===**Honors**: Debate the handling of Hitler and the Nazi's. Use the documents and the facts that you have during that time period to support your argument. The easy answer is to crush Hitler because we know the result, but it was not the right answer at that time. Can you change history? Can you convince us to send troops to stop Hitler now? Or will your argument for peace be so strong that we cheer for you the way the crowds cheered on Chamberlain....you decide!!!===
