1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany which made end.
Around 1933 the Nazis became in control of the Government of Germany which made traditional events and ended constitutional freedom. This date was also when Adolf Hitler became the Dictator of Germany under the strict Nazi rules. All of this was made by passing the act of Reichstag which would hand the constitional functions to hitler which includes the ability to make laws, dominate budget and accept treaties from outside goverments. When Hitler took over power, he claimed that he would creat great peace with Great Britain, France and Russia but in order to pass this act he would need over 30 non Nazi votes to pass the act and he did it by creating dishonests promises to the Catholic Center Party. This made the population think that Adolf Hitler was such an positive and good person to look up to, but he lied to majority of the population, On top of this, democracy became to an end and this meant 100% total control for the Nazi and many were applying to become in part of the Nazi party. Many people were for Hitler, which included: Bureaucrats, Industrialists literary figure and many more. On the other side, not every one was in support for Hitler, there were many who left the country for good and other stayed in their home county living concerned. This was how Adolf Hitler became the dictator of Germany, by acquring major respect and power from the public.
2. “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
In my opinion i don’t necessarily agree with this qoute at all because i think if the events that happened during the war or as you can say the battles that occured happened outside Europe, it would just cause more countries to become involved in and many more problems would be made with the economy, educatiom, jobs, governement and many more. This would be why i think the two world war wouldn’t require outside intervention to settle or make peace.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
World war one and World War two were very different wars that had different causes, period, casualties, methods of warfare, outcomes and many more. World War one started in 1914 until 1918 which lasted 4 years, meanwhile World War two started in 1939 until 1945 which lasted 6 years. The cause for World War One were mainly the assasination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand on June 1914 also the 4 main causes of Militarism, Alliance, Nationalism and Imperialism on the other side World War Two was caused due to unstable economy in Germany, the Treaty of Versailles which it self ended the World War One and the rise of Hitler and Nazi. Main countries that were involved in World War One were Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey which were the Central powers and countries against the Central powers were the Allies, which consisted of France, Britain, Russia, Italy and Japan. Meanwhile in World War 2 it was: Germany, Italy and Japan against France, Britain, U.S, the Soviet Union and China. when it comes to casualties, at the end of World War one there over 10 million dead soldiers and civilians included, at the end of World War 2 there over 60 million deaths also soldiers and civilians included. One thing that caught my attention also was the reason why countries fought in these bloody wars, in world war one nations were in a big dispute for land and sources, in World War Two the idea of fighting in the war was the Fascism and the Communism. So as you can see World War One and Two are very different wars.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
ReplyDeleteAdolf Hitler was the main leader in the Nazi party. The Nazi party consisted of many basis ideas and these ideas were to keep short and easy to understand according to Hitler. These ideology of the Nazi were the ideas that kept the Nazi up and running. Also these ideology were created to make Germany improve their economy and military since the the Treaty of Versailles bought Germany to a complete crisis. So this would be the importance of ideology for the Nazi and Hitler.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
The Scandinavian country was a country consisted of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. During the World War two the three nations were invaded by the Nazis, ruled by Hitler. Denmark was attacked by the Nazis in 1940 due to richful resources Denmark had and on top of that, a point of interest to start an invasion in Norway. The Nazi owned Denmark for 5 long years which eventually the Nazi surrendered and Denmark no longer had control of Iceland which they became independent. Sweden on the other side remained completely neutral which they actually helped the Nazis by letting the troops travel through Sweden into Finland. Sweden also sold major resource of iron to the Germans which was a huge supply and this was a big assistance because when Germany started to lose power, Sweden helped them, Sweden didn't have a really bad outcome with the Nazis. Last, Norway was invaded the same year as Denmark was invaded in 1940 also for the same reason, resources. The Nazis also used Norway as a major naval base
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
After wars, countries social and economic tend to change, specially with World War Two. One great example is Germany it self, with the Social changes, Hitler wanted the Germans to have the same perspective as Hitler had which was to have major power and kill Jews. Hitler also had a good view towards the woman which he wished that woman should stay home and take care of their kids instead of working also one thing that caught my attention while researching was that Hitler created a policy where each family must have 4 children! Now towards the economic changes, Hitler’s main goal was to get German’s economy back up on their feet, their economy was in state of crisis due to the Treaty of Versailles also make more jobs, at that time there over six million unemployed, Hitler managed to lower this number to 2.5 million unemployed in just less than 2 years. So these are the changes that weer bought thanks to the second World War.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
Hitler had many different policies for the Germans who lived under Hitler’s rule, Hitler had a different view towards woman which he gave woman the right to not work but only stay home and raise their kids. Hitler also wanted to give Germans living space due to population which was increasing out of control. Now economics was pretty obvious, after the Treaty of Versailles, Germany faced economy crisis and most of its military power were taken away, Hitler’s policy was to turn all of this around and get German’s economy back on track and military power back on place. Last, towards religious policies, Hitler was a catholic since he was a baby. When becoming an Nazi, Hitler’s policy was to gain major control over these catholic churches, he attempted to take over many different churches and turn them into Nazi based churches.
