Berlin Wall 1960's
The document summarizes the key events surrounding the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. It notes that following World War 2, Berlin was divided between the Western Allies and Soviet Union. By 1961, many East Germans were fleeing to the West for political and economic reasons, which embarrassed the USSR. In response, the Soviet leader Khrushchev demanded the withdrawal of Western troops from Berlin. When Kennedy refused, the East Germans, with Soviet backing, erected the Berlin Wall overnight on August 13th 1961 to stem the flow of refugees. The Wall separated friends and families and resulted in over 100 deaths of people trying to cross over the years until it eventually fell in 1989.
Berlin wall
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by East Germany to prevent its citizens from fleeing to West Berlin and West Germany due to economic and political conditions. It divided the city into East and West for 28 years. In 1989, large protests in East Germany grew and the government was forced to open the border, eventually dismantling the Wall by 1991 to reunify Germany. The fall of the Berlin Wall ended the Cold War and Communist control in Eastern Europe.
The berlin wall
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to prevent mass emigration from East Berlin and East Germany to the western sectors. It split families and symbolized the division of Germany and Europe during the Cold War. In 1989, a new government in East Germany announced citizens could freely cross into West Berlin, leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall that November as people celebrated the end of the division. German reunification was formally achieved in 1990.
The Berlin Wall
After World War 2, Germany was divided between the Western Allies and Soviet Union. Berlin was also divided, and from 1949 to 1961 over 2.7 million East Germans fled to the West via Berlin. In 1961, East Germany erected the Berlin Wall to stop the flow of emigrants. The wall cut through neighborhoods and became a symbol of the Cold War. It stood for 28 years until 1989, when political reforms in the Eastern Bloc led East Germany to open border crossings and allow East Berliners to freely enter West Berlin, leading to the fall of the wall.
Rise & Fall of The Berlin Wall
The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall. It describes how after World War 2, Germany was divided into East and West with Berlin also divided. In 1961, the Berlin Wall was constructed overnight to prevent East Germans from fleeing to the West. Over time, the wall became more fortified with guards authorized to shoot those trying to escape. Throughout the Cold War, some risked their lives to escape over or under the wall. By 1989, with reforms in the Soviet Union, the wall was opened, celebrating the reunification of Germany.
Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by East Germany to stop the flow of people from East to West Berlin. It divided Berlin and Germany for nearly 30 years until 1989 when increasing civil unrest and reforms in the Soviet Union led to its fall. The fall of the Berlin Wall was a pivotal event that symbolized the end of the Cold War and led to German reunification in 1990.
The Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to prevent East Berliners from escaping to West Berlin. It divided the city until 1989. The wall was prompted by the large number of people fleeing from East to West Berlin each month for greater prosperity. It cut through neighborhoods and separated families. Over its 28-year existence, 192 people died trying to cross the wall illegally. The wall fell in 1989 amid reforms in the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev that weakened East Germany.
Berlin Wall Article
1) The document discusses the experiences of former East Germans 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, including Klaus-Jurgen Warnick who lived in Kleinmachnow outside Berlin.
2) Warnick received land from the East German government in 1969 and built a house, planting trees for his grandchildren, but faced trouble when the original owner returned from West Germany after reunification and claimed the property.
3) While life is better now for former East Germans with freedoms like free speech, they still face economic disadvantages compared to West Germans in terms of wages, savings, and retirement benefits, showing that reunification did not fully resolve inequalities between East and West.

25th Anniversary: Fall of the Berlin Wall
On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. In honor of the upcoming 25th Anniversary of this event and the 24th Anniversary of German Reunification, I put together this presentation.
Berlin Wall
1) After WWII, Germany was divided into four occupied zones controlled by the US, UK, France and Soviet Union. Berlin was similarly divided.
2) In 1948, the Soviet Union blocked land access to the western sectors of Berlin, prompting the US and UK to launch the Berlin Airlift to supply the city from the air.
3) In 1961, the East German government built the Berlin Wall to prevent East Germans from fleeing to the western sectors and West Germany. It remained until 1989 when rising dissent led East Germany to open border crossings and allow East Berliners to travel freely.
Berlin wall-
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 and divided West and East Berlin until 1989. It had official crossings that were heavily guarded checkpoints. In 1987, U.S. President Ronald Reagan challenged the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall at the Brandenburg Gate. The wall fell in 1989, marking the end of the dictatorship in East Germany and reunification of Germany.
53th anniversary of the Berlin Wall
The document summarizes the construction and early history of the Berlin Wall from 1961 to the 1960s. It describes how on August 13, 1961 soldiers started building the wall with barbed wire and fencing to divide East and West Berlin. Over time, it developed into a heavily fortified border with walls, fences, guard towers, and checkpoints. More than 100,000 East Germans tried to escape to the West between 1961 and 1988, with over 600 being shot and killed during escape attempts. Photos from LIFE magazine show the wall's construction and impact on dividing the city and its residents.
Battle of britain
The Battle of Britain was a major turning point in World War II that prevented Germany from invading Britain. It was an air battle fought between the German Luftwaffe and the British Royal Air Force from July to September 1940. After Germany's victory over France, Hitler planned to invade Britain next. The Luftwaffe began bombing British cities like London to soften defenses for invasion. However, the RAF intercepted many German planes, shooting down a large number during bombing raids in September. This major loss of German aircraft caused Hitler to cancel plans for invading Britain, marking a crucial defeat that changed the course of the war.
World War Two
World War 2 lasted from 1939 to 1945 and involved two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The Axis included Germany, Italy, and Japan, while the Allies included Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States. Over 60 million people died in the war, including around 40 million civilians. Germany invaded Poland in 1939, drawing Britain and France into the war. By 1945, the Allies had defeated the Axis powers, culminating in the US dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Japan to surrender and ending World War 2.
Berlin Wall
The document summarizes the history of the Berlin Wall, including its construction in 1961 by East Germany to prevent emigration to West Berlin, details of its physical structure, and statistics on deaths that occurred from people trying to cross over.

