“The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” (Adolf Hitler). This is the thinking behind Adolf Hilter. Just in this quote, you can tell how little his mercy and care for other humans is. When you hear the name…

I mean think about it, nobody really wants to talk about the chaos that went on throughout those years or the punishment that many innocent people had to go through and the mass killing. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning “sacrifice by fire”. In 1945 two out of every three Jews had been killed. Most people ask…

The long nineteenth century was undoubtedly the most unstable periods of French history which saw numerous varying regimes govern over the French people. However, as a result of a constant inability to represent the interests of its people, these regimes came and went in perhaps the most bloodiest of means, whether that was the horrifying events of la Terreur or the disastrous defeat by the new German state during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71. Arguably, the most interesting of these…

Concurring with Frederick Taylor, in Ian Kershaw’s Why Did German Democracy Fail, Harold James argues that the depression alone did not engender the collapse of Weimar, rather a decade of economic volatility delegitimized the Weimar government in the eyes of the public. However, in contradistinction with Taylor, James callously argues that the bulk of this volatility was not caused by the periods of hyperinflation and massive unemployment, rather it was the ridiculous demands of the labor…
