4th Quarter Project

http://www.dipity.com/kaylaburton12/Korea-The-Cold-War/#list

I chose to do this assignment about Korea because I have heard many interesting things about Korea. I have heard about the Korea War, but I did not have many background knowledge about this specific war so I decide to further my research on it. I learned about the 38th parallel that North Korea's and South Korea's fought on and I also learned about the Korea Peninsula and I learned that North Korea controlled the whole Korean Peninsula, except for a small part around Pusan in the Southeast. 

Rewritten essay and why I chose it and what I learned


The League of Nations
The purpose of the League of Nations was to be an in international association whose goal was to keep peace among the nations that it supported. The League of Nations was an international peace organization. The enemy and the neutral nations were excluded. The League of Nations was made after adopting Wilson's 14th point about "genernal association of nations". This shows Wilson's hope for an organization that could peacefully negotiate solutions to world issues.

Germany and Russia were excluded from the League of Nations. Germany, The defeated nation lost a great amount of territory and had harsh restrictions placed on it's military operation. This act was Article 231, known as "war guilt clause". It put harsh responsiblity on Germany. As a result Germany had to pay money to the Allies.

Most of the Germany territories were taken away from them. Germany lost the war. So therefore, the Allies took the land of Germany. 



I choose this eassy to wite about beacuse I felt that the League of Nations had a great impact on many nations around the world. Due to Wilson's 14th point about "general association of nations", that brought many nations to adapt to the League of Nations. I have learned many things about the League of Nations. Before we did the chapter about the League of Nations, I did not know about them in the sense of social studies. I learned about Wilson's 14th point and I learned something valuable about each other countries and how they benefited and how they struggled through the League of Nations

Advice for myself for 10th grade


Some valuable advice I would give myself for my sophomore year is to remained focus on my work and to challenge myself in all my classes. For me to stay focus, I will need to leave all the distractions behind me and always keep in mind the real reason why I am here at STEM. I will challenge myself in all my classes by staying in the honor classess and doing my work to earn a better GPA than I earned in my 9th grade year.
