Manchurian crisis
The Manchurian crisis all started after the Wall Street crash, at the time Japan was more powerful they used this as a reason to invade Asia for more land. The south Manchurian railway was own the Japanese. On the 19th of September 1931 there was an explosion on the railway situated in Mukden. The explosion later became know as the Mukden incident. When the Japanese army looked at the explosion they decided to blame china, due to this the army used the explosion to take over Manchuria. China went to the league for help but they just turned them down and carried on with invasion this meant that Japan went on and took over Manchuria.
In October 1932 Japan pulled out of the league.
The Manchurian Crisis had a bad impact on the league as other countries and the population realised the league was unable to control anything this lead to the league getting the name as powerless.

how a ribbon lake is formed?
How a Ribbon lake is formed ?
Ribbon lakes are formed by a glacier moving 1-2 meters day, the glacier moves down the mountain until it reaches the bottom were it comes across the hard rock or other wise know as resistant rock. As the glacier moves along part of the rock becomes softer this means that the rock as less resistant. Were the rock is softer it Allows the glacier to dig part of the rock out into a dip this only happens until the rock hits the hard rock again. Because of the dip in the rock, you usually get cracks on the edge of the glacier unforchunaly this mean that it is open to freeze-thaw this happens when the cracks become full of rain from the day then freezes at night the water then expands by 10% coarsening the rock to loosen. While freeze-thaw is happening, the glacier is still moving but because there is loose rock the glacier can pluck the rocks out of the ground this is called ground moraine. As well plucking the rocks the glacier also uses abrasion the sand paper affect sand away the rock. As the glacier retreats back it reveilles a lake and in few 100 years, the glacier melts mean in g the water runs in the lake leaving us with some of the most stunning scenery in the Lake District. Some examples of a ribbon lake are Windermere Lake, Ullswater and Wast water.

wall street crash
In the diagram it is showing what happened with America after the wall street crash in 1929. Almost the same as what is happening in today.
The top left loop shows how if the prize of a product falls other countries become poorer which leads to USA gets less imports from other counties, which in the run stops other counties from selling their goods.
The right top loop describes how that if USA stops loans to other counties other counties cannot afford to buy American goods which in the long turn means the country becomes pooper.
The bottom loop explains that if the American companies go bust the unemployment raises in the USA, meaning that the US government has to introduce tariffs leading to other counties not been able to sell their goods to the USA. Consequently meaning that the prizes fall and other countries become poorer which leads to counties not been able to afford the to but the American goods. This means that USA is pooper because of the Wall Street crash.
The Wall Street crash put an end to the League of Nations because counties only wanted to solve there own problems not everyone else. Also the League of Nations couldn't lend out money to other counties.

Sustainable development
Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is when we use energy and resource in a way which doesn’t harm the environment, and will always keep us supplied with energy and other resources. To do this every person on the planet has to be a ‘Global citizen’.
There many things that we can do to become a Global citizen and so achieve sustainable development.
Some of these are Recycling, cycling and walking to work, using pubic transport, using different renewable energy source and also using more nuclear power.
Firstly I would like to start of by talking about recycling; it works by us ordinary people recycling things like glass, paper, grass cutting, tins and products. Each week around the country it all gets collected and either gets reused as another product or possibly turned into some thing else like a car or a train.
Recycling is a sustainable development because less energy is need in making these products than been made from a raw material. In the long run creates less green house gasses this means that it would stop the world from heating up quicker.
Secondly we need to get people using public transport more often than using there own transportation. For example using public transport, the bus can take up to 50 people instead of 50 cars so therefore it would save the oil reserves and reduce Co2 emission also could stop the congestion on the roads in the city centres. But if this is to be adopted we need to have a better public transport system, for example in Harlington we only have one bus an hour.
Another alternative to public transport is walking and cycling to school or work. This will cut down on the oil resources in the country leaving us with an extra few more years of non-renewable resource. Also because when using cars and any other transport are causes acid rain. This rain is dissolving limestone on churches and sculptures.
Further more we could use alternative power such as renewable like Solar and wind power.
Solar is more efficient as long as they are placed in a south facing house, it also helps if the solar panels are located in a sunny area such as America, France, Spain etc. You mainly see them on tops of large buildings or office blocks. They work by absorbing the sun light and changing the power of the sun into electricity. Wind turbines work in nearly the same way but the wind turns the turbines generating power or electricity..
Wind power is ideal if live in a windy area for example some parts of America, Britain. Britain has many wind turbines in places like Pennines, Huddersfield, Lake District, Wales we even have wind turbines off the coast of Skegness in the middle of the sea as there are not interfering with people’s lives. Wind and solar power are great examples of a Sustainable Development as they cost a lot of money to set up and get going but will pay for itself in time.
Both wind and solar power are perfect as they don’t give out any pollution which provides a clear environment for people to live in.
Another Sustainable development could be resources substitution this is instead of buying and wearing clothes that have been made out of man made products such as Acrylic, polyester or Nylon you could wear some thing different like cotton or wool and still look as nice and fashionable. Wearing products such as cotton and wool is sustainable as cotton is made from a plant which means it will probably never stop growing
Also wool is made from the coat of a sheep so unless the whole race of sheep stop breading you will always have the wool.

5 w's on the League of Nations
The League of Nations was founded as a reasult of the Treaty of Versailles. The league of nations was a international group which set out to settle any problems and to keep peace among the counties. It was set up because there were sometimes some things that the treaty of versailles could not sort out .
The league of nations was set up in 1919 to the 1920 by Woodrow willison president of the USA as a term of the treaty Versailles.
The league of Nation consisted of 42 members. They were set in place to ensure that there would been no more wars in the fucture. Two for the counties that was a member of the league of nations was Britain and USA but Germany wasnt allowed to join.
The only place were it could have been held was in Geneva, Switzerland as Switzerland was a neutral country and didn't fight in the war. Switzerland had international organisation such as the red cross.
due to the league of nations it helped prevent a war from happening between Greece and Bulgaria in 1925 however they didnt stop the war between Poland and Russia from 1920 to 192 also the didnt stop World war 2 happening.
The league of Nation was finaly ended a few years befor the start of would war 2 in 1939 but after it became know as United Nation (UN).
