Europe recap of class on 4/8/15

We looked at Europe and the idea that if you control Island Europe you control the world. This theory led to the punishment of Germany after WWI and the cutting up of the Axis countries into the Eastern European countries. This directly led to the rise of the German NAZI party and WWII. Later after WWII we will split this area up again and it will turn into the communist block countries under the influence of Russia. This idea of Russia controlling Europe and than the world led to the Cold War and decades of tensions around the world. We now know this is a crap theory but think of how different the world would have been if we looked at it another way!
