World War II thru the Aftermath in Europe World War II It can be hard to believe that only twenty years after the horrors and devastation of World War I, and the lessons learned from it, the world went to war again.&nbsp; Did the terms of the Treaty of Versailles indeed provoke this, or is there more to the story?&nbsp; What was the appeasement policy of the 1930’s? An examination of these events as well as the stages, operations, and theaters of the war will help us understand how the very alliance that secured victory over the Axis powers evolved into the deadly arms race and threats of the ensuing Cold War.&nbsp; Instructor: Nancy Maxwell (scroll down for bio). 2 Sessions $41 (Ridgefield Seniors and Disabled pay $35) Fri., 5/8 and 15 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. on Zoom. The Aftermath of World War II Discussion topics include the Divided Germany, Soviet seizure of territories, and the Iron Curtain.

Nancy Maxwell - Instructor Bio: As a student at Cornell, Ms. Maxwell was encouraged to major in Psychology, but her interest in the humanities was always paramount, and her reading of History has taken pride of place.

As a teacher and counselor in an international school in Switzerland for more than twenty years, she had the opportunity to familiarize herself with the palaces and cathedrals of European cities, to savor the extraordinary wealth of artistic treasure that they contain, and to walk in the very footsteps of historical figures.
