It was to a large extent that revolutionary and counter-revolutionary forces destabilised the Weimar Government in the period 1919-1923. Both right and left winged groups sought control or downfall of the Weimar republic leading to multiple revolutions such as the Kapp Putch and the Spartacist uprising, severely effecting the Weimar Government’s overall stability. The Weimar’s flawed constitution further allowed tensions to rise on both left and right winged sides. The Weimar Government, which was led mostly by the Social Democrats and President Friedrich Ebert, also destabilised the Weimar Government through failing to create a new army under the Weimar Republic and instead relied on that of the existing right-winged military and the freikorps (ex-militant group) as their counter-revolutionary forces. These revolutions and counter-revolutions made the Weimar Government appear weak thus destabilising the Government.…
The Nazi era of history is one that has psychologically affected thousands of people. In different parts of the world, ancestors from the victims of what occurred when political issues happened to countries such as Czechoslovakia still carry bits and pieces of trauma from grandparents they have never met or even parents they have never seen again after the late 1930s. When things like this occur in the world, there is also another kind of division amongst people, known as the people that let things happen and the between that fight for a change to have people live equally, such as Waitstill Sharp and Martha Sharp. With their backgrounds in social work and ministry it is a clear understanding that they both had the common belief of having…

In their childhood, both Hans and Sophie were models of Hitler Youth and other programs that were far more accepting to different cultures and ideas. However, in 1936, when the Nazis decided to terminate other youth groups in 1936, Hans was arrested and put of trial for having a same sex relationship when he was 16. He was one of the two convicted out of 20. This catapulted the 2 to associate with the victims left by the Nazi Regime after a 6 month public trial. In their minds, this is what made the Nazi Regime fall from…

The Holocaust affected about 12 million people altogether. People’s feelings about the Annex were very in depth. The Secret Annex is a small space, but the Franks and Van Daans were fortunate to have a hiding place. Since there was a limited supply of food, Mrs.Va Daan would divide the food among everyone living in the Annex. People in the Annex got closer than they have ever been before, but friendships were also falling apart from arguing.…
During these changes, people were doubtlessly upset, but learned to live with the restrictions. Then came the confiscation of possessions, eviction to the ghettos, and arbitrary arrests. When troubled Jews went to familiar places of refuge, they found closed doors and ostracism as a result of the dangerous stigma associated with their demographic. Desperate rebellion, for the most part, led to torture and death. (“Holocaust Encyclopedia”)…

Some Jews even went crazy in their minds during the camps because they couldn’t put up with the pain of working and with fear that their family already have been killed. After the war had ended some survivors were left with nothing where they got to the point that their only option was to commit suicide. The survivors perspectives were altered after the Holocaust was abolished, that it changed their lives. During the war, the victims at the camps were starting to find hope, that one day they’ll free from this torture.…
The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping upon a society. The Holocaust was one of the twentieth century’s greatest tragedies that drastically changed the lives of many Jewish citizens during 1933-1939. These greatest tragedies were made possible by prevalent anti-semitism, Hitler’s rise to power, the introduction of the nuremberg laws and the night of the broken glass. Before the Holocaust, the Jewish community that occupied much of Europe lived a peaceful life, until chaos erupted over the 1930’s. Despite some anti-semitism, life for Jewish citizens within Europe before 1933 was relatively secluded.…
Following World War I, countries across Europe faced hardships and challenges as they rebuilt their countries from war. Countries concentrated domestically, helping their people and economy, while paying less attention to the developments occurring in neighboring countries because they did not possess the resources to help. Due to the economic, social, and political climate created by the war, countries in Europe experienced the rise of authoritarian regimes through their appearance of stability to the people; regimes like those seen after World War I could not rise today in the EU. As the economies struggled across Europe, authoritarian leaders presented jobs, growth, and stability to their people.…
