Presentation1
The document outlines a lesson plan for high school students to learn about the rise and fall of Hitler over the course of a week.

Slap that!! 1
The document outlines the rules and questions for a trivia game about World War 2 and the Battle of Stalingrad between boys and girls teams. Players would slap the board to answer multiple choice questions about key details of the battle and the war. Correct answers scored points while incorrect answers lost points. Questions covered topics like the origin of Stalingrad's name, the fate of German prisoners, casualties on both sides, Hitler's reasons for targeting the city, and more.
Photo analysis
The photograph shows a group of German boys around 10-14 years old who appear to be part of a youth group based on their uniforms and coordinated hand gestures. It was likely taken in the 1930s or 1940s during Hitler's reign in Germany, making it historically significant. The photograph raises questions about the purpose of their group and meaning of their hand signal. Further research could provide more context about the photo.

IR 400 presentation
This document outlines a presentation about the role of external actors in resisting reconciliation efforts in Yugoslavia following the 1990s war. The presentation covers the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), focusing on statistics that show most indicted and convicted were Serbs. It also discusses the negative views of Serbs towards the tribunal and the influence of external actors like the United States, questioning whether international standards apply equally. Specifically, it examines US involvement in operations like "Operation Storm" that have not been addressed for crimes against Serbs. The conclusion calls for reducing external influence over the ICTY and applying international norms to all UN states to improve impartiality and end impunity.
The nation divides moemen 5c
Lincoln ran for the U.S. Senate in 1858 while tensions were rising between northern and southern states over the issue of slavery. Although Lincoln was not an abolitionist, he opposed the expansion of slavery into new western territories. The document appears to be a student report or paper discussing the divide in the nation prior to the Civil War and Lincoln's role as a politician opposing the spread of slavery.
Shot list
The document outlines 8 shots for a film documenting street scenes and a homeless person in London. Shot 1 is an establishing wide shot of everyday streets from a static tripod. Shot 2 is also a wide static shot showing cars, people, and reflections in a puddle. Shot 3 is a low-angle point-of-view handheld shot looking up from the perspective of a homeless person on the floor. Shot 4 is an extreme long shot of a homeless person from a distance across the street that moves in closer.
Appomattox cp
The document summarizes the end of the American Civil War. It describes how Union troops under the leadership of Grant and Sherman defeated Confederate forces in 1863-1865. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was pursued by Grant and surrendered at Appomattox Court House in April 1865, effectively ending the war. The terms of surrender allowed Confederate soldiers to keep their private property and return home without punishment.
Gandhi & his view
Gandhi did not initially demand freedom for India in 1920 because he believed in bringing changes to society first, such as equality and removing evil practices, before independence could have true meaning. He also had faith in the British at that time. By 1942, Gandhi started demanding freedom after the failure of the Cripps Mission proposals and the formation of the Indian National Army, as his earlier efforts like civil disobedience in the 1930s did not achieve his goals for India. Gandhi was visionary in that he wanted stability for India and did not want it to become a battlefield among world powers after British rule.
Martin luther king

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
