...The rise to power of Adolf Hitler was not just some fluke of history, as many would have you believe. It was all part of a conspiracy planned out in advance by heads of multi national corporations, international bankers, and globalist politicians. The same forces that are behind the worldwide chaos we are witnessing now, were behind the rise of Hitler, and were directly responsible for World War II. The Treaty of Versailles was one of the most important causes that led to Hitler's rise in Germany. From the German point of view the treaty was incredibly harsh and devastating for Germany. The leaders of the allies drew up this treaty to purposely revenge and weaken Germany. The treaty contained five major points that would be Germany's demise. The first part was to revenge and weaken Germany. Many rules were laid down to Germany, which they had to obey. The German territory to the west of the Rhine would be occupied by allied troops for 15 years. The Germans did not like this because they did not want enemy troops in their own country. Even though the war was over they still hated the allies. Germany was not allowed to put any defences or troops on the east bank of the Rhine. This made Germany feel weak and vulnerable to invasion. They also hated the thought of a foreign president telling them what to do. Germany had to agree never to combine with Austria again. They had to strictly respect the independence of Austria. This was hard for both countries to accept as they both...

...History Unit 2 Test 5. Hitler and the National Socialist Party gained power because of Germany’s economic depression and the people’s lack of faith in the Weimar Republic. Germany was a country where millions of people did not have jobs and the country was still being suppressed from the effects of World War 1. When the German referendum took place and ultimately failed in 1929, the party gained more publicity through propaganda. Hitler’s rise to become a chancellor was due to Hitler’s supporters demanding Hindenburg give Hitler power due to the inevitable anarchy. The downfall of the communist party was Hitler’s true rise to absolute power and took place due to the burning of the Reichstag. It was blamed on the communist party and in 1934,...

Martin Luther King Jr. was very passionate about protecting his kind and saving them from people that might hurt them or take advantage of them. The last thing Odysseus is very passionate about is war. He was passionate about fighting in the Trojan War, fighting the suitors, and fighting the Cyclopes. He relates to the hero Theodore Roosevelt, because they are both passionate about war. Teddy Roosevelt was very smart in war and very good at fighting in war. They were both leaders of both of their battles and won most of them. Oliver, Martin Luther King Jr. and Teddy Roosevelt were all very passionate about doing good and helping other people. Confidence is also very important trait to have to be a hero. Odysseus as he was passionate about war he was also very confident. When he went to the Trojan War that took a lot of guts to go fight. This reminds of solders fighting in wars today. The solders that probably had to have a lot of confidence would be the World War Two solders.

Fourteen years ago would have been 1918, the end of World War I, followed then by the Treaty of Versailles. He also states that “the Marxist (communist) parties and their lackeys have had fourteen years to show what they can do. The result is a heap of ruins” (p 2). Clearly, he is also blaming communism for the continued ruin of Germany. FDR, on the other hand, blames “the rulers of the exchange of mankind’s goods”, “the unscrupulous money changers” in his First Inaugural Address of 1933. He states, the banks “failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence” (p 2). Roosevelt blames the banks for the nation’s problems. According to Hitler, there were to be two four-year plans to deal with unemployment, finance and economy, agriculture and foreign policy. First and foremost, “One decisive step is absolutely necessary first: the overcoming of the destroying menace of communism in Germany” (p. 3). Meaning, no more communism… he is paving the way for Nazi Germany. Secondly, “the German farmer must be rescued in order that the nation may be supplied with the necessities of life… the German peasant must be rescued from quagmire into which he has fallen. Compulsory labor-service and back-to-the-land policy are two of the...

...Notes * U.S. Diplomacy and Russia In 1923, President Calvin Coolidge addressed the issue of Russian war debts. The President noted that the United States was resuming diplomatic relations with nations that had been cut off during World War I. The Russians, however, presented a problem for Coolidge because their communist form of government opposed democracy. * Italy Italy was a democracy when World War I began in 1914. The country's army fought alongside Allied forces. Unfortunately, the war left the government and economy of Italy unstable and a fertile ground for revolutionaries. Decisions made at the Paris Peace Conference denied the large territorial gains the Italian government expected after the war. In 1921, Benito Mussolini founded the National Fascist Party and rose up as a revolutionary leader. * Fascism was based on a foundation of authoritarianism and nationalism. For Mussolini, the most important aspect of a nation or state was the unity and survival of that state. Mussolini rejected democracy because he thought different political views and political parties weakened the unity of the state. * Taking Fascism on the Road Fascists disagreed with the communist belief that private property and businesses should belong to the state. The Fascists also believed that the nationalism of a state must be aggressively exported to other countries. In other words, the Fascists maintained that a nation had a right to invade and conquer a weaker nation...

...all others by Germany. Many events throughout history are identified with a race or denomination being persecuted based on their beliefs; the Japanese-American Relocation was indistinguishable from the Holocaust however, a few key events make them unique. The Holocaust was one of the most horrifying acts in history as, at the occurrence of the event “as many as 12,000 Jews were killed every day”(The Holocaust). Furthermore, Hitler was leading this mass genocide with debatable ideas that helped little with the situation, believing that the Jewish population was an enemy of his people, a threat. These ideas transpired during World War II, but supposedly dispersed after combat ended in 1945 when Germany surrendered and Hitler lost his life. Yet, once the Pearl Harbor was bombed a similar event occurred....