8.Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
ReplyDeleteBoth, Mussolini from Italy and Hitler from Germany had foreign policies which they demanded the nation to over come. Hitler’s foreign policy was to get rid of the Treaty of Versailles, this Treaty was a total nightmare for Germany, Hitler also wanted to reunite Germany all back together again where back in World War One Germany was split up, many Germans left Germany to live in other nations like Poland, Austria and Czechoslovakia. Another policy was to develop more land onto the east. Hitler also disengaged himself from the World Disarmament Conference, so at the end, all Hitler wanted was for Germany to get major power back, he wanted Germany to be the strongest nation in Europe. Mussolini from Italy, had quiet different policies, Mussolini was a leader who was looking more into resources, he wanted to achieve land which contained resources such as iron ore and oil, richful lands to grow grain, and at last increase their military. At some point in 1936, Mussolini allied with Hitler which they worked together to expand their power through out Europe.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
The Weimar Republic was created years after the world war One by Otto von Bismarck and it did not have a good start since day one. The Weimar Republic wanted to fix Germany’s economy which they managed to do but in a very slow process. The Weimar Republic had its weak points, they created a system of representation called the Reichstag and it had its good and bad sides to it. Hitler took extreme advantage of the weak points on trying to demolish the Weimar Republic. The Weimar Republic took a really bad decision which was by accepting the Treaty of Versailles, at this time Germans felt humiliated. The Weimar Republic slowly started to fail when the high amount of unemployed started to increase. This was when Nazi took over Germany, proving Germans, Weimar Republic was no good.
10. In what ways did Facism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
When Facism was the new for of Government in Italy under Mussolini, he also had ideologies like Hitler’s but they each had different views from each other. Mussolini’s ideology with Facism was to bring an end to government corruption and political conflicts. Mussolini also had an Ideology which I thought was strict, he wanted every single Italian to believe in Facism and if you didn't believe in Facism that you would be removed from community. Now with Hitler, he was more into fixing the economy and getting power back to the military, he wanted Germany to get power back like they had back in World War One, so as you can see, they both had different views for their nations.

WWII
1.How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
Hitler had become Germany’s Chancellor back in 1933. Afterwards, Hitler had marched on forward to become the dictator of Germany. Hitler was able to become dictators of Germany for various reasons one of them being the Reichstag fire if February 1933. Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch communist, was accused of setting the Reichstag building on fire after he was caught with matches and fire-lighting materials. Hitler took advantage of the situation and used it as an excuse to arrest many of his opponents who were communist. It was also the death of President Hindenburg that brought Germany one step closer to dictatorship. After Hindenburg’s death, Hitler took over the office of the president and called himself the “Führer”, the German title for leader.
2.“The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
I can agree that the first and second world wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle. Throughout my studies of these two wars, I’ve noticed that the European powers fought each other until they reached their lowest point. It was then that they used the help of other countries to give them enough strength to continue on fighting their opponents. The US for example, had given the Allies the power to triumph over the central powers in WW1 and it was the combined forces of Germany and Japan that overwhelmed the allied powers in the first couple of years in WW2.
3.In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
Although WW1 and WW2 were global conflicts that resulted in the death of millions of people, their causes differ from one another. The alliances that many countries had with each other had started a chain reaction in WW1. Serbia had assassinated Austria-Hungary’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia in return. Germany was allied with Austria-Hungary, Russia was allied with Serbia, and the list goes on. Militarism, imperialism, and nationalism were also things that had triggered the start of WW1. WW2 had started differently. WW2 had started due to the failure of the League of Nations but and because Germany wanted to recover from the humiliation it faced at the end of WW1. Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles which stated that Germany had to accept the war guilt clause and pay reparations. It was the many restrictions placed on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles that caused Germany to retaliate and attack Poland, initiating WW2.
