In this class, we will learn about the causes for World War 2, while playing the game Days of Decision. In this boardgame, the learners play the government of the major powers in 1936: USA, the Commonwealth, France, China, or the USSR, for example. As we play the game, the learners will make choose which policies their nations should choose, guiding them through the turbulent times, like the Spanish Civil War. The learners will have to think about: * The national economy - can they afford military spending? * International politics - will they try to sway minor countries to their side? Will they focus on trade or be more isolationist? * The Spanish Civil War - will they try to intervene? Maybe the democracies can help the Republic win against the Franco's Nationalists?

Parental Guidance
This class discusses political developments in international relations in the late 1930s. This involves discussing the actions of autocratic and totalitarian dictatorships in the world, including Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, the militaristic Japanese Empire and Communist USSR, as well as the behaviour of colonial powers like France and the United Kingdom.
Learners play the game by picking political actions from a set list for governments like France, the United Kingdom or the USA, drawn from the game Days of Decision. These actions involve foreign policy choices, for example, signing trade agreements, or mutual defense treaties with minor powers, increasing military spending, or getting involved in the Spanish Civil War. Other what-if scenarios include an early war between the USSR and Finland, or Italy and France, or early war between Japan and China, and many others. Learners will also have a chance to decide the outcome of the Spanish Civil War, to see its effect on international relations post-1938.
