Chinese Exclusion Act. The act specifically targeted Chinese immigrants, who happened to be the first group to experience federally authorized racism and hostility (even though they only made up only 3% of the annual immigrants). At the start of the 20th century, immigration regulation expanded its focus onto Japanese immigrants. This brought about…

most successful ads. According to Yanping Cui, Mao Ying and Hongqi Fan, writers of the Cigarette smoking practice and attitudes, and proposed effective smoking cessation measres among college students in China, state over the first half of the 20th century that cigarettes were at a steep increase. It wasn’t until 1964 when cigarettes reached their peak. Around this era, the cigarette industry began to see a shift of change within their system. Many driving forces began to project the truth about…

In 20th century Germany, Adolf Hitler proved to be this man. He used the anger of the German people towards the Weimar Government for signing the Treaty of Versailles to his advantage. Hitler also exploited the economic struggles of Germany and the hardships of the German people during 1920s and 30s. Finally, Hitler spread the Nazi message to a weakened and shattered German population to get the people to vote for his fascist ideals. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis rose to power in 20th century…

The late 19th century created building that fancied the Victorian era establishing houses that had the Queen Anne style. This style included characteristics such as: tall proportions, steep roofs, complex plans, and a variety of colors, textures, and materials. Over time this was seen as irrational and old-fashioned as Birmingham emerged into the 20th century. They replaced the archaic architectural themes into a more practical light.…

In the initial period of Australian history, the attractiveness of strategic dependence on a great power was so appealing that it became deeply engrained in Australias psyche (Fraser, 2014). During the 20th century, Australia had begun to loosen its ties with the Empire that had paved the way for its growth prior and shortly after federation and had begun to search for another paternal figure. It was during the final days of 1941 that the newly appointed Prime Minister of Australia, John Curtin,…

Immigration in the 20th century peaked after the Second World War. Many people from many countries came to the Netherlands, looking for a new life, or a job. Not just locals from countries overseas migrated, but also the Dutch living in the former colonies, like Indonesia. Many Dutch people from Indonesia came back home after the war. They are seen as the first wave of immigration. At first, they were not going to stay permanently. However, they changed their minds and many stayed for the rest…

flocked to America in hopes of obtaining these ideals stated in our declaration. Even today, many still hope to relocate in order to have their chance at a slice of the American dream. However, those siding with the Progressive movement of the early 20th century disagreed and thought that America still had plenty of room for improvement before these ideals could be fully lived up to. I have to agree with many of the progressives’ views when considering this point in history. If you look to the…

I would describe acts of terrorism in the 20th century as mostly attributed to decentralized groups or individuals, motivated by political or religious ideology, offering negotiable terms and using conventional weapons in pursuit of a non-global agenda. Terrorism had not taken center stage as the world had focused on two world conflicts and a subsequent cold war between two world super powers. A series of caliphates in the Middle East had occurred well into the 1920’s where boundaries soon…

Protests come in two different forms. They can either be peaceful or they can contain violence. Both forms of protesting are very common even within our contemporary world. The idea of either form of protesting is to simply state an opinion and to get a message across so that some sort of favourable change occurs. Protesting is very popular within our world especially in the past but even now, especially in America, it is the best way to get a change to occur. Without it, our world would not…

The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide in the 20th century. It was a cruel event much like other genocides, but this particular one killed an estimation of 1,500,000 people. Armenians were blamed by Turkish for partnering up with the Russians during World War I. The consequence for the Armenians resulted in being forced to give up their weapons; Also those that were in the army were killed or put into slave work until they died. The Turks would find any way to get rid of the Armenians.…
