The two decades between the World Wars were ones of economic, social, and political upheaval and turmoil all over the world.  Anticolonial movements were sweeping through many regions that had long been far flung parts of European empires. New ideas in science, technology, and popular culture were calling into question much about traditional society. A worldwide Great Depression seemed to threaten the economic viability of some of the worlds most prosperous and powerful nations.

Although different regions of the world were impacted differently by the end of World War I and the changes taking place in its aftermath, all regions were affected. This week, we read about developments around the world during the 1920s and 1930s. For this week’s Assignment, you will look at one of four world regions and analyze how the interwar decades impacted the countries and peoples of that region.
