today. One piece of work was the packet she gave us with the 3 documents on it and we had to answer the questions that followed. One of the documents was the sinking of The U.S. Passenger ship The Lusitania. The Lusitania was sunk by one of the German U-Boats, this was after the Germans sent out a warning to the U.S. about official submarine warfare that they will be initiating. The document after was the actual document that warned the U.S. about the warfare. The last document was the Treaty of Brest- Litovsk. This treaty was a bunch of articles talking about why Russia surrendered the war early which was because of their economic issues and their internal rebellions. Sorry this is such a short blog but there wasn't much going on in class today. HW #2 is due tomorrow and the next blogger will be ol' Dylan Ratner

Actually, there was A LOT more to the documents then this blog explains. For example, the Luistiana WAS NOT a US ship it was a British ship. So why did the US care? Also, the second document described the Zimmerman telegram. Who was this from? Who was it to? Why did the US care? These are all important questions that should have been answered today and in this blog. Perhaps, some of you did not make use of class time but instead acted extremely childish...are you sure this is an AP class? Be prepared to discuss these questions tomorrow, via a quiz. Ms. Separ