4.Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
Ideology is the study of ideas and often “tends to refer to the way in which people think about the world and their ideal concept of how to live in the world”(wisegeek.org). Ideology was very important in the policies of Hitler. It was important because if he could get German citizens to understand and accept the concept of Nazi ideology, then he would have more people who would be willing to follow him and would be alright with him being in power. Hitler had promised to rebuild Germany which he thought would be accomplished through his ideals. It was then that he gained a great amount of support because many people had just wanted Germany to recover from the devastating effects of World War 1.
5.Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
ReplyDeleteOne Scandinavian country that Hitler had an impact on was Sweden. Sweden for the most part remained neutral during WW2. How could a neutral county be impacted by Hitler? Well to begin with, Germany had enforced neutrality on Sweden and wanted Sweden to also abide by whatever Germany said. Sweden was also impacted by Operation Weserübung; an operation in which Germany would seize Denmark and Norway at the same time. This operation had caused a blockade and isolated Sweden from the west of the world thereby forcing Sweden to be more reliant on Germany.
6.How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
Great Britain was one European country in which the Second World War had brought social and economic change to. After World War 2, Britain’s economy had changed drastically. The country went bankrupted and at the time, had a war debt of around $14 billion. Slowly but surely, the British were able to recover due to the US Marshall Aid program. Britain had also undergone a considerable amount of social change. Decline in birth rates indicated smaller households that were better able take care of themselves. People of the middle and upper class had also experienced change in the years following 1945. Prior to World War 2, it was quite normal for people of the middle and upper class to own butlers and maids to help around the house. After the war had ended, many middle class women began taking care of their households by themselves since many servants had gone to fight in the war. Wealthy families were sometimes forced to sell their mansions to museums, galleries, or even people who became rich after the war because they didn’t have enough money to keep them.
7.Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
Hitler had many social policies. His most important one would probably be the one regarding Lebensraum (living space). Hitler thought that Germany had the right to expand which he believed could only be done by force. Hitler had also created policies directed towards the roles of women. He believed in the accustomed way of family, where the women’s place was at home tending to the children. He had also urged women to have as many kids as she could in order to accomplish his goals of creating a pure Aryan race. Hitler’s greatest goal economically wise was to help Germany recover from the Great depression. He wanted unemployment to decrease and to have Germany fully employed seeing how there was about 6 million people without a job. The development of heavy industries had caused unemployment to be less than 200,000. Although Hitler was of Catholic and Christian faith, he thought that the church would sooner or later become an obstacle for him and sought out to create a new Aryan faith that would replace the Christian church.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
ReplyDeleteThe foreign policies of both Mussolini and Hitler were results from Germany and Italy’s resentment towards the Paris Peace Settlements. Germany resented the Treaty of Versailles because it placed too many restrictions on them and Italy resented the Treaty of Versailles because they were not given the territories they were promised for joining the Allies in WW1. The foreign policies of Hitler and Mussolini were also based on ideological views that emphasized the importance of national and military strength as well as territorial expansion. The differences that can be made between these two policies is that Hitler’s policies stressed the importance of race (specifically the Aryan race) whereas Mussolini had no thought on whom should be the “superior race”. Another difference between the two is that Hitler had sought out for lebensraum seeing it as a way to help Germany with its economic crisis while Mussolini’s colonial policy Abyssinia was more of way to make Italy look like a great power.
9.Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
There are a number of reasons why the Weimar Republic collapsed. One of the main reasons for the failure of the Weimar Republic was the Treaty of Versailles because it caused a lot of political debates and separation amongst the German people. Most Germans had resented the treaty but were set at odds on how to respond to it. Groups such as the NSDAP didn’t want Germany to recognize the treaty nor abide by its terms while others believes that restoring Germany’s foreign relations and striving for a reconsideration of the terms in the Versailles treaty would be the better solution. Another reason why the Weimar Republic failed was because the Germans weren’t used to having a democratic government and most of the population favored parties that were non-democratic. The Nazis were able to come into power by exploiting the weakness of the Weimar Republic and using propaganda to their advantage. Hitler was also a very charismatic leader and was very influential to the German people.
