Regional and international organizations formed during the Cold War to counter Soviet influence and contain the spread of communism. The United Nations was established in 1945 with 49 members but grew to 192 by 2007, primarily in three periods: 1955 saw former colonies gain independence; 1960 saw many newly independent countries join; and 1990-1993 saw many eastern European countries join after the fall of the Soviet Union. The League of Nations failed to prevent aggression before WWII due to lack of commitment and power of member states to enforce its decisions.

Germany
Germany is known for its many castles, the most famous being Neuschwanstein. After World War II, Germany was divided into two countries - communist East Germany, which was under Soviet control, and democratic West Germany, which was supported by the US. The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by East Germany to prevent people from fleeing to West Berlin, where they had more freedom, and was later torn down in 1989.
hitler's rise to power ( by vishvadeep sinh chudasama )
Hitler was given responsibility for Germany's economic recovery after World War I. He instituted a state-funded work creation program that produced the German superhighways and Volkswagen, the "people's car." Hitler reoccupied the Rhineland in 1936, integrated Austria into Germany in 1938, and annexed the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. By the end of 1940, Hitler had consolidated power and was at the pinnacle of his power through military expansion and war, though some like economist Hjalmar Schacht had advised against huge rearmament spending.
WWI Background
The document outlines the major political, economic, and social changes in Europe between 1815 and 1914 that contributed to the outbreak of World War I. It discusses the rise of militarism and nationalism among European nations in the post-Napoleonic era, the formation of new alliances like the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente, and increasing tensions due to imperialism that divided countries and stoked military growth. By 1914, Europe was divided among opposing alliances, with rising militarism, nationalism, and imperial competition exacerbating existing tensions and creating a powder keg that ignited with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary.
Week 11 day 1- wwii- rise of nazism
The document summarizes the key causes of WWII in Germany. After WWI, Germany faced severe economic hardship due to losing territory and resources, war reparations, and restrictions on its military. High inflation and unemployment led to public discontent with the government. Adolf Hitler rose to power by blaming Jews and the Treaty of Versailles, promising to restore Germany's power. Once in control, Hitler rebuilt the military in violation of the treaty and began invading neighboring countries, ultimately leading Britain and France to declare war on Germany and commence WWII.
Module 3 - Germany Divided
After World War 2, Germany was divided into four occupation zones controlled by the Allied powers - the US, UK, France and Soviet Union. Berlin, located within the Soviet zone, was also divided among the four powers. West Germany adopted democracy and self-governance with the withdrawal of the Western Allies. Meanwhile, East Germany remained under Soviet control and domination until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Germany 20 Years After Reunification
Unity and division: Brief overview of German history pre-1871 to post-1990. More than 20 years after reunification, is Germany still a divided nation?
Nazi Economy General Presentation
The document discusses the reasons for the economic success of the Nazi regime in Germany during the 1930s. It states that the Nazi government focused on reducing unemployment and increasing industrial production for war aims. This led unemployment to drop dramatically from 4.8 million in 1933 to 0.5 million in 1938. However, the statistics did not count unemployed Jews, foreigners, and women. While wages rose, working hours increased significantly over time as well. The Nazis prioritized industry and transportation infrastructure over consumer goods or foreign trade.
Hitler's germany lesson 5 hitler's economic policies
Hitler consolidated his power through several means: the Reichstag Fire allowed him to pass the Enabling Act, which gave him dictatorial powers and outlawed other parties. He initiated public works programs to reduce unemployment while providing infrastructure. The Nazi government gained control over the German economy by subsidizing important industries, spending huge amounts on the military, and abolishing trade unions to curb workers' rights and control wages. While working conditions were restrictive and benefits reduced, the Nazis sought to appease workers through propaganda promoting a national community with full employment and cheap leisure activities.

