The European colonial period went on for centuries and its consequences can still be seen around the world. Colonialism brought with it a huge cost in human lives and arguably a jus a big loss in faith in humanity as so many wrong decisions were made. The time of cruel exploitation and inhumane living conditions for the colonised supposedly ended with the beginning of postcolonialism that sought to settle the issues that had come with world leaders’ colonial greed. However, the conception of the…

There are two sides to every story, and, sometimes, while both sides are not right, both sides have situational factors that allow both sides to come to the conclusion that they acted appropriately. In Poland, Germans forced and were forced to commit genocide on the Jewish population, but with help from Poles at certain times; therefore, is it possible to defend a man who pulls the trigger, but is placed in the situation through potentially no fault of his own? Throughout the Holocaust and…

History of Operation Research According to the history of Operations Research it is said that Charles Babbage (1791-1871) is the father of Operational Research. The name of Operations Research evolved in 1940 during the World War II. This was established in Great Britain with the establishment of groups of scientists to analyze the strategic and tactical problems associated with military operations. The main objective of Operations Research was to find the most efficient usage of limited…

Throughout human history, many time periods had affected the humanity in ways no one expected to happen. Such great period was the time of the First World War or the Great War which started in 1914. This was one of those events where no one could predict the outcome and the consequences it would bring. But because of the veil of ignorance, people were unprepared for what was getting later on them. The terms “‘war poet’ and ‘war poetry’, observed Robert Graves in 1942, were ‘terms first used in…

The term racism was coined in the 1930’s as a response to the “cleanse of Jews” done by the German Nazis (Rattansi 2007: 4). Racism is a very large problem in our world and there is much work to be done to ensure equality among people of all cultures, skin colors and ethnicities. This essay argues that out of all the countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, Cuba has best dealt with the problem of racism in comparison to countries like Brazil. Cuba has a very rich history that fluctuates…

The Tsarist regime in Russia had begun deteriorating in the early 1900s due to widespread political, social, and economic instability. Both the Russo-Japanese War and WW1 exacerbated the situation, leading to higher levels of discontent amongst the people. Below I will analyse the fall of Tsarist Russia from 3 aspects: the political, social, and economic before and after the wars, and explain how each of these factors played a crucial role in the collapse of the Tsarist regime. The extent of…

Surprisingly, when Hitler came to power in 1933 he had not yet decided to attempt the systematic murder of an entire people. In fact, it took until two years after the start of World War II for him to officially decide to implement the genocide of Jewish people. Though Hitler did begin his so-called “Euthanasia” program in the fall of 1939 for the annihilation of handicapped German people, it still took six years into Hitler’s reign before he decided that genocide was the best option.…

At the end of World War I, Germany was harshly punished in the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and faced a state of disaster. Adolf Hitler gained power and combined his roles of Chancellor and President in the Reichstag into Fuhrer. Hitler had planned for a long time to commence the war of his own volition. Hitler and his fellow Nazis insisted that the eradication of Jews was justified in its response to a war launched against Germany by the Jews. At the core of the Nazi justification for the…

During the Holocaust, the Germans were willing to kill millions of Jews because the Nazi theology taught them to see Jews as subhumans. The Jews were considered objects who did not have the right to freedom, dignity, or life. The terrible things that Jews, as well as other people who do cruel things to people and animals, is said to be the result of dehumanization, Vox explained the conventional explanation. However, Paul Bloom, a psychology professor at Yale, said that the explanation of human…

The commonality of various injustices around the world is astounding. Such social catastrophes can be small daily occurrences or have disastrous long-term implications. Moral courage is necessary in order to prevent and further aid those who have been devastated by events so gruesome as the Holocaust. Specifically in North America, the injustices done to the Native American peoples are both overlooked and lacks discussion in both the history classroom. These people, indigenous to North America,…