10.In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
Fascism and Nazism for the most part were pretty much the same in the sense that they were extreme forms of dictatorships. The greatest difference between the two is that Nazism was far more extreme than Fascism. In Italy, Fascism referred to the fascists under the rule of Mussolini who wanted to place the state above all else. Their top priority was to make the state the superior power in both nationalism and militarism. This meant that all people in the state were considered useful regardless of their race. The ideal of fascism was that “if you're in this state, then you're better than anyone outside it and therefore have a right to rule them” (buzzle.com). While the laws Fascism destroyed many privileges from most people, it did not require brute force to be enforced. Nazism in Germany differed from Italy’s Fascism because it emphasized mostly on race. Nazism believed that the Aryan race was the “superior race” to all the other races of the world. Nazism too, prioritized the state but also believed that state should be for the betterment of the Aryan race. The way in which Nazism enforced Aryan supremacy was both brutal and destructive, instilling fear in many individuals.

1.How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
The road to Hitler’s dictatorship in Germany all inaugurated on January 30th 1933 when he was first chosen as chancellor of Germany. To get to where he was, Hitler managed to persuade the Hindenburg president that the fire was constructed which burn down the Reichstag building, was due to the communist attempting to take over Germany. The president believing Hitler’s words gave in to his fear of communism. To defend his claim, Hitler had the support from his Nazi officials, who declared that Marianus van Der Lubbe(a communist member) was captured not far from the area of the Reichstag building just minutes after the fire began. Furthermore, they also stated that Lubbe revealed that, the fire was an indication to the other communist member to revolt. Hitler wanted to destroy the democratic country which Germany was. Hitler using the president’s fear as an advantage requested the president to allow him the use of the emergency power under the use of communist take over.
The president pass the Enabling Act which gave Hitler constitutional use to Reichstag. He now had possessed the power to create laws, control budgets,and dis or approve treaties created by other countries. As March approached Hitler had attained more power ever imagined which could have been accomplished by the old Weimar Republic. One year later on August of 1934 the Hindenburg president died, which give Hitler an opportunity to gain more power which, he took advantage of and became the Fuehrer and the Reich chancellor.
2.“The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
ReplyDeleteI disagree with his all the way through because both world wars had many countries that were involved in them and there weren't any outside intervention that help settle any of the conflicts. the countries that were neutral stayed that way and did not change the position. when it came to constructing peace treaties the treaties were constructed among the countries that had the made alliances together like france, Britain, Russia and the United States who were against germany. This is why i disagree.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
The causes of the first world war were Militarism, Alliances, Nationalism and Imperialism. Mostly, the war was mainly about countries stealing land, territories and trying to take over each other. And the causes of the second world war was The treaty of Versailles, Hitler’s world takeover attempt, Failure of Appeasement , and also the failure of the League of nations. The treaty of Versailles was very harsh towards Germany and her allies. Germany had to pay millions of dollars for the war, and just recently about Four years ago just finished paying it off. Hitler was power hungry, and in his path to his raise to power,he committed a holocaust and killed many innocent people.The main differences between the two wars is that one was developed on the quest for geographically power and the other was developed on revenge and vengeance and the instability of the counties after the first world war.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
The importance in the policies of Hitler was, it used other countries weakness as an advantage to move on to more power. Hitler created His policies to unit all nations with German speaking people and to dominate the world. Hitler’s policies had help him in reaching the power he had achieved as the dictator of Germany. And as his policies had progressed he was able to eliminate, the treaty of Versailles which as he view it totally unfair towards Germany.
5.Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
During ww2 Hitler had German forces accompany Denmark, mostly because it was one of the countries in the early stage of the war that wasn't against Germany. The Germans had sorted up a plan to help protect the Danish culture and its identity. So the Danished believed, until the brutality of the Germans was uncovered. The German soldier were every cruel towards the Danish citizens. They weren't allowed the very thing that the Germans were suppose to be protecting,their culture. So the people were fed up with it, and started to revolt, forming labor strikes Which took place in 1944, when the capital Copenhagen announced state of an emergency . Due to the strikes, the troops created a blockade by cutting the Danes water supply and electricity.To make matters worse,The Nazis(Hitler's S.S) were gathering up Jews that lived there and sending them to concentration camps. The Danish fought and rescued them. out of 8,000 Jews only 479 died.
6.How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
ReplyDeleteGermany’s social and economic state was at an all times low after the first world war. It was all due to the treaty of Versailles, with had taken everything away from her. she was stripled of her colonies which had affected her economy because they couldn't trade anymore and socially the country was depressed, due to the lack of resource it had. But during world war 2 that all changed. Germany was in all times top with its economic and social status. Hitler had attain more colonies which boost up the economy with new resources and trade. and her social status, because the people had a leader that they could communicate with, that was before he went world domination power hungry.
