QUIZ STUDY GUIDE

RUSHers!

We're going to have a very short QUIZ on Friday. The QUIZ will cover Chapter 24, Section 1 and 2. If you watched the video last night, and you've done the HW assignments related to the two sections of the chapter, I'm pretty confident you'll do great!

The quiz will consist of 12 matching questions, and 8 multiple choice questions. All of the MC questions came right off of regentsprep.org.

Excellent Study Lecture!

Here's what you need to know.

Which nation won the Battle of Britain.
Which British prime minister signed the Munich Pact.
After the fall of France, he set up a government in exile in Britain.
What led Hitler to call off the invasion of Britain indefinitely.
What was the German strategy of "lightning war" called? What country was Germany's first target?
What Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to.
Which nation ceased to exist after it was divided between Germany and the Soviet Union.
What country invaded Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
Britain and France's policy toward German aggression.
Who said “Britain and France had to choose between war and dishonor. They chose dishonor. They will have war.”
The terms of surrender forced on this nation included German occu- pation of the northern part of the country and the establishment of a Nazi-controlled puppet government in the southern part.

The Multiple Choice will deal with questions relating to the start of the war, and America's initial reaction to the war.
