World War II Package This period describes the causes of the Second World War, by building upon your understanding of the influence of the Great Depression on the growth of totalitarian regimes, as well as the characteristics of totalitarian and democratic systems. You will follow the war from the Appeasement Crisis at Munich to its conclusion in Tokyo Harbour, and examine how a number of major developments of this period had a lasting impact on events for the remainder of the century. Most importantly you will examine how Canadians contributed to these events and how it has shaped our identity today. Key Point Notes Allies 1.) Franklin D. Roosevelt - U.S.A. 2.)
