Second World War First World War
1,796 words
World War Two was a terrible and destructive war.
Although many dynamics led to the advent of World
War Two, the catalyst of the Second World War was
actually the aftermath of the First World War. The
First World War's aftermath set the stage for the
rise of Hitler. On Nov. 11, 1918, an armistice was
signed by the German commanders in the railcar of
the French commander, Ferdinand Foch, ending the
actual combat of World War One. The debacle of the
First World War, which killed between 10 to 13

George Washington Carver Hall Of Fame
1,250 words
George Washington Carver was born into slavery
January of 1860 on the Moses Carver plantation in
Diamond Grove, Missouri. He spent the first year
of his life, the brutal days of border war,
between Missouri and neighboring Kansas. George
was a very sickly child with a whooping cough,
which later lead to his speech impediment, and he
was tiny and puny. Georges father, James Carver,
died in a wood hauling accident when he was
bringing wood to his masters house one day. George

Marie And Pierre Marie Curie
1,431 words
Aspirations come from hopes and dreams only a
dedicated person can conjure up. They can range
from passing the third grade to making the local
high school football team. Marie Curie's
aspirations, however, were much greater. Life in
late 19 th century Poland was rough. Being a
female in those days wasn't a walk in the park
either. Marie Curie is recognized in history by
the name she took in her adopted country, France.
Born in Poland in 1867, she was christened Many
Sklodowska. In the year of he...

powerful and, unless used with care and in a
controlled environment, very dangerous.
Unfortunately, this was not known in the days of
the Curies. While working with radioactive
materials, both Pierre and Marie suffered from
many illnesses and pains. They encountered aching
arms and legs, sores, colds and blisters that
never seemed to go away. They often pinned these
problems to their lack of rest due to being in the
laboratory. Only later did the tw...

Von Hindenburg Political System
1,586 words
In December 1929, the German government faced a
total financial crisis, facing a short fall of 1.
5 billion marks in anticipated revenues. It
occurred then that the world would lie in
darkness, where deaths would override births
dramatically, and where the lives of those of a
different race, those opposed to the Nazi rule
would lie. In the 1920 s, Germany encountered a
great mired in an economic depression. Millions of
citizens suffered hunger and many remained out of
work. The national spirit o...

Fell In Love Main Theme

Frederic Francois Chopin was born in
Zelazowa-Will, near Warsaw, Poland. No one is
exactly sure about his birth date; he was born on
February 22 or March 1, 1810. He was very gifted
when it came to music and was playing the piano in
public by the time he was eight years old. Soon
after that he was composing music! When he was
about sixteen, he studied at the Warsaw
Conservatory and went to school there from 1826 to
1829. He left Poland in 1830 and settled in Paris
in 1831. He lived in Paris for ...

Black And White Polish Jews

... y, there is the viewpoint of an old Jewish
man, who does not sing, but remains in his chair
looking distraught and angry, hopelessly
outnumbered in his stance. The pseudo-traditional
German folk song (composed by John Kinder and Fred
Ebb for the film) continues, more and more
instruments join in and the tempo picks up.
Naturally this has an effect on our two characters
who leave soon after and return to their car. By
which time, the music has reached a massive
crescendo. Max turns to Brian a...

The Cold War and the New World Order (1) It would
not be an exaggeration to say that Gold War served
as metaphysical foundation, upon which
international relations were based, from the time
of Churchill's famous Fulton speech in 1946, to
1991, when Soviet Union has painlessly ceased to
exist. One month prior to committing suicide in
his bunker, Hitler had prophesied: With the defeat
of the Reich and pending the emergence of the
Asiatic, the African and, perhaps, the South
American nationalisms, ...

Army were a De Kalb regiment of German American
clerks, the Garibaldi Guards made up of Italian
Americans, a Polish Legion, and hundreds of Irish
American youths form Boston and New York. But in

Adolf Hitler Lower Class

Much like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin was one of
the most ruthless and diabolical people in the
history of the world. Hitler once said of Stalin,
He is a beast, but hes a beast on a grand scale
who must command our unconditional respect. In his
own way, he is a hell of a fellow! (Stalin Breaker
of Nations, p. xvi) What Hitler said of Stalin is
only his opinion, and it is not a valid one at
that. For you must consider the source, it takes a
beast like Adolf Hitler to know a beast and Stalin

World War Ii Atomic Bombs

Eleven million precious lives were lost during the
Holocaust of World War II. Six million of these
were Polish citizens. Half of these Polish
citizens were non-Jews. On August 22, 1939, a few
days before the official start of World War II,
Hitler authorized his commanders, with these
infamous words, to kill without pity or mercy, all
men, women, and children of Polish descent or
language. Only in this way can we obtain the
living space [lebensraum] we need. Heinrich

women and children. The war transformed America
into a superpower that would influence events
around the world for 50 years. When World War II

Warsaw Ghetto Gas Chambers

Nazism is known for the crimes of the Holocaust
but I believe that contempt for humanity is the
most enduring and poisonous legacy. The
catastrophic violence off World War I and the
subsequent economic distress spawned the movements
of the despair Communism and Fascism. Both
movements are based on contempt for the average
man. Communism assumed that man is a consuming
creature, without spiritual needs. Nazism, assumed
that man is like an animal, subject to Darwin's

while others opposed the creation of the empire
because of fear that Russia will become too

Roman Polanski York Ny
1,256 words
Roman Polanski incorporated religious themes into
his films, A Knife In The Water (Poland 1962) and
Rosemary's Baby (U. S. 1968). A Knife In The Water
contains some Christian imagery that is not
incorporated into the plot or theme of the film.
In contrast, the central theme of Rosemary's Baby
is religion. I believe this difference illustrates
the fact that Polanski desired to make a radical
religious film but was unable to do so until he
came to The United States. A Knife In The Water is
a film ...