7.Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
Hitler had created many policies during his era of power in Germany. One of his most major social policies was Lebensraum, meaning living space. One of Hitler’s goals was to gather all of the German speaking people and place them in Germany. Within this goal he also wanted the expansion of Germany, so he carried this out by colonizing throughout Europe. When it came to Hitler’s economic policies he had several, abolishing independent unions,creating subsidies for employers to attain more employees,and increasing the amount job opportunities available also homes. Due to these policies Germany was able to recover from the depression it suffered from, due to the treaty of Versailles. Hitler was born into a christian household, so when it came to his religious policies, christianity was what they portrayed. Hitler believed in the importance of family ,because of this he passed the policy of men working to provide for their family and women staying at home and taking care of the house and the children. He was a bit old fashioned.
8.Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
when comparing and contrasting the foreign policies of Mussolini and Hitler it turn out that they were some what similar. Both Mussolini acknowledged how important it was to on good terms with Britain, because they needed help from her economically and socially. Britain contained the power to help advance their countries. When mussolini decide that he wanted to expand Italy’s territorial gains, he aggressively went and take charge. During this time Hitler was also on the raise,of reestablishing Germany and gaining back all the territories she lost. So he need allies and it happen that Italy was on the market and also on the same track as he was.
9.Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
ReplyDeleteThere is a variety of reasons to the downfall of the Weimar Republic and Nazi dictatorship. One of the reasons for the Weimar Republic was the treaty of Versailles. Due to the treaty's harsh demands, many nationalist groups in Germany like the NSDAP did not want to recognize nor follow it. Then you have some others like the moderates an pragmatist who wanted to , which cause lots of debates and leading to the economy to crash. And also leaving Germany unarmed to invasion or war. One of the Reasons to the collapsing of the Nazi dictatorship was that Hitler got to egoistic about his achievements for Germany. He thought he was unstoppable and did not pay much attention to his enemies, which Britain used to her advantage and brought him down.
10.In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
In the ways that Fascism and Nazism were different was, Fascism was more of an extreme way to perfecting a country, using all of its citizens and not discriminating them base on race or religion. Nazism on the other hand was more control over a country,while also power hungry.And erasing anything that doesn't appear in that image, in Germany’s case was the Jews. Im not saying that Fascism in Italy was better, but Nazism was more harsh and took many lives of innocent people.

1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
ReplyDelete- Hitler became a chancellor (a senior state or legal official) in January 1933 after Germanys years of struggle from World War one. But don’t get me wrong Hitler had wanted power many years before he became the chancellor in fact he had wanted power in the 1920s. In order for him to have actually gain the power of Germany, he would have had to convince Germany that he’s capable of leading the country in the right direction and that he has the solution to their problems. The time he wanted power was around the time Germany was suffering economically due to World War One. He also shared similar hatred for the Treaty of Versailles just like all the other Germans did. Not to mention about the Weimer Republic (founded in 1919 and was a replacement for the imperial form of government) being weak at the time, so lets just say all odds were in Hitler’s favor. But the biggest cause to how Hitler was able to rise to power in Germany was that they were suffering economically. But those are only reasons to why he was able to get to power, now let me tell you how he used it to his advantage. Hitler led many people to believe that if they allied with him, they too could rise to power and popularity. Hitler took advantage of the new technology such as planes and cinemas. He created slogans people wanted to hear, and it’s not like they appeared only in newspapers. They appeared in multiple places such as newspapers, cinemas, and posters. He put them everywhere, so they were practically unavoidable. Hitler also had strong public speaking skills and knew how to provoke the crowd. He ended up making them hate the treaty of Versailles more by putting blame on certain sections of society and that’s what the people wanted so Hitler had a large chance of being voted into power. This is how Hitler became dictator of Germany.
