The New Republic

Versailles (TOV) as well as many putsches in Germany caused continuous problems for the Weimar Republic. Another example of such an incidence was the hyperinflation crisis in 1923 that left Germany more crippled than ever before. By 1924, the Weimar government, via the help of Stresemann, was able to recover the economy and bring in an almost ‘golden-age’ to Germany, assisted by Dawes , the Weimar Republic was able to obtain loans and have an easier repayment plan for the TOV, thus allowing…

Poverty has affected Great Empires and Nations throughout history. Poverty has even affected cultures, different races, and genders. This is an issue that has been around since the beginning of time and most likely will never end. Some like to think that people are choosing to be in poverty, or ignore just how significantly poverty can destroy nations as a whole. The Roman Empire are remembered for their power, leaders such as Julius Caesar, and their crumbling society which leads to their…

“The Easter Uprising of 1916 has become the foundational myth of the modern Irish state” (Reynolds 36). The actual act itself was impractical and more of a dream than a concrete reality. It was much like the American Revolution to a point. A determined few up against impossible odds against an entire country and her military, but in the long run the poor way that England handled the situation led to the aftermath of the revolt taking hold and giving birth to a political revolution instead (Walsh…

The Treaty of Versailles was seen as a betrayal of the German people by their new elected government. Right-wing parties within Germany assassinated several politicians whom they considered responsible. The German people were not the…

I sat there on that red wooden bench, looking towards the playground at the children with whom I had spent twelve days getting to know. Jadwin, a small, fragile boy with the big blue-green eyes that twinkled against his golden tan complexion, tugged on my shirt and pointed at the slide. That bright yellow beaten down piece of plastic brought so much joy and memories for Jadwin and the rest of the kids at Genesis: School for Special Education. My heart sank in the realization that this would be…

I expected. I believed that I was going to be the one person to go down and “change” the people. This idea is far from reality, but I realize that you can make a difference in some people’s lives. I have taken a few mission trips to the Dominican Republic, where I have built relationships with the people down there.

afraid of death.” Julius Caesar should have listened to his warnings of the Ides of March because he was unaware that it was his closest colleagues that killed him. When Caesar returned to Rome, he started to act more like a king than a leader of a republic. The senators were offended by this behavior because it was a sign of disrespect to Balbus. Caesar showed melodrama when he realized how insulting his actions were and threatened to kill himself. Lucius Cotta, a cousin of Caesar and one of…

Schleicher, persuaded Hindenburg to sack him. Another Centre Party politician, Franz von Papen, took his place. Papen's government failed in a November election. The election gave Papen even fewer seats, so he went to Hindenburg with a new plan. He suggested closing down the…
