Europe Goes to War
Relations between Britain and Germany deteriorated after the Munich Conference as Hitler continued his military expansion. Germany invaded Poland in September 1939 using lightning-fast "blitzkrieg" tactics to defeat Poland within a month. France adopted a policy of collaboration with Germany after its defeat in June 1940. Germany then targeted Britain but was unable to invade due to the English Channel and powerful British navy, instead launching an aerial assault known as the Battle of Britain. Though outnumbered, the British Royal Air Force held off the German Luftwaffe in a major victory.

Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945, believing Germans were meant to rule others. This belief led to World War II and the idea that Jews had no place in society, which led to the Holocaust.

By 1932 it was the largest party and Hitler became chancellor in 1933, later taking complete control and creating the Third Reich. Hitler's beliefs led him to restrict Jewish rights and send many to concentration camps, while also strengthening Germany's military in preparation for expanding the Third Reich through invading neighboring countries.

An Introduction to Number the Stars
The Holocaust resulted in the persecution and murder of 6 million Jews and others between 1933-1945 by Nazi Germany and its collaborators. Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany after World War 1 and established a racist totalitarian regime. He believed Germans were racially superior and that Jews were a threat. The Nazi government systematically stripped away Jews' rights, forced them into ghettos and concentration camps, and industrialized mass murder in death camps. Most victims died from overwork, starvation, exposure or gas chambers. The Holocaust demonstrates the dangers of unchecked racism and totalitarianism.
Influences on horror genre
The contemporary horror genre has been influenced by German Expressionism and Film Noir, which shaped how we perceive horror films through their visual styles. German Expressionism arose in the early 20th century in response to Germany's isolation during WWI and featured abstract sets and low lighting. Fritz Lang was among the most influential directors of this era, with films like Metropolis and M that blended expressionism with early elements of film noir. Film noir emerged in the 1940s-50s and was known for its low-key black and white visuals inspired by expressionism. Modern horror films still draw from the styles of expressionism and noir through elements like abstract settings and "femme fatale" characters.

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.