...Assignment 1 How was the south changed? The chief accomplishment of the new south was the expansion of textile production, as the number of cotton mills grew from 161 to 400. There was also an increase in the lumber industry, coal production, and tobacco growth. Although, the majority of southern farmers were not flourishing, which caused sharecropping and tendancy to increase between blacks and whites. The bourbons perfected a political alliance with northern conservatives and economic alliance with northern capitalists. They also reduced state expenditures and public debt. Attitudes about race became more strongly felt and the prospect of an electoral alliance between poor whites and blacks that could threaten the power structure became a possibility, so the southern states came up with various ways to disenfranchise blacks. Also, “Jim Crow” laws were enacted to mandate public separation of the races. Legalized segregation reinforced the notions of white racial superiority and African-American inferiority, creating an atmosphere that encouraged violence, and during the 1890s lynching’s of blacks rose significantly. Define the New West. After 1865, the federal government encouraged western settlement and economic exploitation.

...order to support my views I will provide multiple examples to support my views. The Great Depression was a horrific economic depression that impacted countries all over the world in the 20th Century. Some of these effect were long lived and took years to recover. Some of the effects from the Great Depression still happens in today’s society such as rise in unemployment, crime rates and prostitution. As well as the lack of funds for healthcare and public education. The US Great Depression lasted from October 1929 until Franklin D. Roosevelt became President in 1933. The Great Depression disrupted the lives of the Americans because for many years the government and the American people had been on a high for so long and within a blink of an eye the world as so many had grown to know came crashing down. One success which came from the government after the Great Depression was it improved the economic system of the United States. President Roosevelt faced the economic depression head-on once he was elected in office. Within his first 100 days in office, he and his administration created numerous institutions which had been neglected for hundred of years. Alot of the programs that were created were very appreciated by the American people because it gave them hope that things were going to get better. His administration stabilized the industrial and agricultural production. The Great Depression left 13 million people unemployed. These programs created jobs for the American people...

...DEPRESSION. In the recent studies that I have previously experienced one of the turning points in the progressive era and the Great Depression solely rely on the habits on how the United States was brought into the Great War of World War II. I have learned from early history that World War II was a turning point for the American people we as a nation was brought together to defeat the Axis of power which is widely known as the German power house. Hitler was the benefit of this war that the United States tried so hard to avoid. In the recent information that I have put together there was evidence that many people did not want the U.S. to get involved. We as a country was facing our own economic problems the Stock Market crashes and many investors who placed solely all their savings, checks and balances in the trust of the banking systems. The failure of the baking systems placed a strong grip on the American people forcing them to profit off other means such as hoarding their possessions and even entering into the war against Hitler and his German advisories. During the ordeal there also was a mass accumulation of immigrants into the United States and many were from Ireland, did not want the United States to intervene in the War to assist the British. There were shortcomings of the reaction on how the Irish who already rooted themselves into the American economy, and stressed they did not want American to help the British because the Irish was facing their own tyranny from their...

In reality, the light beam is moving.” This paradox would dominate his thinking for the next ten years. In 1905, while working in a patent office, Einstein submitted a paper for his doctorate and had four other papers published. It was four articles that would present grant Einstein his academic recognition, and where the famous “E=mc2” equation first appeared. The physics community initially dispelled Einstein until the founder of quantum theory Max Planck, garnered his attention. Einstein’s success continued to rise equally as fast as the Nazi regime began to take power in Germany. In 1920, Hitler and the Nazi regime began to denounce Einstein’s theories as “Jewish Physics”. They gained control of the German government and prevented any Jew from holding any official position, including teaching in Universities. Despite the negative attention, in 1921 Einstein won the Nobel Peace Prize in physics for...

...Assignment #2- Why did Hitler and Mussolini rise to power, and how did they use it? Could a Hitler or Mussolini have acquired power in the United States during the 1930s? Cameron Combs HS240N Assignment#2 Dr. Chico What kind of economic environment would embrace Fascism? What kind of society would allow their country’s freedoms and future to be placed into one dictator’s hands? Germany was surrounded by perceived forces of evil. The exploitation of fear from the French to the West and the Russians to the East would break the spirit of the German people. The fear of these two forces against a nationalized Germany would be used by Adolf Hitler to gain power. In Italy, Benito Mussolini used alliances with the Catholic Church, unions, and industry bosses to gain political power. That, along with using brute force against his political opponents, Mussolini’s form of Fascism was gradually built with eleven years of severe political maneuvering. Both Hitler and Mussolini took advantage of a political environment to form a new lofty ideal, fascism, an ideal that would lead to a second escalation in the early 20th century. World War I ended very badly for the Prussians. They were broken into smaller nations. Lands were taken from them.

...Woodrow Wilson, in WWI was already preparing the nation for war long before it was time to enter, and America was doing the same for WWII. Roosevelt, along with everyone else in America, had no way of knowing how horrific the holocaust was in Germany, but they all knew that Hitler was an evil man, and they knew that the allied powers must be helped. Trade was increased with Britain through the Lend-Lease Act, which allowed the US to provide weapons and other materials to the allied powers without any financial compensation (History.com). This meant that countries such as Britain, Russia, and even China were now free to fight without having to worry about paying the US for our supplies. This act put the US firmly in the favor of the allied powers, and showed that we were no longer really neutral in the war effort. Our inability to remain neutral, even without going to war yet, showed that war would eventually...
