- ... faces the German people, it is a political question how shall the nation s determination be recovered?" (Bullock, 1962) Adolf Hitler posed this question to the German people in 1923. The face of post World War I Germany was truly battered, in all senses of the word. Germany had lost the war politically, which essentially meant emotionally. The country had no sense of leadership, and was suffering from many economic hardships. With the loss of the war, came the humiliation of the Treaty of Versailles. Within the treaty, many demands of Germany were made which nearly raped her of her economic capacities. Industries had suffered, causing great unemployment. With this unemployment ...

They will describe the basic technology and inventors behind the telegraph; following this the implication of this technology, mainly by Britain and France, into everyday practice will be discussed along with its effects. And finally, the effects on politics and economics leading up to the First World War will be discussed. Samuel Finley Breese Morse (Fig. 1), a North American painter and inventor, got the idea for the telegraph while traveling from Italy to America. He began work and patented the first successful ... fate of these?” I venture to reply, that in the postal and telegraphic services the empire of our Queen possesses a cohesive force which was utterly lacking in former cases. Stronger than the death dealing war-ships, stronger than the might of devoted legions, stronger than wealth and genius of administration, stronger even than the unswerving justice of Queen Victoria’s rule, are the scraps of paper borne in myriads ...
- 1354: The Problem of War and Peace
- The Problem of War and Peace Dear Mr. Secretary General, In conducting research for an essay that I am writing on constructive approaches to the problems of war and peace, I read a short, but thought- provoking fable by an unknown author. I would like to share that story with you, as well as my idea as a possible solution for world peace ... herself: "Perhaps there is only one person's voice lacking for peace to come to the world." In contrast to the several books I read for my research that detailed the cost and carnage of war, this one simple story moved me to want to add my voice for world peace and to think that maybe one person can make a difference for peace to come to the world. My ...

- ... affairs of the city. The Greek city-state contained a body of up to 500 jurors who would try cases. There also existed a body of ten elected generals who would oversee foreign policy and war. One such elected general of Athens was a political idealist, Pericles. Pericles had singular control of the Athenian democracy and was involved in a war against Sparta and its allies that was concluded in 446- 445 B.C.. After peace was declared, he tightened Athenian control of the empire. “He crushed major rebellions, imposed democratic government, dispatched colonies of Athenian citizens to strategic areas, and made tribute collection (the main source of Athenian wealth) more efficient. Convinced of the inevitability of war with Sparta and the Peloponnesians, Pericles made an alliance with Corinth's enemy, Corcyra , knowing that it could lead to armed hostilities. He refused Sparta's demand that he revoke the Megarian decree, which ...
- 1356: The Government's Spending Plan To Reduce The Budget Deficit
- ... on a local level the more likely they will be to insist that they get their money's worth. Inadequate funding for schools and salaries so low that they fail to attract competent individuals to civil service jobs ultimately cost the citizenry more than would a tax increase. Because Americans are not willing to spend the appropriate amounts at the local level to assure that salaries for teachers and civil servants are sufficient to attract the best and the brightest, they are doomed to dissatisfaction with their local governments. In Zeisler's view, the majority of the troubles that citizens complain of come as a ... system that forces "intellectual producers"--who most often live on straight salaries, without capital gains and exemptions--to bear the greatest relative tax burden and ultimately draws the able and educated away from schools and civil service and into business. Without incentives to keep qualified individuals in careers like education and civil service, the tax system risks sacrificing the long-term health of the whole for the short-term gain ...
- 1357: The Henchmen: German Government Officials in WWII
- The Henchmen: German Government Officials in WWII Many people have contributed to the cruel treatment of human beings, specifically Jews, in Nazi Germany during the second World War. This is a report on the damage carried out by some of the Nazi criminals working under the rule of Adolf Hitler. Many people contributed in Hitler's attempt to carry out his 'Final Solution'. Among these people are Ernst Roehm, Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Himmler, and Hermann Wilhelm Goering. While I discuss how they partook in World War Two, keep in mind their actions will, and have, left a mark on the world forever. Little is known about Ernst Roehm's childhood. He was a quiet boy who never went looking for trouble ... he is quoted as saying to reporters after they burned down a kosher diner, in which he also had the left side of his nose shot off, "Since I am an immature and wicked man, war and unrest appeal to me more than order." In one incident, Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Goering, heads of other Nazi divisions, jealous of Roehm and the rest of the Brownshirt's public popularity, even ...
- 1358: Kurt Vonnegut--slaughterhouse
- ... 250,000 people had been killed by the combined forces of the United States and the United Kingdom. Dresden was different then Berlin or many of the other military targets which were attacked during World War II because it was never fortified or used for strategic purposes and, therefore, was not considered a military target. Because of it's apparent safety, thousands of refugees from all over Europe converged on Dresden ... fate, had been spared. He wrote Slaughterhouse Five to answer the question that resounded through his head long after the bombs could no longer be heard. "Why me?"- a frequent question asked by survivors of war. Vonnegut was tormented by this question and through Billy Pilgrim, the protagonist in Slaughterhouse Five, he attempts to reconcile the guilt which one feels when one is randomly saved from death, while one's friends ... Billy's guilt made life so unbearable that he could no longer live with himself and he rejected the life that had been granted to him. There was no answer to Billy's question because war is not logical, nor is it just. Never could one give a justification for the fortuitous slaughtering of the innocent, which claimed the lives of Dresden's inhabitants. This idea is exemplified in the ...

- ... United States. It was the first time a Republican was elected since Herbert Hoover in 1928. The Eisenhower administration started at a rather awkward time, both politically and economically.
