Toward Los Angeles, California. 1936. Photograph. Library of Congress. Digital History. LCUSF34-016317-E. I'm using this picture on the home page to represent the Great
Depression, one of my key points as to why we shouldn't have joined the league.
Germany Annexes Czechoslovakia. Sept. 2007. Photograph. PBS. WETA, Washington, DC and
American Lives II Film Project, LLC. I am using this picture on the home page to show
how Germany disobeyed the rules that were supposed to be upheld by the League of
Nations, but were not.

<http://www.army.mil/article/90896/Military_Intelligence___this_week_in_history____
Nov_1921/>. I am using this image to show the Washington Naval Conference, and how
the U.S organized an agreement (the basic job of the league) without enrollment in the
league of nations.

events, Senate voting numbers, and basic background information about the Treaty of
Versailles and League of Nations.

Lange, Dorothea. Migrant Agricultural Worker's Family. Seven Hungry Children. Mother Aged
Thirty-two. Father Is Native Californian. Nipomo, California. Feb. 1936. Photograph.
American Memory. Library of Congress. LC-USF34- 009098. I am using this image on
my "pro" page to represent the Great Depression. American families couldn't even afford
food, not to mention a war. Also, the government couldn't afford to help them.
Declaration of War with Germany, 1941. 11 Dec. 1941. Photograph. National Archives. United
States Senate. I am using this image on my "pro" page. I am using it, again, to
demonstrate that we saved years by staying out of European business and entanglements.
Declaration of War with Japan, WWII. 8 Dec. 1941. Image. National Archives. United States
Senate. I am using this image on my "pro" page. It is an image of the U.S declaration of
war against Japan, which was declared in 1941. I am using this to show that we entered
the war much later on, and only after direct attack, so not joining did exactly what it was
supposed to: kept us out of European conflict until we were directly attacked.
Guns of Scrapped Battleships at Philadelphia Naval Yard, December 1923. Dec. 1923.
Photograph. U.S Naval Historical Center. San Francisco Maritime Museum, San
Francisco, California. NH 69035. I am using this image on my "pro" page to illustrate the
Washington Naval Conference and its success. It will be used to help argue the point that
the U.S organized a international arms limitation agreement without membership in the
League, and that we could act on our own two feet.

12, 1921). International Conference for Limitation of Armament. Washington D.C. 12
Nov. 1921. Internet Archive. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Dec. 2014.
<https://archive.org/details/WarrenG.HardingOpeningOfLimitationOfArmamentsConference>. I am using this audio clip on my "pro"
page to show how Warren G. Harding, the U.S president, was welcoming other nations to
a U.S organized peace conference. This shows that the U.S brokered peace without a the
League.
Kennedy, David M. "The Great Depression and World War II, 1929-1945." The Gilder Lehrman
Institute of American History. Gilder Lerhman Institute of American History, n.d. Web.
15 Dec. 2014. <http://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-by-era/essays/great-depressionand-world-war-ii-1929-1945>. I am using this website for my "pro" page, for my quote
by a historian supporting my case. The quote talks about the financial crater left by WWI,
and shows how after the war, the U.S broke down many war materials. It can be
concluded that the the U.S wasn't ready for the financial burden of another war in 1939.
"Timeline: Timeline of the Great Depression." American Experience. PBS, n.d. Web. 14 Dec.
2014. <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/timeline/rails-timeline/>. I
am using this website for my "pro" page. I am using various examples of government
spending on internal projects in the mid-1930's to demonstrate how attempts to resolve
the economic devastation of the Great Depression left little to no budget for war. Since
WWII began in the late 1930's, involvement in the league would have meant 1939
participation, when our economy was still recovering.
"The Washington Naval Conference, 1921-1922." Office of the Historian. U.S Department of
State, n.d. Web. 15 Dec. 2014. <https://history.state.gov/milestones/1921-1936/navalconference>. I am using this as a reference for my "pro" page. It contains information
about the Washington Naval Conference and how it transpired, which is valuable to my
claim that the U.S could organize peace without enrollment in a national committee.

Munich Agreement, Heads of State. 28 Sept. 1938. Photograph. German Federal Archives.
German General Intelligence Service. Bild 183-R69173. I am using this image on my
"con" page to show the Munich Conference, and how it was a major failure in the
League's main goal of maintaining peace. The whole League wasn't involved, and the
agreement basically gave Germany everything they had taken anyway.
Low, David. "Humble Pie." Cartoon. Evening Standard 21 Sept. 1938: 10. Print. I am using this
image on my "con" page to demonstrate the reaction to the invasion of Czechoslovakia
and the criticism of appeasement (and humbling).
Geisel, Theodor Suess. The Appeaser. 16 June 1941. Photograph. Dr. Suess Collection. UC San
Diego Lib., San Diego. I am using this image on my "con" page to demonstrate how
appeasement was really only prolonging the inevitable. Playing the violin for the monster
will only hold it off until the end of the song.
"Four-Power Peace Pact Signed." Los Angeles Times [Los Angeles, California] 30 Sept. 1938,
General News: 1-2. Print. I am using this newspaper article on my "con" page. I am
showing the Munich Conference agreement, and how the involved countries gave in to
Hitler's demands, and allowed him to take over a country's peace.
Schödl. Belgium / France, Heinkel He 111. Sept. 1940. Photograph. Digital Image Archive.
German Federal Archives. Bild 101I-343-0694-21. I am using this image on my "con"
page to show a German air force plane, a piece of Hitler's declaration to ignore the Treaty
of Versailles.
Lindsay, James M. "Lessons Learned: Hitler's Rearmament of Germany." Council on Foreign
Relations. Council on Foreign Relations, 13 Mar. 2012. Web. 15 Dec. 2014.
<http://www.cfr.org/germany/lessons-learned-hitlers-rearmament-germany/p27631>. I
am using information from this website for my "con" page. I am showing that Hitler
announced that Germany was rearming, and violating the Versailles Treaty. The League
did nothing to stop it, again proving its inability to execute. I am also getting my
historian's quote from this website page.
"September 30, 1938: Hitler Appeased at Munich." History. History Channel, n.d. Web. 15 Dec.
2014. <http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/hitler-appeased-at-munich>. I am
using this website for facts for my "con" page. I am using the facts about the Munich
Conference to prove that the League of Nations was not effective in controlling
Germany, and basically sacrificed Czechoslovakia in the name of peace (which didn't last
anyway).

Albrizio, Conrad A. The New Deal. 1934. Illustration. National Archives. Digital History. Digital
History ID 2454. I am using this image on my "conclusion" page to demonstrate the
money put into public works projects in an attempt to distribute money back into the
economy.
Dwight, Mabel. In the Crowd. 1931. Illustration. National Archives. Digital History. LCUSZC4-6582. I am using this image on my "conclusion" page to show the despair during
the Great Depression and, again, the funding of public works projects.
Labor Strikes: NYC. 1934. Photograph. National Archives. Digital History. NLR-PHOCO-A71134. I am using this image on my "conclusion" page to demonstrate the issues with
little pay during the Depression. The government and businesses were giving what they
could, but it just wasn't enough to help people.
Migrant Mother. 1936. Photograph. Library of Congress. Digital History. LC-USZ62-107705. I
am using this image on my "conclusion" page to support the claim that the Great
Depression really took a lot out of the U.S, and that we couldn't afford to spend money
anywhere but internally.
