The Anti-Liberal movements of the Pan-Germans, Christian Socialists, and Zionists were all small culturally, or economically alienated radical groups that felt neglected or rejected by the Liberal parties social limitations and ineffectiveness, thus creating a new political culture that rebelled against reason and law.
The New Left was a political movement in the 1960s and the 1970s. This movement consisted of agitators, educators, youth and others who wanted reform especially on issues such as social justice, abortion, gender roles, drugs, gay rights, and questions of social class (Klimke, 2). Thinkers such as C. Wright Mills, Herbert Marcuse (also referred to as the “Father of the New Left”) and groups such as the Situationist Internationale influenced the movement (Klimke,2). The New Left’s purpose was to make “a new path to social justice and revolution that excluded the policies and ideologies of both Western Democracy and the Communist coalition” (Klimke, 3).

Upon the rise of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party (the Nazi Party) in Germany, homosexuals, were one of the various groups targeted by the Nazis and were ultimately among the Holocaust victims. Commencing in the early rule of Hitler, homosexual organizations were expelled, scholarly books about homosexuality, and sexuality in general, were destroyed, and homosexuals within the Nazi Party itself were detained or executed. The Gestapo assembled lists of homosexuals in Germany, who were obliged to sexually obey or conform to the "German norm or expectations." This is evident in direct reference to the memoirs of Pierre Seel and the atrocious suffering he endured due to his sexuality in Nazi Germany. “I, Pierre Seel, Deported Homosexual: A Memoir of Nazi Terror” provides historians with an insight into the Nazi regime and the miseries endured by the minorities of that time. This response will consider the context, content and importance of these texts, as well as the difficulties that it poses as a primary source to historians.
During the Mid- to Late-19th century German people were beginning to call for a nation state. Two opposing parties –the Junkers or Conservatives and the Liberals fought for power in what would become the country of Germany. The Liberals who represented business interest and nationalist sentiment consisting of mainly Protestant ordinary citizens called for a representative government with a constitution, while the Prussian Junkers consisting of mainly aristocratic landowners and religious-minded middle classes supported the monarchy, agrarian farmers, and military tradition. The Liberals soon dominated Germany; however they ignored certain religious liberties of Catholics and Jews when voting for the German constitution in 1871.
Germans saw nothing fair in a treaty that blamed them for starting the war. Nor
The Failure of Democracy in Germany in the Period 1928 to 1934 Those in power in Weimar Germany so consistently mishandled the political and economic situation leading up to the period 1928-1934, that a well-structured challenge from the Nazi Party brought about the fall of democracy. This Nazi Party was stronger ideologically, structurally within the party and politically, with Hitler as Fuhrer a major factor himself. In addition, factions within Germany for whom a right-wing political system was more beneficial, such as the army and big business, aided the eventual change in governance. Thus a series of events occurred which can be summarised by these three main factors: failure of the Weimar
In this source, it depicts the ultra-nationalistic movement in Nazi Germany which had consequently advocated for children to join the party as an illustrated sign of devotion to their nation through serving their leader. Particularly, in the illustration, it displays a young Aryan member of the Hitler Youth, idealizing Hitler who is consequently being portrayed in a god-like persona. This promotes extreme patriotism and ultimately ultra-nationalistic beliefs due to the propaganda’s influence in the nation to take pride in the German race and therefore consider the threat of external enemies like Jews. Therefore, propaganda associated to this political perspective was essentially distributed to create dedicated and absolute soldiers for the
Germany's Change to a Parliamentary Republic in 1919 Between 1918 and 1919, there were many dramatic changes in Germany. This led to Germany turning from being a semi-absolutist monarchy, into a Parliamentary republic. A chain of events starting with the defeat of war triggered two revolutions. In spring 1918 there was one last chance of winning the war before the Americans joined the Allies.
Nazi Party was the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. This party ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945, until Germany defeated in World War II. Nazis had high German pride and anti-Semitism, prejudice and hatred towards Jews, which led to the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazis, was responsible for millions of deaths of Jews. He was able to rise to power because of the Great Depression in Germany.
Imagine what it would be like to be in a political party that would ignite Europe in a war that would soon involve the entire world. Founded as The German Workers’ Party, and later renamed to The National Socialist Workers (Nazi) Party, or Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei in German, was that party. It was under control by Adolfus (Adolf) Hitler and promoted German pride and anti-Semitism. Thankfully, at the end of World War II, this party was outlawed and many of its top officials were convicted of war crimes (History.com). This German political party was one of the most dangerous and destructive political parties in the twentieth century because they were the main cause of World War II, the cause of the mass murder of six million
During World War II, production was a major factor in military success. On the war’s pivotal Eastern Front, the Soviet Union recovered from the losses of the initial invasion and produced a high quantity of war material. Germany continued to produce the high quality it was renowned for. The difference in production systems tended to align with the national ideology of each country: Communism and German National Socialism. Each production system had its strengths and weaknesses, but in the end the Soviet Union simply outproduced Germany.
The 30th of January 1933 marked a time of dramatic change in the way Germany was run and governed. This point of time signified the totalitarian era of Germany. Totalitarian meaning a system of government in which power and all aspects of state affairs are in the hands of one party and that party tolerates no opposition (Mason, 1996). Hitler wanted to create a generation of young Aryans who were physically fit and obedient. They would create a new Germany that would rule the world for a thousand years. To do this, he started up the Hitler Youth. The main focus was to train young boys in military tactics. At the age of 10 boys joined the Deutsches Jungvolk where they remained until the age of 13, then they transferred to the Hitler Jugend until
. Working Thesis Statement: Although there is evidence to state that the Catholic Church in Germany was apathetic to the damages caused the Nazi Policies, during the latter part of the Second World War the Catholic attitudes towards the Nazis changed from adherence to public disapproval.
In considering the process of change on German political systems over the whole period 1890-1991, how far can the Second World War be seen as the key turning point?
