Morphemes can be classified as free or bound, and as bases (roots) or affixes. Morphemes may have variations called allomorphs, which are selected based on phonological rules. The document discusses different types of allomorphs and provides exercises for students to practice identifying morphemes and their variations in English words.
This document appears to be a mini-test covering semantic concepts. It includes 8 multiple choice or short answer questions testing knowledge of topics like co-hyponyms, ambiguity, semantic features, sense relations, figures of speech, and analytic/synthetic/contradictory statements. The test asks the student to identify true/false statements, shared semantic features between word groups, semantic properties of individual words, sense relations between word pairs, homophones/homographs/homonyms in sentences, figures of speech used in sentences, and whether given statements are analytic, synthetic or contradictory.
The document discusses the history and development of artificial intelligence over several decades. It outlines milestones in AI research from the 1950s to today, including early work in logic-based systems, the development of neural networks, and recent advances in machine learning. Modern AI systems are increasingly capable of performing human-like tasks through vast amounts of data and computational power.
The document discusses how Germany was affected by the Wall Street crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression. It notes that Germany's economy was already weak before the crash due to short term loans. When the crash occurred, American bankers recalled loans to Germany, eliminating a key source of funds. This exacerbated Germany's economic woes, causing unemployment to rise sharply as businesses closed and exports declined drastically. The social and political impacts within Germany intensified as unemployment spread to workers across many industries. Economic hardship grew and discontent with the Weimar government increased.

Spanish Civil War, (1936โ39), military revolt against the Republican government of Spain, supported by conservative elements within the country. When an initial military coup failed to win control of the entire country, a bloody civil war ensued, fought with great ferocity on both sides. The Nationalists, as the rebels were called, received aid from Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. The Republicans received aid from the Soviet Union as well as from the International Brigades, composed of volunteers from Europe and the United States.
The document discusses the Treaty of Versailles signed after World War 1. It examines what each of the Big Three allied leaders - Lloyd George of Britain, Clemenceau of France, and Wilson of the US - wanted to achieve from the peace treaty with Germany.

Germany transitioned to a democratic republic known as the Weimar Republic after World War 1. The Weimar Republic lasted from 1918 to 1933, beginning after Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated and ending when Hitler rose to power. During this time, Germany experienced political instability, with the republic threatened by communist uprisings like the Spartacist Uprising in Berlin in 1919. The Weimar Constitution established democratic principles like proportional representation but also controversial measures like Article 48 that granted emergency powers.
Wemar Germany - long term effects of the treaty of versaillesmrmarr
ย
The long-term effects of the Treaty of Versailles on Germany and the Weimar Republic are debated among historians. Some argue that the treaty helped undermine the Weimar government by fueling nationalist sentiment and anger at Germany's leaders who signed it. This increased support for radical right-wing parties and contributed to the Nazis rising to power. However, others maintain that factors like the German electoral system, fears of communism, and the worldwide Great Depression were also to blame for the Weimar collapse, rather than just the treaty alone. There are arguments on both sides of whether and to what extent the harsh treaty caused Germany's political instability in the early 20th century.
The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the late 18th century and was driven by technological innovations, new energy sources like steam power, and increases in agricultural productivity. Britain was particularly well-suited for the Industrial Revolution due to its political stability, strong merchant class, accumulation of capital, supply of natural resources like coal and iron, and emphasis on practical science. The Industrial Revolution transformed British society, creating a large middle class and urban working class that faced poor living and working conditions. It subsequently spread across Western Europe and to the United States, profoundly changing social and economic structures globally.
The Yalta Conference in 1945 was attended by the leaders of the United States (FDR), United Kingdom (Churchill), and Soviet Union (Stalin) to discuss post-war reorganization in Europe. Some key agreements included establishing occupation zones in Germany, moving Poland's borders westward, and the Soviet Union joining the United Nations. However, tensions were already apparent between the US/UK and USSR over the future status of Poland. While FDR believed maintaining alliance with Stalin was critical for defeating Japan, Churchill remained skeptical of Stalin's intentions in Europe. The conference highlighted emerging divisions that would develop into the Cold War."
IGCSE REVISION - GERMANY: STRESEMANN AND RECOVERY. The Weimar Republic began to recover from 1924 with the policies of Stresemann. Stresemann had negotiated the Dawes plan which gave loans to Germany so as to rebuild industry.

The Congress of Vienna met in 1815 to construct an agreement that would lead to stability and peace in post-Napoleonic Europe. Through the leadership of Prince Klemens von Metternich of Austria, Europe was put on a path to a relatively peaceful century. It would be 99 years before Europe would be torn apart by another major war.
This document provides an overview of key events and developments in America between 1919-1941, including:

2. The 1920s saw economic prosperity for some but also poverty, fueled by consumerism, racial tensions, and Prohibition. The stock market crash of 1929 led to the Great Depression of the 1930s.
3. In response to the Depression, FDR introduced the New Deal which included relief programs and financial reforms aimed at recovery. While successful in some areas, the New Deal faced opposition and did not

World War I was a global war centered in Europe that began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. It involved over 30 countries and resulted in over 15 million deaths. The war started due to increasing nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and a system of alliances that drew the major European powers into war. The immediate trigger was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists. The war was fought mainly in trenches along the Western Front and resulted in new weapons and military technology but little movement in the frontlines, leading to mass casualties. The war had far-reaching political, cultural, economic, and social impact.

1. The Holocaust began in 1936 in Germany and lasted until 1945. Adolf Hitler rose to power as the leader of Germany's Nazi party in 1933 and instituted racist laws targeting Jews.
2. The Nazi regime created ghettos and concentration camps, where they imprisoned and starved Jewish people. They also conducted medical experiments on prisoners.
3. Over six million Jewish people were murdered in the Holocaust through mass executions, starvation, and gas chambers at concentration camps like Auschwitz. Allied forces liberated camps in 1945 and discovered the horrific atrocities.
The document provides background information on the Berlin Blockade of 1948-1949. It explains that Stalin cut off all land access to West Berlin in an attempt to force the Western powers out of the city.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
