Helpful Hints

•	The suffrage movement in Great Britain was quite violent at times. For more information, research The Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), formed in 1903 and led by Emmeline Pankhurst.
•	This subsection provides teachers with an opportunity to explore the role of women in world history. WWI brought great progress for women. Women took jobs left vacant by men who had gone off to fight the war. This gave women a new independence; in this time period, women gained the right to vote in some western democracies.
•	The Great Depression had a tremendous impact on the United States, but it was also a time of global economic collapse that brought serious repercussions in its wake.
•	A description of “The Long March” can be used to develop ideas on the techniques that Mao used to be successful in China. The following questions can be asked:
	Why did Mao go on "The Long March?" How did he deal with the people? Why? How was he treated? Why? How did "The Long March” enable him to mobilize the peasants? Explain.
•	Students should understand that the Treaty of Versailles did not resolve the issues that led to WWI. Rather it created discontents that led up to WWII.
•	Have students explore the various nationalist movements that became active between the wars, particularly Arabic and Zionist nationalism.
•	Have students review and discuss: Timeline for Women's Suffrage 1832 – Suffrage Reform Act - women expressly forbidden from voting PDF - Word
