Trench Warfare & Armenian Genocide (3-5-15)

We watched the last half of "Gallipoli" (1981) about Australian soldiers in WWI.  It was an absolute disaster for them - and basically any common soldier - especially from the working or poor classes.  The outright slaughter of young men was disgusting.  War is stupid.

I also addressed the Armenian Genocide, something the German Nazis cited when planning on what to do with undesirables in Europe - primarily Jews, Romani (Gypsies - not a PC term), homosexuals, Slavs, handicapped (mentally or physically), and even political opponents.  Genocide.

Tomorrow's Exam 3.2 will be more difficult than Exam 3.1, but you are certainly able to do well if you have been paying attention in class, organizing your readings & notes, and actually studying.
