The European Defence Community was a 1950 plan for a European army to counter Soviet influence. It failed to be ratified, mainly due to opposition in France. French resentment of American influence, concerns over losing sovereignty, and the country's colonial war contributed to the plan's failure. Britain's lack of support for integrating its forces further weakened the proposal. The lengthy four-year ratification process also reduced the urgency for the defense community. Overall, French resistance was the primary cause for the European Defence Community not being implemented.

Internal problems and external pressures led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War. Ronald Reagan increased economic pressure on the USSR and his military buildup forced the Soviet Union to overspend on defense. Mikhail Gorbachev instituted reforms like glasnost and perestroika in the 1980s, allowing more openness and some market reforms. As the Soviet Union dissolved, independent states emerged and the Cold War ended.
Hitler and Nazi Germany - the end of world war one
World War One ended in 1918 with Germany's surrender. Germany was in a poor state after years of war - it faced food shortages, the Spanish flu pandemic killed 400,000 civilians, and a naval blockade cut off resources. In November 1918, Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated and Germany transitioned to a civilian government led by Friedrich Ebert. However, Germany faced ongoing instability and arguments over its future political system. The formal end to the war came in 1919 with the Treaty of Versailles, which punished Germany with sanctions like military reductions and war reparations.
Battle of Stalingrad
The Battle of Stalingrad took place in and around the Russian city of Stalingrad from August 1942 to February 1943. It was one of the bloodiest battles in history between German forces and allies against the Soviet Union. By the end of the battle, the city was 99% destroyed and over 800,000 soldiers had been killed. The Soviet victory marked a major turning point, lifting Soviet morale and reversing the German invasion.

REVISION IGCSE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY: HUNGARIAN UPRISING 1956
The Hungarian Uprising from 1956 was a revolt against communist control in Hungary that was crushed by the Red Army. The Hungarians revolted against their government because they were encouraged by Soviet leader Khrushchev’s suggestion that Moscow would tolerate different types of communism. However, when moderate Hungarian leader Imre Nagy announced that Hungary would leave the Warsaw Pact, it resulted in a Soviet invasion of the country to maintain communist control by force.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne who was assassinated in 1914 in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a member of the secret society called the Black Hand. Ferdinand had decided to visit Sarajevo despite warnings, and while riding in a car with his wife, their driver took a wrong turn and stopped near where Princip was waiting. Princip shot and killed Ferdinand and his wife, sparking conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia that escalated into World War I as other European powers took sides in the dispute.
The Holocaust
The Holocaust was the systematic persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its allies. Hitler wanted to create a superior race and targeted Jews, Roma, Slavs, homosexuals, disabled people and political opponents for persecution and genocide. The Holocaust progressed in stages from discrimination and ghettoization to the use of death camps for industrialized mass murder, where victims were killed using gas chambers and other methods. By the time the camps were liberated in 1944-1945, millions of innocent people had been brutally murdered in one of the worst crimes in human history.

Seeds of World War II
Germany's economic decline following WWI, due to war reparations and hyperinflation, led to social and political instability. Adolf Hitler rose to power exploiting German citizens' anger over the Treaty of Versailles and promising to restore Germany's economy and international prestige. He established a fascist dictatorship and pursued aggressive militarism and expansionism, violating the treaty. Appeasement by Western nations failed to deter Hitler, and war erupted in Europe in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
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.
