BEFORE YOU WATCH: Internationalism Between the Wars

Use the "Three Close Reads" approach as you watch the video below.

Before you watch

Before you watch the video, it’s a good idea to open and skim the video transcript. And always read the questions below so you know what to look and listen for as you watch.

While you watch

What was the Kellogg-Briand Pact?
What were some attempts at internationalism during the 1920s?
What are some examples of internationalism before the twentieth century?
Why did the League of Nations fail?
What does this video suggest is the legacy of the Kellogg-Briand Pact?

After you watch

While the focus of this video is on international cooperation, how does it help to explain the causes of global conflict?
How does the failure of internationalism provide evidence to understand the causes of the Second World War?
Can you think of any current examples of internationalism succeeding or failing?

Now that you know what to look for, it’s time to watch. Remember to return to these questions once you’ve finished watching.
