World War 1 Game

Hey, Im Morgan R. from Mr. Sal’s first period 20th Century. I was part of the Germeny Empire.

Im the begining of the game, my group spent ourĀ economic points mostly on industry and colonies. We thought this was a good stratagey in for the start of the game because we would earn more economic points that way. Toward the middle we started putting our economic points towards Navy, to make our empire stronger. Overall I think our stratagey worked out.

Our group made a pretty large treaty. First, we joined with France to make our empire larger. Then the USA joined in and made our group the strongest in the world. We didnt break any treaties because in wouldnt have been to the benifet of my group. Breaking a treaty would have made the other group want to go to war with us.

I was extreamly pleased with my countries outcome. In theĀ begining we were struggling, but at the end of the game we came out on top. Our treaties and our stratagies made us the strongest in the class. This was mostly because we joined with other countries. If I had to do something differently, it would be joining with more groups. If we would have made treaties with a couple more countries, we would have been even stronger.

I have a better understanding of how diplomacy works in the world because of this game. It showed me how in reality when countries are weak, they make treaties to strengthen their countries. The game also showed how a World War could possibly break out and what would happen. I think this game was a good was of teaching us about diplomacy.

Immigration

Hey I’m Morgan from Mr. Sal’s 20th century period 1. Immigration was a big problem in the 1900’s and still is today. First of all it was causing a huge overflow of people in the US. This takes away jobs and space. Also there were many differant types of people which causes alot of fights. The government tried to fix this issue by creating green cards. It works because it limits the amount of people coming to the US. Although immigration is still a problem it is not as bad as it used to be.

Class expectations

Hey, I’m Morgan R. from Mr. Sal’s period 1 20th Century history class. Two things I would like to learn in technology is how to use the iPods better, and how to use wikispaces. I know that we will be using these in class and I would like to know what I’m doing more clearly. In history I would like to learn more about the holocaust and also I would like to learn more about the wars America has been involved. I want to learn these things because they are things I have always been interested in.
