1. Does everyone agree on when nationalism becomes Ultranationalism? Why or why not?
No, people may agree that Ultranationalism includes elements of racism and fanaticism
and that it can lead to conflicts, but they do not always draw the line between nationalism
and Ultranationalism in the same place.
2. What is propaganda?
Propaganda refers to information and ideas that are spread to achieve a specific goal. That
information and ideas are often misleading and dishonest. Extreme nationalists use
propaganda to manipulate strong human emotions – especially fear and insecurity – and
persuade people to behave in certain ways.
3. Who used appeasement before WWII, and who did they attempt to appease? Did it work?
The British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Edouard Daladier,
and Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini met Hitler to discuss Germany’s recent

but the Treaty of Versailles had awarded it to Czechoslovakia. In return for Hitler’s promise
not to expand further, Chamberlain, Daladier, and Mussolini agreed to allow the takeover
to go unchallenged. In Britain, Chamberlain explained that “the peoples of the British
empire were at one with those of Germany, of the France, and of Italy” in “there anxiety,
very intense desire for peace.” In the end, the appeasement failed.