2. “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
- I agree with this quote. I say this because both wars were civil wars on European lands trying to fight for their rights. I just wouldn’t say the involvement of outside intervention was what was needed to stop the wars or “settle”. But it was barely because of outside intervention that the wars ended, I would say it of ended sooner or later even without help from the U.S. But it is a coincidence that the wars seemed to have ended once outside intervention get involved. That’s the reason why I agreed with the quote. When the U.S joined into World War one it happened to be a valuable asset to the Allies and actually helped with the win. And for World War 2 the U.S provided valuable resources, which helped the Allies greatly in the war. So this is mostly why I agree with this quote because they were civil wars on the European front that need outside intervention to end them.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
- Well 1 long-term cause that was leading to World War 2 was the angered Germans about the treaty of Versailles. Another long-term cause leading to World War 2 was the lack of effort and efficiency for the League of Nations to keep international peace. Hitler noticed the weakness and went against the restrictions of the treaty and started to expand the army and guess what the world’s powers did? Nothing. Hitler was real confident in what he was doing. I say that because most of the things he did that went against the Treaty the World’s powers did nothing to stop him except for when he tried expanding east. That’s when they got involved. But since we’re stating the difference Germany being involved is no difference. The only difference between both wars was that everyone was not involved, which in fact, the League of nations should have stepped up and stopped Hitler but they didn’t and it was to late to react.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
ReplyDelete- From my perspective ideology (a system of ideas or ideals) was in a lot of Hitler’s policies. Just like his religious policy or any of his policies. I can even say he used Ideology to rise to power in Germany. For example, he came up with the idea of putting ads all over the state of Germany everywhere saying things the people wanted to hear so he can then rise to power. He believed that would help him, and obviously you can see that it did help.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
- Norway and other Scandinavian countries decided to go with the policy of neutrality. They had seen that it worked for other countries during the first war so they wanted to follow that policy in an attempt to not become part of the Second World War. But Hitler had other plans for Norway. He invaded Norway and it was considered to be a daring attempt considering the German resources they had to use. But they succeeded and the threatened Great Britain and North America because it let them know that Germany military strategic plans were good and it worried them because with him taking over Norway he could then go for Iceland, Greenland and even possibly some of the North American continent. But during the war, Norway was bombed due to the Germans occupying it and other countries wanting the Germans to lose. A lot of buildings, factories, and towns were destroyed and burned down. Food and supplies came in short and a lot of people had a rough time in Norway during the Second World War. Even then Hitler had put a Nazi government system in place and took out their old government. A lot of people broke the laws by spreading rumors in newspapers or helping other escape the country going into Sweden and by them doing this they faced being sent to camp.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the Social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavian?
- In Great Britain they didn’t lose as many men as they did but in fact, they did lose a lot of civilians. Economically, Britain was put in debt of about 14 billion dollars. They were able to pay that off quicker than last time due to a organization that helped them. Wages had increased 30% since 1939 and prices barely rose at all. For their social changes, families were becoming more isolated. A regular family would eat together at the dinner table. But after the war they started to eat separately therefore making them more isolated from each other. Upper classes and middle classes usually had maids but you started to see less of them and the mothers soon started to do the maids work. The fathers who went to war to supply for the family couldn’t find jobs after the war. So Britain was going through a hard time after World War 2.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
ReplyDelete- One of Hitler’s important social policies was argued to be Lebensraum (living space). He had wanted to give Germans more land to live because he felt like the space they already controlled was not enough due to the growing population in
Germany. Hitler believed in order for him to gain land for Germany he would have to acquire it threw force. Hitler also had a strong sense of social Darwinism where the poor struggle and the rich survive, this is what some believe was a long term cause to World War 2 because it was in Hitler’s Foreign Policy. But that not all Hitler also believed in. He believed in a traditional family where the mother stays home to take care of the kid and the father works to support the family. Hitler had some pretty high aims for his economic policy. He wanted to save Germany from the depression they were going through at the moment and he wanted to bring back full employment to the people of Germany. For Hitler’s Religious policy he felt that churches were going to be problem and affect his greater vision of the world. Even though he was born a catholic and shared values with Naziism and Christianity. He wanted to replace Christian churches with a new Aryan faith.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
- Well first off, let me say that Mussolini did not trust Hitler and that he didn’t want Germany to over power Italy. But other than that, both Hitler and Mussolini were fascist leaders, both did act against the League of Nations and both did in fact, think it was smart to try and ally with Britain since it was scared of another war. Differences in their foreign policy was when Mussolini made a deal with the French and it was “to stand shoulder to shoulder” against Germany so they couldn’t expand into Austria which in fact spoiled Hitler’s plans. But on Hitler’s terms, he was suppose to sign a treaty with the Russians since they had become allies in World War One but since they lost land to Poland Hitler then went to Poland and signed a treaty with them instead of Russia. Doing this caught Britain’s attention. Britain thought that the way Germany stood up to communism was good and offered Hitler to size his naval army to 35% of Britain’s which was good because it went against the Treaty of Versailles and helped Hitler try to reach his goal of releasing Germany from the strict rules that was put on them. Some more similarities were that both wanted to expand their empire since land was annexed from them. But both Germany and Italy didn’t decide to work together until after the Spanish civil war.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the Establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
- After the revolution in 1918, a lot of the political system was changed except for the social structure. But again for the political system the monarchy was destroyed and in order for them to have keep the Republic meant that they would have to change a lot of things. But the Republic never did any changes to try and survive. A big thing on how the Republic collapsed was because they lacked discipline and faced international humiliation. They faced international humiliation when the Republic agreed to sign the Treaty of Versailles. This angered all the people of Germany. Best believe Hitler had also mentioned these in his propaganda and also said that the Nazi’s would wipe out the shame put upon Germanys name with the Treaty of Versailles. So you can see why the people voted for the power of Hitler instead of the Weimer Republic. Hitler was telling them things they wanted to hear.
