U.S. History: Apr. 29-May 3

This week we will complete our investigation of FDR’s attempts to end the depression under his New Deal

programs, and then we will begin our discussion of the causes of WWII in Europe through the rise of dictators, a worldwide depression, and a shift in political ideologies. We will look at how the United States, still dealing with the Great Depression, tried to remain neutral in another European conflict. We will then look at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the event that brought the United States into WWII.