Germany 1924 29 various exercises
The document provides information about important people, events, economic developments, and cultural changes in Germany between 1924 and 1930 during the Weimar Republic. It mentions key figures like Stresemann and Bruning, economic policies and agreements like the Dawes Plan, Young Plan, and Rentenmark that addressed hyperinflation, cultural movements like the Bauhaus and New Objectivity, and social changes including the rise of nightclubs and changing attitudes. The multiple questions ask the student to choose details from the document or their own knowledge to answer questions about solving hyperinflation, improving lives, stabilizing the economy, the government's popularity, and Berlin's culture in the 1920s.
Lesson 14
The cartoon depicts Hitler dressed as Santa Claus attempting to lure countries like Austria and Czechoslovakia into his sack by portraying himself as trustworthy, but with the intent of capturing them to increase his power. It uses the metaphor of Santa to represent how Hitler was deceiving countries into believing he meant no harm, while he actually had imperialist ambitions. The countries are depicted as children to show them as naive and vulnerable to Hitler's tricks. The cartoon comments on how Hitler had already taken Austria during the Anschluss and would continue taking other countries to build the Third Reich.
Nazieconomy
The document discusses Hitler's economic policies and priorities when coming to power in Germany, including dragging Germany out of recession, solving unemployment, making Germany self-sufficient, and transforming the economy to focus on rearmament. It describes Hjalmar Schacht's role in directing early Nazi economic policy from 1933-1935, focusing on steady growth, trade, and limiting rearmament spending. Hermann Goering replaced Schacht in 1936 to accelerate rearmament under the four-year plan and make Germany ready for war by increasing self-sufficiency in raw materials. Unemployment dropped greatly but working hours increased significantly, consumer goods declined, and unions were replaced with state-run organizations.
Y11 Germany Structures Test
This document provides 12 essay titles related to structures of government in Weimar Germany and the rise of the Nazi party. For each title, the student must identify whether the essay question requires a narrative (N), list-of-reasons (LR), or balanced (B) structure in the response. The titles cover topics such as Hitler's rise to power, resistance to the Nazis, Stresemann's leadership, the 1923 economic crisis, and challenges faced by the Weimar Constitution.
Jobs
Hitler implemented several public works programs and policies to drastically reduce unemployment in Germany. This included the National Labour Service which employed men in construction projects to build infrastructure like roads and schools. Germany also pursued national self-sufficiency through programs that developed substitutes for imported goods to create new domestic industries. Hitler further reduced unemployment by firing Jewish people from government jobs and pushing women out of the workforce to open more jobs for German men. Those who refused the new jobs offered could be sent to concentration camps. These changes benefited ethnic German men as they gained employment while Jewish people and women lost jobs and opportunities.
Written Work about World War II
World War II was caused by multiple interrelated factors: (1) the harsh Treaty of Versailles after WWI greatly resented by Germany; (2) the economic depression and rise of Hitler capitalizing on German unrest; (3) the policy of appeasement by Britain and France allowing German expansionism; (4) Hitler's desire to conquer new lands; (5) US isolationism removing potential opposition. As Germany, Italy and Japan continued seizing territory unchecked, Britain and France realized war was inevitable and gave support to Poland, leading Germany to invade and starting WWII in 1939. The involvement of the Soviet Union and US against the Axis powers eventually led to the defeat of Germany and Japan in 1945.
Geschiedenis the collapse of communism reunification

Geschiedenis germany of adenauer
The document provides an overview of the history of West Germany under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer from 1949 to 1963. It discusses how Adenauer prioritized integrating West Germany into Western military and economic alliances like NATO and the EEC to secure the country from the Soviet threat. It also describes West Germany's "Economic Miracle" period of rapid growth and reconstruction in the 1950s. The challenges of confronting and integrating those with Nazi pasts is also summarized.
Hitler's economic policy
Hitler implemented several economic policies in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1939. He arrested trade union leaders and replaced them with the Nazi Labour Front. Workers were not allowed to be employed or have their wages set without approval from the Labour Front. Public works projects like expanding the autobahn and increasing military spending provided many new jobs and helped reduce unemployment. However, by 1939 Germany was still heavily dependent on imports and government spending and debt had increased dramatically.
The collapse of the Weimar Republic
The Great Depression had devastating impacts on Germany after the Wall Street crash of 1929. Unemployment skyrocketed to over 6 million and many Germans lost their homes and livelihoods. Ordinary citizens suffered tremendously with no work and little food or money. This humiliation and hardship turned people against the ineffective Weimar government. Raising taxes and cutting wages to deal with the crisis only made matters worse. As living standards declined and disagreements rose within the ruling coalition, faith in the Weimar Republic collapsed and new political alternatives like the Nazis gained popularity by promising solutions.

Weimar Germany and Nazi Germany Notes - Thomas Vanderstichele

2) In the early 1920s, Germany experienced extreme political unrest and violence, as well as hyperinflation that destroyed the economy. The Nazis used this instability to grow their party and message of German restoration.

Second world war
The Second World War was a global conflict from 1939 to 1945 involving two military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the deadliest war in history with over 100 million military personnel mobilized. Germany invaded and overran France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg in 1940 using Blitzkrieg tactics. Eventually, the Allies defeated Mussolini and implemented strategies involving the Soviets, Americans, and British to defeat Germany, culminating with Hitler's suicide as the Soviets closed in on Berlin. Around 60 million people died during the war, including 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians.
Fascist Aggression Leading Up to WWII
Italy expanded its control over Africa in the 1930s while Germany increasingly violated the Treaty of Versailles by remilitarizing the Rhineland and annexing Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia. Japan also grew more aggressive during this time, invading Manchuria in 1931 and seeking to drive Western powers out of Asia as part of its goal to dominate the region and gain access to resources and living space. The League of Nations condemned these acts of aggression but was unable to stop them due to lacking enforcement powers.