10. In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
ReplyDelete- It was said that Italy was the elder when it came to fascism and this is something Hitler even agreed on because Hitler always admired Mussolini’s work. But that is only one way they differ. Since Italy had a more Fascist leader, they were more brutal unlike Nazism in Germany. But don’t get me wrong Nazism in Germany was still brutal it’s just that Hitler had more of target at getting rid of the Jews, gaining more land for his people, and destroying the Treaty of Versailles that gave Germany a bad name.

World War II
1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
Hitler was able to became dictator of Germany by running a campaign against the German people. In 1933, Hitler ran for president but he lost and Paul von Hindenburg won, than mistakenly appoint Hitler’s allies to be the cabinet chief. Hitler started to obtain power from other countries to make his own allies stronger. During the time, The Nazi Party was the largest party in Reichstag. Later, Hitler became the Chancellor and he ban the communist and which it supply him the power to pass bill, changing laws and he gain the absolute power. Then he started to move the country into a 1 party country, which is dictatorship.
2. “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
I don’t really agree because as the war occurred there are no outside countries or people help them, even though they required but still no one help. The war caused the countries had conflicts like economy and government issues. And by the way not all battles are happened in Europe and it happened in different countries.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
The causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War because they are two different wars and causes by different reasons. The causes of the First World War are nationalism, alliance, imperialism and militarism; also the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Militarism is the policy that helps maintain military establishment. Alliance is a formal agreement between two or more nations to cooperate for specific purposes. Imperialism is policy help extending the rule or authority of an empire or nation over foreign countries. Nationalism is the policy asserting the interests of one’s own nation viewed as separate from the interests of other nations or the common interests of all nations. The causes of the Second World War are the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler’s Actions, Failure of Appeasement and the Failure of the League of Nations. The Treaty of Versailles causes Germany be the starter of the war, force to pay the damage reparations, disarmament limited Germany’s power and given lands to other countries. Hitler invaded Poland and caused Britain and France alliances with Poland to declared war on Nazi Germany. At the end Germany withdraw from Poland. The League of Nations should use for world peace but in here it helped Hitler to make Germany great again. In World War 2, countries wanted to revenge and wanted to fight back what they lost in World War I.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
The importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler was refuse democracy, human rights and liberalism. Because Hitler is a dictatorship, which he wanted peoples to obedience his command and is so unfair. But the people’s rejection is useless. And Hitler is so rude over races of Jews.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
ReplyDelete The impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country was Denmark. Denmark uses to be neutral and is a major European power in WW1, but as World War II arrive Germany invaded Denmark and soon Denmark was under surrender. But King Christian X let them kept their countrymen and told them not to fight against the Germans. A Resistance movement happened Danish people started to volunteer fought the Germans and they began to grow their power go oppose the Germans by destroying and strikes. Finally, the Nazi took control of the government. Denmark along with Norway was the last countries Nazi occupied.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
The Second World War brought about the social and economic changes in Germany was huge because after the World War I, due to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany had to paid large amount of money for the damage and lands were lost/taken over. But as Hitler started his plan on the country, which helped the country raise both economic and social. The country started new trading with other countries and women can had a job.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
Hitler’s social policies were Lebensraum which is to expand Germany and putting all Germans in one place. Economic policies were very successful because Hitler brings Germany out of the depression. Hitler elected as the president of Germany and help Germany move on to be the most powerful nation in Europe. When Hitler makes Germany into a dictatorship country, the government took control of the profits and the productions of the factories. And also Hitler starts to launch both massive public works projects and turned on the military-industrial complex; which Hitler turns around the whole Germany economy. Last, Hitler’s religious policies were Germans should only be Christianity, because he was born in a Catholic and Christianity and Nazism. And to Hitler that family was very important.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
The foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler have in common was they both wanted to achieved great power position. Hitler goes forward for lebensraum, which he wanted to expand the living space for German people. And Mussolini wanted to take control of other countries to expand his own countries. And they both signed the Anti Comintern Pact in 1937 to go against the USSR. And also they both sign the Pact of Steel and agree Italy to join Germany for the war. But on the other side, Hitler was clear on what his aim and ideal are, than Mussolini was blur and opportunistic and also he realize he should not involve with Hitler.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
The reason for the collapse of the Weimar Republic was the Treaty of Versailles because German people do not believe in them and there are challenges from both left and right government. It also caused the economic to be low and finally Hitler rise his power, people blamed the Weimar Republic for all the loses and go under Hitler’s power. The reason of the Nazi dictatorship collapse was Hitler are arrogant of what he had done to Germany and forgot about his enemies at the back, which caused Britain to put him down.
