D Block Social Studies 11 - Today with Ms. Curry...we'll talk about how countries deal with stress - what do they do? What do the people do? Who might the people turn to for hope? We'll talk about the rise of dictatorships, totalitarian and fascist governments, and we'll also take a look at some powerful leaders in the 1930s.

You'll have a question on desertification and there are some good websites to help here:
