World War I began on July 28, 1914, when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, using the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian as an excuse for them to keep their power over Bosnia.

One of the policies of the Neutrality Acts was "cash and carry", this…

People being sent to a foreign land. Sons leaving friends and family behind. They fight for their homeland, with a sense of unquivering pride and courage. Fighting against an enemy as equal in power as they are, these soldiers protect the life of one another and of complete strangers. Strangers who fight against starvation, suffocation, and death, strangers whose very existence is being slowly eradicated all because the will of one man. The destruction of so many and so much are all the lasting…

In a mere six years, the German dictatorial regime led to World War II. Such events like the unfair treaty of Versailles, the seductive Nazi propaganda, the sheer speed of the events as well as Britain and…

Subsequently, Japan invaded China (1937-1938) and Germany overtook both Austria and Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia (1938) with increased resolve to expand their territory due to nationalist and idealistic views (Strayer, Ways of the World, p. 636-650).

The origin of Kristallnacht started in an unpredictable way, had a huge effect on people, and still…

“It is not truth that matters, but victory.” Is one quote from Adolf Hitler showing he would go to great lengths to win even lie to millions of people. Hitler made an impact across the world, by beginning with an idea that Jews were the cause of the problems in Germany. From that he made the decision to try to eliminate Jews across Germany, then all of Europe. You may think that a person like Hitler had a gruesome childhood to make him the horrible man he was, and you would almost be right. He…
