Abstract

The onset of immigration had long been a part of American history since its discovery in the 1600s and had shaped the country’s society and government throughout the years. In the early years, America had gladly opened its doors to the world without restrictions and some aided in the liberation of the country from English rule and into independence. However, as the years progressed, restrictions were imposed by the government due to the fear of these immigrants and eventually, due to the onset of illegal immigration. Reforms left and right were implemented to sustain America’s security, economy and ...

My best source: Lee, Stephen. "HITLER AND NAZI GERMANY." questions and analysis in history (2000).

Germans history has attracted the attention of many historians mainly due to its interesting aspects and the brutality of Adolf Hitler their leader. Stephen Lee gives a meticulous history of Germany in his pdf article HITLER AND NAZI GERMANY. Though recent, the article addresses Nazism during the reign of Hitler.

The change of political initiative in Berlin was caused by the September 2013. Federal decisions have expanded the interest for investigation of German European, external, and security strategies. Basing on the above notions, it is true that the making of Europe was Germany’s answer to its ...

U.S. History

The reason why the United States entered the First World War is justifiable. At first, the United States had pledged to be neutral; however, it later changed its stand when German mines destroyed and sunk several American ships that were travelling to Britain. The tension between Germany and the United States arose over Germany’s segregation of the Isles of Britain. Britain was one of the closest trading partners of the United States. In 1915, the Germans declared an unhampered warfare against all vessels and ships, whether neutral or not, that entered the war zones around Britain. ...

Research Question, Rationale, Scope and Methodology

In this study, the research question is why the Russians failed to support the Polish undergrounds during their uprising against the Nazis in 1944. The rationale for doing this topic stems from the fact that there are two sides to this debate; on one hand, the Russians claimed that the Germans decimated their early advance on the Eastside of Poland thus reducing their tactics to defense only; on the other hand, western countries believe that Russia deliberately refused to assist the Polish insurgents for political reasons. Given that there are two sides to this debate, this paper examines the ...

In the year 1933 when Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany, the country harbored the largest number of Jews that were over half a million.

Holocaust is derived from the Greek language and it means “kill by fire." The holocaust saw the death of more than six million Jews. In 1933, before the holocaust, the population of the Jews stood at nine million. This essentially means that about two thirds of the Jewish population was destroyed. The perpetrators of this massacre were the Nazis and their collaborators. They spared no one - not even women and children. Nowhere in the world has such a big group of people be killed over such a short period. The Nazis were of the view that Germans were racially superior ...

Dr. Seuss emerged as a staunch opponent of isolationism in America in the late 1930s as well as early 1940s. He saw inaction in United Sates to German as well as Japanese expansion as appeasement and cowardice. While the world was in a war, America had isolated itself and just sat to look the other countries fight. Dr. Seuss felt the weakness and thought that Americans were leaving their victims exposed to Japanese and Nazi brutality. Again, just before the Pearl Harbor attack, Seuss used to depict isolationists together with appeasers as lazy, cowardly and unintelligent.

The movie “Hitler: The Rise of Evil” clearly depicts the personality Adolf Hitler possessed. The miseries suffered throughout his childhood; the hard relationships with his father and following deaths of both parents have given birth to cognitive dissonance that accompanied him throughout his life. He was more than aware of the lives of Germans in Austria and Germany as he had seen personally the social stratum of both nations. As was noted in the movie, he acted on the pure basis of understanding of the behavior of human-beings. He was a psychologist; the experience of influence of his speeches made ...

Essay for Lesson 11: German Reunification

Introduction The division of Germany into West Germany and East Germany emerged as a stopgap solution for the woeful state of the nation following its defeat in the Second World War.

The question of whether or not the Holocaust was a unique event in history is quite a trivial one. In a sense, every historical event is unique since such an event is never identical to another one. It is not the uniqueness of the Holocaust that matters; rather what matters is whether there is some important distinguishing feature because of which historians regard it as a unique occurrence (Marrus 18-25). Indeed, there is such a distinguishing feature, and those who have debated over the uniqueness of the Holocaust have overlooked it. This is what shall be argued in this essay. Many historians share ...

Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 is arguably one of the most influential books of its time. Written during a very difficult period in Heller’s life, the novel captures what was to be a pivotal moment for American culture, as well as American history. Catch-22 follows Captain John Yossarian as he peels back the traditional heroism of war to reveal sheer madness. With heavy notes of satire, Heller presents several different themes throughout the novel as we see Yossarian thrust into the insane trappings of a real catch-22, sometimes masking the symbolism of what the book really stands for, which is what war ...

Essay for Lesson 5: Hitler and the Aestheticization of Politics

Introduction One of the reasons behind the success of the Nazi Party in taking over Germany is on its extensive use of propaganda. Adolf Hitler, known for his penchant for populism, rendered the strong impact of images, films and other materials attributed to Nazism as essential for the political success of the Nazi Party and its agenda for Germany. As an authoritarian leader, Hitler saw the importance of extracting the patronage of the Germans not through forceful means, but through convincing and motivating measures that enticed their mental faculties.

History

America in the Great War The start of World War I (WWI) is most often marked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian Black Hand anarchist. The Archduke was to have been the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In fact, the circumstances that led to the war began many years before, due to forces of nationalism, imperialism, and militarism within the countries that would become involved. Schuman (1953, p.283) explains how throughout history nationalism grew from conflicts and wars against “alien groups.” Alien groups are groups of people ‘different’ from the majority population.

Essay for Lesson 1: The 1848 Revolution, the Second Reich, and the First World War

Introduction Prior to 1871, no notion of a unified Germany has ever existed. Yet, the inevitability of the unification of the thirty-nine German states and cities that used to be independent from the control of one another into a single national entity under the Second Reich did not transpire without attendant internal and external power struggles. Given the variety of circumstances that allowed for the rise of a unified German state, it is noteworthy to pay further analysis to the role of Germany under the Wilhelmine Period – the period when Emperor William II ruled (1890-1918), in the buildup to the First ...

- Introduction Diplomacy, in the modern world, is the practice of countries dealing amicably with each other. It is the process by which countries conduct negotiations and come to agreements; during these talks, individuals often act on behalf of the state.

Once called the Great War, World War I differed from previous national and regional skirmishes in many respects. Not only was it a "practice run for racial cleansing", i.e. the uniquely characteristic genocidal practices of World War II, but World War I was the first international conflict that used propaganda on a massive scale.

One of the most prominent traits of the USSR internal politics in the 1930s is a change of the concept of public enemies.
