...Europe in Turmoil: Foreign Influences on Tenth Century Europe The Viking and Hungarian invasions across the European continent during the Ninth and Tenth centuries left a dramatic impact upon the continent. These two separate cultures would rampage across large swaths of Europe, bringing with them a wave of terror and fear. Their actions are now things of legend, but their military triumphs exist within the historical sphere as well. The purpose of this paper is three-fold: first, we will examine why these invasions were so damaging to Europe, second we will determine which one was ultimately more destructive, and third we will discuss how these invasions effected Christianity and spiritualism across the European continent. The Vikings hailed from the modern day Scandinavian countries of northern Europe, and their tireless efforts to pursue land and wealth by sea and land would take them on journeys from the Newfoundland coast to almost every major area of the European continent. Although the Viking presence in the British Isles is well documented, perhaps their ferocity and influence can best be seen with their encounters with the Franks. The Franks, who inhabit modern day France, would defend against almost constant Viking attacks by sea and land through most of the ninth century. An example of Viking influence in France still remains today. The Viking leader Rollo was made an offer by the Frankish King in 896; if he converted to Christianity and protected the...

....” It is not the first time when Rubenstein encounters such opinion; he met other German clergymen who shared the same opinion and admits that the tendency to believe that God has had a unique relationship with the Jews exists also among the Jewish people. According to that, Rubenstein then states that “the idea that the Nazi slaughter of the Jews was somehow God’s will, that God really wanted the Jewish People to be exterminated.” Rubenstein’s belief in the evil of the Holocaust is opposed by the Dean’s idea of God’s absolute power over human lives and his just intentions. He says, “When God desires my death, I give it to him…For some reason, it was part of God’s plan that the Jews died. God demands our death daily. He is the Lord, He is the Master, all is in His keeping and ordering.” However, the Dean’s “total obedience to his Heavenly Master” and admittance that Hitler is God’s instrument did not stop him to acknowledge that “what Hitler had done was immortal…Hitler’s followers were now being punished by God.” God punished the Jews using Hitler and German people as his tools, but he also punished Hitler’s followers even more. The Dean explains it by attributing the German defeat and the fall of Berlin to God’s way to punish German’s for their sins against the Jews. He also compares the events of the past and God’s punishment. For instance, in 1938 German people “smashed the synagogues” and deprived the Jews of their possession, but seven years later German churches were...

The people, history and architecture is very unique with churches, local shops and restaurants. They have a plethora of absorbing history. “But if you go to Moscow to Budapest, you will think you are in Paris,” according to Gyorgy Ligeti, a Romanian composer of classical music. (Brain Quotes) Budapest’s climate is the Humid Continental. The summers are from April to August and are sweltering. The winters are from November to early March and are a bit nipping.

...The film Father, directed by István Szabó, is a coming of age story in which a young boy copes with the death of his father in the aftermath of World War II and the Hungarian Revolution. The boy has difficulty distinguishing between what is reality and what is fantasy as he works to piece together the truth about his physician father, frequently questioning if he truly was a Communist hero. A powerful issue that resonates throughout the film questions how humanity can memorialize the Holocaust without making the event seem trivial. A powerful scene occurs when the protagonist and other actors reenact the Jewish march toward concentration camps. What is supposed to be a very solemn, devastating and emotional event is turned into a mockery when the actors are seen laughing and fighting over gold stars. The protagonist and his young comrades did not seem to understand the gravity of the situation until he was given the role of a prison guard. It was in that moment when he realized how the thirst for power crowded the minds of the Nazis, and this power placed enough fear in the innocent Jews to control their every move. As a result of the devastation of the Holocaust, some people tried unsuccessfully to extricate themselves from their Jewish heritage due to embarrassment from defeat and fear of the persecutions they could face in the future. After a revelation and confession of sorts, the protagonist’s girlfriend finally opens up about her past and her parents who were victims in...

...The Holocaust was a tragic time for the Jewish community, and before this class I never truly realized how much each individual went through or what they had to do to survive. The entire period was filled with struggle and suffering and strength for the willpower to survive. Jewish men, women, and children were treated poorly, experimented on, stripped of their clothes and identity, and more. I heard stories like these from real people in the films, The Last Days directed by James Moll (1998), Shoah directed by Claude Lanzmann (1985), and Europa, Europa directed by Agnieszka Holland (1991). Each film was structured to tell stories from survivors of the Holocaust, but the film that taught me and spoke to me the most was The Last Days. This film showed the horrors of life in concentration camps, but it also emphases the will to survive and optimistic mindset each had in order to do so. The Last Days stands out from the others because it was a film that really personalized each individual. During the entire film, it focused on the lives of five Hungarian Jews and their journey to freedom. Although Europa, Europa and Shoah had emphasis on the strenuous journey to survive the Holocaust, neither of these films went deep into each life to show the range of stories and pain people had to go through. By having multiple people and making them unique individuals, The Last Days succeeded in showing the audience that the Holocaust did in fact reach an entire population full of different...

