and children gassed, burned, shot, and hung under the command of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. The Nazis believed these violent acts were acceptable due to their strong belief that Jews ruined the German nation. In added attempt to perfect the ideal Germany, the Nazis exterminated cripples, Gypsies, the old, and the sick. However, this mass extinguishment of human lives did not happen overnight. It was a slow and precise process that Hitler

Unification of Italy and Germany By 1871 both the kingdom of Italy and the empire of Germany were united. Even though both countries used popular trends to that time, both liberalism and nationalism, the process unifying these two countries was very different. The end result was Germany emerging as a strong nation and Italy appropriately, the weaker. Italy’s problems started with the fact that it didn’t have one main ruler, but two people and a concept, resulting in a different approach to

why the Allied strategic bombing of Germany during the Second World War was significant to quite a far extent. Each of the following paragraphs will analyse the impacts of the Allied strategic bombing on different aspects of Germany and also what factors assisted the Allied bombing campaign in creating a significant impact on Germany during the Second World War. The technological developments during the campaign affected the significance of the bombing of Germany during the Second World War. In 1939-1941

Genocide in Germany Beginning in the early 1930's, officials in Germany saw that they could put the blame of their troubles onto the Jews. After the First World War, the German public was extremely angry with the government officials, especially because of the aftermath of the war. The German economy tumbled to a point that children could use blocks of German Marks as building blocks, French from right across the border could get pastries and other goods in Germany for

Geographically, Germany is centrally located in the heart of Europe. Germany’s land mass goes from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea in the North, to the Alps in the South.

(US Fast Facts, 2012) Germany is a federal parliamentary republic that has a current population of around 81 million people, making it the fifteenth most populous country in the world.

The German army (The Reichswehr) contributed to the considerable social, political and economic changes that took place in Germany between 1919 and 1934. The German army was one of the strongest nationalistic organisations in the country following WWI and became essential in the Weimar Republic, providing defense against revolutionary communist forces in the early stages of the democracy. However, while the German army aided in preventing the success of communist uprisings and the strong right wing

remained that they had all been blinded by the scapegoats they were given to what was really happening. Hitler concealed the truth of his tyranny and informed Germany that “the Jews were the reason for the inner poisoning of Germany and that they had stolen the victory from Germany” (Hall). However, the event was also beneficial as “Germany has largely lost its connection to the generation of perpetrators” and anti semitism was condemned where less than twenty years ago it had been predominant among

have had trouble unraveling how the systematic slaughter of millions of defenseless Jewish individuals could have possibly taken place at the hands of Germany. While Jews had been uniquely stigmatized within the European social hierarchy until the late nineteenth century as they were regarded as unmanageable, evil-intentioned, and indolent, Germany was widely known as a more tolerant and progressive society particularly because it granted citizenship to Jews as early as 1812. As well, it is widely

Nazi Germanys’ poor response to the air raids leveled against it by the Allied Forces inevitably cost them the war. Nazi Germany did not utilize their antiaircraft artillery assets effectively, leaving their infrastructure vulnerable to the Allied Forces relentless bombing campaign. The initial volley of air raids between Britain and Nazi Germany inflicted very little damage to either side. As the battles of World War II waged on, the American Air Force, banded together with the British Royal

Jens George Reich stated, “People imagine the reunification will be the answer to all their dreams.” While reunification marked the official end of communism within Germany, in reality problems were arising from the processes that were unexpected by the people of Germany. The reunification was implemented ineffectively by incompetent management amidst unfavourable economic and social circumstances which resulted in political, economic and social consequences as problems associated with the East
