After WWI, Adolf Hitler was in charge of Germany who wasn’t badly damaged in the war. They held “land of planted fields, well-cared for houses, and decently fed people” (pg 311). Despite the loss in the war and paying for the victors compensation that they couldn’t afford as well as giving up their land on the East side, everything was working out for Germany, the kaiser resigned and Germany was now a democracy. In the 1930’s the Great Depression broke out and 6 million Germans were out of work.…

So far there have been decades of tension between Northern and Southern America. They’re debating about slavery and state rights. But me, I’m against this whole slavery thing. I’m sticking with Northern America. It’s messed up having slaves at all. Abe Lincoln as president caused seven southern states, to go as the confederate states ( History.com).

process for picking the book Guns, Germs and Steel. I mainly decided to read it based on how it was highly recommended for AP world history. It also seemed very interesting, as it proposed a question that I have never thought about very well. I was debating over this book and Girl With a Pearl Earring, but I decided that if I really wanted to read it, I could read the latter for my own leisure whenever I wished, but this book had to be read before the next school year began, as it was strongly…
