January+11+11

Open your notes and your textbook section from yesterday ("The Road to War" and the 6.2 Origins of WWI). Which of the four underlying causes (or origins) do think made the most impact leading to war?
 * As the Bell Rings...**

Discuss the underlying causes. Emphasize that the proximate cause was the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.
 * What We Did In Class**

Download and open the [|6.2 Wilson's Speech to Congress.pages]. This was the speech that President Woodrow Wilson gave to Congress in response to the events pulling America into WWI. Read it silently and independently, but actively. You will read this twice:
 * the first time you read it, just read all the way through it (we'll break for short discussion here)
 * the second time, take notes in the margins, add comments with questions, and try to identify the reasons that Wilson lists to declare war
