Homework 4

Chapter 1
A

1. Almost 200 people were either wounded or killed on the first day of World War II. Streets were lined with German soldiers. The invasion into their country ruined a stable, safe, and secure place in which they lived.
2. a) They were anonymous because the original authors clearly didn't want their names known when speaking out against the invasion. They were afraid of what would happen to them if German soldiers found the sources with their names. It gains a limitation because we do not know anything about the authors.
   b) Source D provides the visual that Sources A and C describe.
   c) They were published probably as propoganda to support the war.
   d) I think it's biased because its all about the German invasion from Polish people who were being invaded. 

B

1. Nothing in those sources promote anything 'humane.' Everything in them are cruel.
2. They killed women and children and burned down houses and buildings without warning. People were killed at random.
3. They don't prove anything because they fail to provide any facts. The only thing that could be taken as fact is the picture, which only shows burned buildings. Burned buildings do not mean they were inhumane, as that could be expected from war.

C

1. I DONT KNOW
2. The men and women were forced to wear gas masks due to fear of consuming gas from enemy bombs.
3. Because no fighting took palce between Britain, France and Germany in the first 9 months of the war.
4. They shouldnt.

Chapter 2
A

1. "Blood, oil, toil, tears, and sweat." The alternative would be peace without fighting, which wasn't possible by this point.
2. It promotes the sense of nationalism in the country. "Victory" is what they want. They want to remain free from the fighting, and are going to get it by whatever means.