1. Long Term Causes of WW1.pptx
World War I was caused by long-term tensions in Europe that built up over decades prior to 1914. There was rising nationalism among European powers which increased rivalry and tensions. Countries formed alliances that entangled them in a web of defense agreements, and a system of alliances pulled the major powers into war in August 1914 when fighting broke out in the Balkans. The war resulted in over 20 million deaths and changed the world order.
Pp27 world war_i__(31_years_of_disaster,_part_1)
World War I began as a local conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia but quickly escalated into a global war. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led Austria to declare war on Serbia, pulling in allies on both sides due to a web of entangling alliances. Germany launched the Schlieffen Plan to quickly defeat France but it failed, resulting in years of bloody trench warfare on the Western Front. As the war dragged on with no clear winner, new military technologies like submarines threatened to shift the tide but also risked drawing more nations into the growing conflict.
The road to wwi
The document summarizes the key causes of World War 1 in 3 points:
1. Rivalries and tensions within the alliance system in Europe increased the risk of war breaking out. Countries formed alliances that put them against each other and tensions rose due to imperialist rivalries over colonies and territory.
2. Internal dissent and unrest within countries from groups like communists, socialists, and labor unions added to tensions and instability in European societies.
3. As tensions rose, countries engaged in militarism and a buildup of their armed forces through conscription and increasing the size of their militaries, which further increased the risk of war.

Cornell notes 1 (ap outline)
The document discusses key concepts related to industrialization and economic development, including the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, and quinary economic activities. It describes how the Industrial Revolution began in England and spread to Western Europe and North America, establishing industrial landscapes centered around coal and later oil sources. Factors like transportation infrastructure, global trade, and theories of industrial location influenced where industries chose to locate. Over time, deindustrialization has occurred as manufacturing moves to less developed countries for cheaper labor and production costs, leaving rust belts behind, while service industries have grown in more developed countries.
Chapter 11 key issue 4
The document discusses factors influencing changes in industry locations in the 21st century. Two key industries, textiles and apparel, have increasingly opened production facilities in lower-wage locations overseas and in the southern/western US. This allows them to take advantage of lower costs. Additionally, manufacturing has concentrated in high-tech regions like California, Massachusetts and Texas due to access to skilled labor pools and research centers. Just-in-time delivery provides benefits for manufacturers but also risks from potential disruptions in the supply chain.
Chapter 11 key issue 3
1. Manufacturing has declined in traditional industrial centers in Western Europe and shifted toward Central and Eastern Europe. This is similar to shifts seen in the US, where manufacturing has declined in the Northeastern "Rust Belt" regions and increased in the South and West.
2. China has become the leading new industrial center due to its large pool of low-cost labor and establishment of specialized economic zones along its eastern coast that offer liberal economic policies to attract foreign investment. These zones have successfully drawn multinational corporations, as evidenced by pictures showing factories operated by foreign companies.
3. Manufacturing in Latin America is clustered in Brazil and Mexico, especially in Mexico's maquiladora regions
Chapter 11 key issue 2
This document provides an overview of factors that influence the geographic distribution of different industries. It discusses how industries tend to locate near important inputs or markets. Input-oriented industries like copper, steel, and coal cluster around resource deposits, while bulk-gaining industries producing large, low-value goods locate near consumers. Transportation costs and methods also affect industry location. The document examines labor-oriented versus capital-intensive industries and mentions textiles as labor-intensive. It discusses land, capital, and electricity as additional location factors.
Chapter 11 key issue 1
This document provides questions about the distribution of industry around the world. It asks the reader to identify the four regions that produce three-fourths of global industrial output.

Von Thünen's model from 1826 describes six concentric zones of agricultural land use radiating from a central market. The first zone consists of market gardening activities for heavy, bulky products like vegetables. The second zone is dairy farming as milk spoils quickly. The third zone is livestock fattening in feedlots. The fourth zone is commercial grain farming. The fifth zone is livestock ranching. The sixth zone is non-agricultural land too far from the market. The model assumes uniform land quality, transportation access, climate, and political factors.

2. A Javanese myth says that rice sprang from the buried body of a goddess named Tisnawati, with rice plants growing from her body.
3. A Malayan myth involves the descendants of a legendary king discovering golden rice growing miraculously in a field, a sign they had the right to rule.
These myths reflect the deep cultural significance of rice in Southeast Asian societies and attempt to explain its origins in
Indigo
Indigo arrived in Europe through Portuguese trade routes in the early 16th century, but faced prohibitions from powerful guilds representing native woad growers who saw indigo as competition. Despite bans, indigo continued to flow into Europe from both east and west as other European powers like Spain and France established indigo plantations in their new world colonies. While indigo was seen as superior for its deep blue color, it was also viewed with suspicion in places like Germany for being "corrosive" and "deceitful."