The document concludes with Germany being reunified in 1990.
George Earl Hamilton Marsden
George "Geordie" Nigel Douglas-Hamilton was born into an aristocratic Scottish family and was educated at prestigious schools in Britain and Europe. During World War II, he served in the Royal Air Force as Fighter Command's chief intelligence officer and received several honors for his service. After the war, Douglas-Hamilton held several ministerial positions in the British government and served as the UK High Commissioner for Singapore from 1959-1963. He succeeded his father as the 10th Earl of Selkirk in 1940 and had a long and distinguished career in public service.
1990s
The 1990s saw many technological advances and the end of two major wars. New words were added to dictionaries to describe evolving concepts. While science and technology progressed, some felt cynical about their impacts. The decade saw the end of the Cold War and Gulf War, introducing euphemisms like "ethnic cleansing" and "collateral damage." The internet emerged, along with new terms like "cybernauts," and fears over the "millennium bug." The European Union expanded from 25 to nearly 40 states, though Britain's relationship with Europe was strained. New Labour replaced the Conservatives in government, shifting away from socialism toward the "third way." Popular culture saw the rise of lad culture and indie bands overtaking boy bands
1930s
The document provides a timeline of major events from the 1930s including the discovery of Pluto, Amelia Earhart's solo flight across the Atlantic, and the start of World War II. It discusses how the 1930s saw the invention of new words to describe concepts like hyperinflation and Hoovervilles that emerged during the Great Depression. Additionally, it notes how World War II led to many new military terms being coined, especially from the German language, and that 60 million people died during World War II leaving the world in need of repair.

2.3 new technology of_wwi_website
Trenches during WWI were unsanitary places that exposed soldiers to rats, lice, trench foot, and shell shock. New weapons in 1914 like machine guns, airplanes, and tanks were developed, but commanders failed to understand how to effectively use this new technology. As a result, battles involved attrition strategies that led to massive casualties. Poison gases, larger artillery, tanks, planes, and submarines increasingly inflicted death on a larger scale and changed the nature of warfare.
Breif history of british film
The British film industry has experienced periods of growth and decline throughout its history. It began in the late 19th century and reached its peak production in the 1930s and 1940s, known as the "golden age" when directors like Michael Powell and Carol Reed created some of their best works. While World War I halted production, the industry rebuilt in the 1920s-1930s due to legislation requiring cinemas to screen a certain percentage of British films. Another successful period occurred during World War II led by filmmakers like Powell and Pressburger. However, declining support from the government in the 1970s-1980s damaged the industry before a modern renaissance beginning in the 2000s with popular franchises like Harry Potter and James

The document discusses tanks that were used during World War 1 between 1914 and 1918. It describes how the first tanks were unreliable due to mechanical issues with newly developed engine technology and could break down or get stuck in rough terrain.

The document includes images of early tanks from Germany, Britain, and France that represented some of the first armored vehicles used in modern warfare.
History of short film
The history of short films began in the late 19th century when early films could only be short due to technological limitations. Through the 1900s-1910s, improvements allowed longer films and the first "feature films." Short films remained popular through the 1920s-1940s for newsreels and propaganda. They declined from the 1950s-1970s as features dominated theaters. However, the rise of affordable cameras in the 1990s and online platforms like YouTube revived interest in short films by independent filmmakers.

Post 4 history of docs
Documentaries have evolved significantly since the early 1900s. Early documentaries from the 1920s, such as Moana and The Battle of San Pietro, were filmed in black and white using poor quality cameras and audio. By the 1990s, documentaries had improved audio quality and some began to use color film. Modern documentaries from 2002 onward generally use high definition cameras, though some directors employ older styles to suit historic topics like the 2012 documentary Jack the Ripper. The pioneering filmmaker John Grierson is considered the father of documentary film for coining the term "documentary" and establishing the genre in the 1920s.
The History of Zeppelins
Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin began experimenting with rigid airships in the late 1800s, creating his first successful rigid airship the LZ 1 in 1900. In 1908, the German military purchased the LZ 3, proving the military worth of rigid airships. During World War 1, Germany used Zeppelins for bombing raids on cities and in combat for the first time in 1914. However, the development of incendiary ammunition made Zeppelins vulnerable to being shot down in flames. The Treaty of Versailles after World War 1 forced Germany to surrender its Zeppelins. The company ceased production until 1924 when the US purchased the LZ 126, reigniting interest until the Hindenburg disaster

This document discusses the different varieties of English that exist due to personal, regional, ethnic, class, gender, occupational, and age-based factors. It explores why so much linguistic variation exists in the language and how this variation is linked to language change over time.

Uncle Isidore by Dannie Abse
Uncle Isidore is a poem about the persona's uncle and how his experiences during World War 2 and the Holocaust caused him to question his faith in God. Stanza one introduces Uncle Isidore in a negative light, describing him as smelly and a beggar. Stanza two implies that like the poet, Uncle Isidore was Jewish and may have survived concentration camps. In stanza three, Uncle Isidore questions what difference there is between God's silence and man's silence during times of suffering. This comment angers God, represented by the thunder and rain in stanza four.
Terrible Angels by Dannie Abse
The poem describes how angels sent by God to observe war became corrupted by the violence. Originally invisible observers, they began to delight in the pain of fallen soldiers. They stole weapons from the dead and joined the fighting. This led the poet's father, a veteran, to believe he knew too much about angels, suggesting the horrors of war drove him mad.