... Raoul Wallenberg Raoul Wallenberg was a rescuer during the Holocaust and has saved over 100,000 Jews. However Wallenberg wasn’t just a rescuer he was also a Swedish diplomat, businessman, and architect. His life consist of helping others and trying to do the right thing. Wallenbergs life had always been different from the average person from his early life to his mystery of a death but his legacy will live on (“Raoul Wallenberg”). The early life of Raoul Wallenberg has been different. He has never liked violence and would avoid it at all cost. Wallenberg does not like killing so much that one day as a kid he snuck out of his house in the middle of the night to let out his neighbors hunting dogs so they would not be able to hunt in the morning. His father died before he was even born so he was raised by his grandmother and mother. His mother wanted him to become a banker but he went on his own path and came to America to become an Architect. He went to college to at The University of Michigan. The college did him no good because he couldn’t get a job as an architect in Sweden. Whenever Wallenberg returned to Sweden his grandfather sent him to a construction job in Palestine, South Africa. He stayed in Palestine for 6 months where he met many Jews who escaped Germany. Wallenberg claims that all their stories has moved him and is one of the contributing factors of why he went to Budapest. The fact that Wallenberg would go out of his...

...Holocaust Life during the Holocaust The Holocaust was a horrible event and had many tragedies and losses of family and friends. This event starts in 1933 where Hitler rises to power, and ends in 1945 where Hitler is defeated and the holocaust has ended. There are many topics about the holocaust that people would want to know, but this topic is a crucial and important one. The topic is Life during the Holocaust where we learn about how Jewish people live during the holocaust and what happened to them in the concentration camps. A very shocking moment in people’s life is when they are kids and they live during the holocaust. Children in the holocaust were beaten, tortured and killed in either a concentration camp or death camp. If they did survive they would have died of hard labor, starvation or diseases that were spread in camps. A total of one and a half million Jewish children were killed during the holocaust. During the holocaust children had to wear patches in the shape of a yellow star which is known as the Star of David. One comment from a Jewish child during the holocaust in Belgium named Beatrice Muchman defined it as when “…Having to wear the yellow star was a moment when deep fear and misery finally took hold” (www.ushmm.org). The holocaust striped children of all their memories and dreams in the future. The Jewish children couldn’t go to school because of the laws that were created for instance on law from the holocaust was Children with either mixed Jewish blood...

...International Markets Bureau Market Indicator Report PDF Version (350KB) | Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader Inside This Issue Executive Summary Global Trade Position Demographics Consumption and Expenditure Emerging Trends Conclusion Key Resources Executive Summary With a population of 9.9 million, Hungary is a small but open market that is highly engaged in international trade. Strategically located at the heart of the Central European region, Hungary joined the European Union (E.U.) in 2004. While the 2008 economic downturn negatively affected Hungary's economy, exports helped the country recover in 2010 and 2011. Although not part of the euro zone, Hungary is nevertheless affected by the economic challenges in the region, and began negotiations with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a financial assistance package in July 2012 (Economic Intelligence Unit [EIU], 2012a). In 2011, agri-food and seafood trade between Canada and Hungary totalled over C$16.2 million. In the same year, Canadian exports to Hungary amounted to C$5.8 million, up from C$4.7 million in 2010, while imports from Hungary amounted to C$10.4 million (Statistics Canada, 2012). Hungarian consumers have developed a strong penchant for high-quality and convenience-oriented food products in recent years, a result of the country's increasing urban/suburban population and corresponding busier lifestyles. This has fuelled demand for fast food, frozen and...

...Courtney Houston October 11, 2015 World Music The Importance of Bela Bartok On March 25, 1881 the world of music was forever changed, as Bela Bartok had now entered the world. Born in Hungary, Bela grew up studying piano. At the young age of nine, he began composing dance music. He finally commenced showing his work to the public at age eleven. He continued to study piano at the Royal Hungarian Academy of Music. Upon completion of his studies, Bela along with composer Zolan Kodaly recognized a style of music they had never seen before, Hungarian folk music. This is where Bela’s significant importance in music begins. The pivotal point of Bela’s career was when he heard the Dosa’s song. The song moved him so much that he wrote it down. This became the inspiration he needed and he began to “collect the finest examples of Hungarian folk music and raise them to the level of works of art” (Alves). He was able to truly define the folk music of Magyar as its own rather than gypsy music, as it was formerly classified. His research did not stop with Hungarian music. Bela continued to study folk music of many different cultures including Romanian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Croatian and more. In turn, Bela Bartoks’ work as a composer began to become infused with the style of pheasant Hungarian folk music by including thematic, harmonic and rhythmic nuances. During and after the First World War, Bela’s composing began to shine. Not only did he compose two ballets and an opera, he...

...Budapest /ˈbuːdəpɛst/[1] (Hungarian: [ˈbudɒpɛʃt] ( listen); names in other languages) is the capital and the largest city of Hungary,[2] and one of the largest cities in the European Union. It is the country's principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation centre,[3] sometimes described as the primate city of Hungary.[4] In 2011, according to the census, Budapest had 1.74 million inhabitants,[5] down from its 1989 peak of 2.1 million[6] due to suburbanization.[7] The Budapest Commuter Area is home to 3.3 million people.[8][9] The city covers an area of 525 square kilometres (202.7 sq mi)[10] within the city limits. Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with a unification on 17 November 1873 of west-bank Buda and Óbuda with east-bank Pest.[10][11] The history of Budapest began with Aquincum, originally a Celtic settlement[12][13] that became the Roman capital of Lower Pannonia.[12] Hungarians arrived in the territory[14] in the 9th century. Their first settlement was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241–42.[15] The re-established town became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture[16] in the 15th century.[17] Following the Battle of Mohács and nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule,[18] the region entered a new age of prosperity in the 18th and 19th centuries, and Budapest became a global city after the 1873 unification.[19] It also became the second capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a great power that dissolved...
