The League of Nations Cartoon Activity

For this activity, we had to create our own document and #1.) Describe the actual historical context that the cartoon is attempting to express and #2.) Analyze the bias of the cartoon. Is it Pro-? Anti-? We had about 9 different cartoons that would help us prepare for the Chapter 1-7 Test. Overall, I thought that this activity was very helpful because we got a sense of how the rest of the test would be. Here is a couple of the sentences that I wrote for some cartoons (did not want to include everything because it was too long):

1st CARTOON - Interrupting the Ceremony:

#1.) The U.S. Senate is attempting to interrupt Uncle Sam and his soon to be wife from marrying to the League of Nations because that would mean that America would go to war and suffer lots of consequences. They've already gotten rid of Peace Proceedings but the U.S. Senate wants to bring in Constitutional Rights.

#2.) It is PRO- WILSON because weddings are viewed as peaceful proceedings all the time but in this case the Senate does not want Uncle Sam to get into something that he will later regret. 
2nd CARTOON - UNKNOWN:

#1.) The League of Nations is almost forcing America to join the League of Nations but Uncle Sam does NOT want America to join because of the consequences that might occur as an after result. Uncle Sam seems to be tied up which gives England, Empire of Japan, Foreign Nations, and European Nations power and it also gives them the opportunity to manipulate him.

#2.) ANTI- WILSON because they are opposed to the League of Nations. 
3rd CARTOON - UNKNOWN:

#1.) War is inevitable because the League of Nations cannot contain it in its cage. The lady’s arm looks like just bone but nothing else and “the beast” will eventually escape.

#2.) ANTI- WILSON because the League of Nations is really weak and cannot find a permanent solution to prevent WAR. 
4th CARTOON - UNKNOWN:

#1.) The League of Nations has a metal restrainment that does not allow the dog to bark or bite at anyone or anything. Maybe the dog needs a leash which perhaps can be America to make it STRONGER.

#2.) PRO- WILSON because the League of Nations is better then nothing but at the same time, it’s still a PROBLEM.
