Introduction Attila, also known as Attila the Hun (b.?- d. 453 CE), was arguably the greatest ever Hunnic leader who devastated the Roman Empire, particularly in the West, and was one of the primary contributors to its downfall. There has been extensive debate about where Attila’s people, the Huns, actually came from. Although there is a lack of evidence on the origins of the Huns, the two main theories are that they either: originated from somewhere around Kazakhstan and central Asia; or that they

WW1 was named the Great War. For the first time in human history, a conflict took a global, worldwide dimension to become an unprecedented human tragedy that lasted from 1914 to 1918 and killed about 10 million young European men and many more civilians, destroying an entire generation of Europeans. There are 4 main causes of this war: Militarism, Alliance, Imperialism and Nationalism. Nationalism was what set off the bomb, which started the Great War, because of the murder of Archduke Franz Ferdinand

of the First World War. During World War One, Germany was a Central Power along with their main ally- Austria Hungary. Other countries that were on Germany’s side were Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. Their opponents included Great Britain, France, Russia, and later the United States. Before World War One in the early 1900’s, Germany was the most powerful country and had the most up-to-date industry in the world. Germany became a united country for the first time in 1870-1871.

In midsummer 1943, a year before the Anglo-American invasion of Normandy, Adolf Hitler’s Wehrmacht, still occupied all the territory it had gained in the blitzkrieg campaigns of 1939-41 and most of its Russian conquests of 1941-42. Germany also retained a foothold on the coast of North Africa, acquired when Germany assisted Italy in 1941. The Russian counteroffensives at Stalingrad and Kursk pushed back the perimeter of Hitler’s Europe in the east. Yet, Hitler and his allies still controlled the

The United States was coming out of the most severe economic turmoil of its history at the time World War II began in 1939. The federal government was already in debt to the tune of around 40 billion dollars, more than doubling in since 1930, largely due to federal spending in attempts to ease the economic crisis of the great depression. Americans were in no way ready, willing or financially capable of supporting another war against the Germans. The ideals of the average American at the time, much

biggest wars in known history that would make thousands of widows and thousands of orphans. Germany had really started a war they couldn’t win, during the war the Germans had to fight on the western front facing the British, French, Belgians and later Americans while taking on Russia on the Eastern front until the Bolshevik Revolution aka: Red October, October Uprising. As you can imagine it would have been extremely difficult to hold off armies from two sides and definitely contributed to the Allies

civil war in Ukraine and the annexation of the Crimean peninsula by Russia. Until recent events, it is unlikely that many Americans knew what Ukraine or Crimea were, or even where they are on a map. Since 1954, Crimea was an autonomous republic that belonged to Ukraine. However, its history stretches centuries before Ukraine and Russia, and is interwoven with a variety of cultures and ethnic groups. While Vladimir Putin of Russia makes the claim that Crimea is historically Russian and “belongs” to
