Years of Crisis Timeline: Emily Angstadt Pd 9

  • Treaty of Versallies Signed

  • The First Meeting of the League of Nations

    The First Meeting of the League of Nations
    The assembly of the League of Nations meets for the first time in Geneva, Switzerland. The U.S. is notably absent the Senate having voted against joining the League of Nations. This historical event was important because this provided a forum for resolving international disputes.
  • Washington Conference

    Washington Conference
    The Washington Conference resulted in a naval armaments treaty that had set a ratio for the tonnage of capital ships. The Washington Conference was attended by Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, China, Japan, and Portugal. I think this historical event was important because this preserved peace during the 1920's and it established the rising of the Japanese Empire.
  • The German Chamber of Deputies Accepts the Dawes Plan

    The German Chamber of Deputies Accepts the Dawes Plan
    The Dawes plan restructures the schedule of German reparation payments so as to reduce the amount of annual payments, and grant a large loan. I think this historical event is important because this softened the burdens of war reparations.
  • The Samuel Commission in England Releases It's Report on Coal Mining

  • The Spanish Monarchy is overthrown

  • The German Reichstag passes the enabling act

    The German Reichstag passes the enabling act
    The Enabling act gave Hitler the power to issue decrees with the status of law. I think this event is historically significant because this gave Hitler the authority to pass laws without the consent of the Reichstag.
  • The Spanish Nationalists began the Spanish Civil War

    The Spanish Nationalists began the Spanish Civil War
    Generals Goded, Mola, and Francisco lead troops in Rebellion against the republic. I think this event is historically important because this is when new weapons and technology were created and had to be tested for use.
  • Spanish nationalists bombed Guernia

  • The Munich Pact is signed

    The Munich Pact is signed
    Britain and France appeased Hitler by signing the Munich pact, which grants Hitler control of the Czech Sudetenland. I think this historical event was important because this is to help avoid war between the powers of Europe.
  • German invasion of Poland
