its lack of adequate allies and a war on multiple
fronts. Territorially, Hitler came very close in

proved disastrous. His lack of time spent
organizing the conquered territories resulted in
wide spread rebellions which in turn separated
German forces. The North African campaign absorbed
troops that were much needed on the Russian front.
The failure of ...

Claude Monet Industrial Revolution

"The Impressionists were subjective painters, who
looked at nature in their own individual ways. The
results were, hardly surprisingly, very different,
when we consider the divergent styles of say
Monet, Degas, Renoir, Gauguin, and Seurat. Perhaps
the greatest achievement of Impressionism was to
capture the effect of real sunlight on canvas. It
is possibly this that made their pictures the most
popular, and the most expensive, of the 20 th
century. " Impressionism began in the late 1800 s
