What's up, Historians-in-Training?
Our Chapter Six test took up all of class today, and so your homework tonight is to get started reading Chapter Seven from page 211 to 216. There are no review questions assigned, although I do suggest you give them a quick once-over, just to refresh your mind on the main points of your reading section :) If you feel like you haven't done very well on our Chapter test today, you've got Chapter Seven to make up for it - do your best!
Did You Know... the eagle logo used for the fashion company BOY London looks suspiciously identical to the logo most famously used by Hitler and the Nazi's symbolizing the Third Reich during WWII, minus the swastika. Creepy.
That is an interesting fact as I used to own a Boy London watch.
ReplyDeleteHere's another!
The approved budget for UN Peacekeeping operations this year is about $7.83 billion... which is less than half of ONE per cent of world military expenditures (estimated at $1,747 billion in 2013).
And one more cuz I think the UN.org website is kinda cool:
As we know, each member of the UN has to fund the peacekeeping missions based on a percentage of various variables, but rounding out the top three contributors are:
United States (28.38%)
Japan (10.83%)
France (7.22%)
Which kind of answers our question: Yes, France should be in the 'Big 5'.
I knew you'd like that fact :) the budget one is pretty depressing, I must admit...
