Textbook Organization

While I don't think that the organization of the chapter is completely nonsensical, I do believe that it would have made more sense to me to put more of it into chronological order. I like how it starts out by dividing into the major countries that participated in World War II and then explains how these important leaders rose to power and the different policies of each countries. This provides a clear background as to what exactly was happening in each country at the time, and because these events were not directly linked, it makes more sense to divide them by country rather than chronological order. But although the textbook starts off in a way that provides a strong basis for understanding the events that followed, I do not like how they start mentioning events like the Kristallnacht in the middle of this background section. It makes sense to talk about Nazi views on race, but it does not make sense to randomly include this specific event.
The textbook then mentions the lead up to World War II and divides it into events that occurred in Asia and events that occurred in Europe. Up to 1939, I think that it is fine to divide up the events that occurred in each of these regions, since they still were fairly independent of each other and thus can be compared side by side. But as soon as they both start trying to find a way to deal with the Soviet Union, it no longer makes sense to split them up, because they have the same goals. The Holocaust is also completely left out until the end, while I think it would make more sense in the section about the build-up to the war, since that is the time when it started.
Right after this, it goes into World War II, and Europe and Asia are still split up. This starts to become very confusing because many of the events become linked with each other and end up overlapping in various sections. The whole section on World War II should be in chronological order. So, I like the main sections the textbook is divided into, but within these sections, the information would be more easily understood if it was organized chronologically.
My title for this chapter would be "New Leaders, New World Orders, and a New World War"
