Homework/In Class Assignments for Mr. Davey's

Media Arts World History Class


Mr. Davey will slowly work to put his files on canvas. The course can be found here.


In the years immediately after the First World War, a promising new era of democracy seemed to be unfolding. The autocratic regimes in Russia, Germany and Austria, were all overthrown and replaced by republics. The seven newly-created states in Europe all adopted the republican form of government. Democracy seemed triumphant in the post-war world. Yet within two decades, many democratic countries in Europe were taken over by some kind of dictatorship. Russia became a Communist state. Italy and Germany became Fascist states. Only Czechoslovakia, France, and the UK remained democratic as an even greater war loomed.
