Solidarity was a Polish trade union established in 1980 in Gdansk that opposed Communist rule. It demanded free trade unions and the right to strike. In 1980, the Polish government agreed to Solidarity's demands due to its popularity among important industries. However, in 1981 the government declared martial law and suppressed Solidarity when it became a political movement undermining Communist rule. Solidarity's influence grew the Polish economy declined in the late 1980s, leading the government to negotiate with Solidarity in 1988.

The Eucharistic Congress of 1932 was an international Catholic festival held in Dublin to celebrate the 1,500 year anniversary of St. Patrick's arrival in Ireland. Over 1 million people attended massive religious events, including mass led by the Papal Nuncio in Phoenix Park. The Congress demonstrated the dominant role of Catholicism in Irish society and the close relationship between the Irish government and Catholic Church, with laws passed restricting divorce, contraception, and censorship in line with Church teachings. It further solidified the religious and political divisions between predominantly Catholic Ireland and Protestant Northern Ireland in the wake of their partition.
Hitler and Nazi Germany - the nazi governmentmrmarr
Adolf Hitler took power in Germany in 1933 and established a totalitarian Nazi government, consolidating his control over time. He appointed key leaders to head major aspects of government, including Heinrich Himmler to oversee the SS and concentration camps, Joseph Goebbels as Minister of Propaganda, and Hermann Goering to head the secret police and air force. By 1936, Hitler had centralized power and aimed to prepare Germany for war within four years under the Office of the Four Year Plan. He abolished state governments, instead appointing his own regional governors to impose his rules across Germany.

He abolished state governments, instead appointing his own regional governors to impose his rules across Germany.
The Nazis consolidated power in Germany following their rise to power in 1933. Hitler established a totalitarian regime by bringing all aspects of life under Nazi Party control through intimidation, violence, and centralizing government. The Night of the Long Knives in 1934 saw Hitler order the killing of SA leaders as a threat to his power. With Hindenburg's death later that year, Hitler became both head of state and sole leader of Germany.
- The document discusses Belfast during World War 2, including its strategic importance due to its naval facilities and shipbuilding industry, and the devastating Belfast Blitz of April 1941 where German bombing killed over 1,100 people.
- During two nights of bombing in April 1941, waves of German planes dropped high explosives and incendiary bombs across Belfast, especially hitting working class areas and an air raid shelter, causing widespread damage and casualties.
- The Blitz had long term effects of consolidating Northern Ireland's position within the UK and further distancing the neutral Republic of Ireland, as well as stimulating postwar rebuilding efforts and investment.
Stalin organized a series of show trials between 1936-1938 known as the Moscow Trials. He used these highly publicized trials to purge his political opponents by accusing them of crimes against the state such as treason, sabotage, and assassination plots. The defendants, which included senior Communist Party members, military leaders, and former allies of Stalin, were tortured until they confessed to the fabricated charges. All were found guilty and executed, allowing Stalin to consolidate his dictatorial rule over the Soviet Union while spreading fear and paranoia among its citizens.
The Home Rule crisis in Britain led to political instability in 1909-1914. Nationalists in Ireland reacted angrily to the prospect of Home Rule being delayed again. Unionists in Ulster formed the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) to resist Home Rule, prompting Nationalists to form their own Irish Volunteer force to secure Home Rule for all of Ireland. The outbreak of World War 1 caused the implementation of Home Rule to be postponed until after the war ended.
Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 during the American Civil War, which declared that all slaves in Confederate states were free. The Proclamation did not immediately free all slaves, as it only applied to states that had seceded from the Union and were in rebellion. After the Union defeated the Confederacy, all slaves were eventually emancipated across the United States.
World War II had a significant impact on Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland played an important role in Britain's war effort by producing ships, aircrafts, linen and food. However, Belfast suffered extensive bomb damage during the Belfast Blitz of 1941, with over 900 deaths. The war economy led to a boom in Northern Ireland's industry and agriculture. After the war, Northern Ireland benefited from closer ties to Britain and the establishment of the British welfare state, while a growing economic divide opened up between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in the south.
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany through his charismatic leadership and nationalist rhetoric. He joined the German Workers' Party in 1919 and transformed it into the Nazi party, gaining popularity by blaming Jews and communists for Germany's defeat in WWI. After an unsuccessful coup attempt, Hitler was imprisoned but used his trial to spread his message. He then capitalized on Germany's economic struggles to rise legally through democratic elections before consolidating power and becoming dictator.
This document provides an overview of the Holocaust and key events leading up to and during this period of systematic persecution and genocide of Jewish people by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. It discusses the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis to power in Germany, the establishment of anti-Semitic laws and policies including the Nuremberg Laws, the confinement of Jewish people to ghettos, the use of concentration and death camps, and the Nazis' "Final Solution" to exterminate all Jews under their control. Over 6 million Jewish people and millions of others were murdered as a result of the Nazis' genocidal policies during World War II before the Holocaust ended with Germany's defeat in 1945.
The document outlines the key parties and events involved in The Troubles in Northern Ireland between the late 1960s and 1990s. The main parties included Protestant groups like the UVF who used violence against Catholic civilians, and Catholic/Nationalist groups like the IRA who also used violence in their campaign for a united Ireland. The British Army was deployed to restore order but their tactics exacerbated tensions, especially the policy of internment without trial which alienated Catholics. Key events included Bloody Sunday and the 1981 hunger strikes, while the 1998 Good Friday Agreement eventually established a power-sharing government and marked a reduction of violence.
The document discusses Lincoln issuing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which freed slaves in Confederate states. It provides background on Lincoln's evolving views on slavery prior to the war. Key reasons for issuing the proclamation included criticism from abolitionists, changes in public opinion, and a desire to undermine the Confederacy. The proclamation was opposed in the South but had mixed response in the North. It encouraged some slaves to escape and undermined European support for the Confederacy.
The Battle of Vimy Ridge saw Canadian forces capture the ridge from German forces in April 1917. The heavily fortified ridge had withstood previous attacks by British and French forces. Through careful planning, rehearsal of the attack, intensive artillery bombardment, and coordinated infantry assault behind a creeping barrage, the Canadian Corps were able to successfully take the ridge in a well-executed battle, suffering over 10,000 casualties but attaining an important victory that helped establish Canada's national identity.
Ireland declared itself neutral during World War 2, a period it referred to as "The Emergency". Eamon De Valera was the Taoiseach at this time. Though neutral, Ireland still felt effects of the war through censorship of news, rationing of food like sugar and meat, and shortages of coal that limited transportation options and required alternative fuels like turf. The document discusses both the advantages and disadvantages Ireland faced in remaining neutral.

Hvilke plager har du ikke av disse skumle
gudene som du selv har skapt deg!
Hvilke redsler til og med for små barn!
Ekte fromhet er jo ikke å varte opp med
religiøse fakter og nesegrus tilbedelse,
eller ofringer på altere, men å kunne
møte det som livet tilbyr deg med
sindighet.
Den romerske dikteren Lukrets