10. In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
ReplyDelete Fascism is government system led by dictator. Fascism in Italy was led by Mussolini and it was a collectivist movement and during that time Italy was a nationalistic government. And putting all the people together without any racists’ problems. Nazism in Germany was against racist because of Hitler a dictator who only had Christianity and discriminated all Jews and put them to death. In Germany under the control of Hitler, what he said is law and people had to obey. From here can see Fascism give people more rights even though is under dictatorship, but in Nazism there is no rights and people were taken lives so innocent by Hitler’s hate over Jews.

1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
In ww1 countries were fighting for power and territory, which is what Hitler wanted to do with Germany to make it a stronger country and many people where in favor of his idea. Propaganda was also a big reason why Hitler became a dictator, it influenced people that Hitler was doing the right thing and the Jews had to be blamed. Hitler had tricked people into believing he was the right guy to be in control of Germany with his excellent speeches and he was a very smart guy who did anything he could to gain power. Hindenburg had made Hitler chancellor because Hindenburg’s friend, Franz von Papen didn’t have enough support in the Reichstag so the only opting was Hitler for support. Hindenburg had made a mistake of making him chancellor because Hitler had become unstoppable and there was no one that could stop him, which is how he became a dictator.
2. “The first and second world wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
I kind of agree with this quote because without the help of other outside countries the European civil wars would have lasted a lot longer and would have been worse. For example Germany needed money to pay reparations and if it wasn’t for the U.S. who knows what would have happened. Britain had also received great help from Japan; the reason why I don’t fully agree with the quote is because I don’t think that it was required to have outside intervention but it was very useful.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
The causes of the second world war where very much different from the world war one cause. The causes for ww1 began with the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria, which was a big situation. Militarism with Germany and Great Britain was also a cause for ww1. The alliance system had just created greater tensions with other countries because everyone felt threatened and imperialism and nationalism were also cause of world war one. One of the main reasons why ww2 had stared was because the League of Nations had failed which resulted in Germany in an unfair situation. Adolf Hitler wanted to make Germany a better and stronger place resulting in war. Japan, Italy, and Germany had made an alliance to go against the Soviet Union which just created bigger tensions.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
Ideology was the main tactic that Hitler had used in order to get what he wanted. He used it to get into people’s heads and make them think that he is a great guy who was doing the right thing for Germany when in reality it was the opposite. Without ideology in his policy I don’t think he would have had much success in becoming a dictator and having people support him.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
Germany had invaded first invaded Denmark in 1940 and had them occupied for a couple of years. Norway had also been invaded by Germany right after and there was no control over Iceland. There next plan was to get into Sweden who had been supplying Germany with iron since Sweden had been neutral. From there they got into Finland and had begun attacking the Soviet Union.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
ReplyDeleteWW2 had made a big impact on the European countries because of all the money and resources that was wasted on the war. Britain had lost $120 billion, Italy lost $94 billion, and Germany lost $272 billion. The economy had changed a lot in many ways. Industrial production had decreased and many people had been left unemployed and homeless. Everyone one had become desperate for food and needed money badly to support their families.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
Hitler had changed Germany to his view of life. Hitler believed that Germany should expand their land by force and he had a social policy called lebensraum. Hitler viewed a family as the women staying home, cleaning and taking care of the children. Hitler had convinced many people that the Jews were to blame and it was their faults. Hitler’s main goal was to fix Germany’s economy by lowering unemployment rates. Hitler had also created a four year plan which was created to have Germany prepared for war within 4 years. He also wanted Nazism in a protestant church.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the second world war of Mussolini and Hitler.
One of Mussolini’s foreign policy was to show how powerful Italy was as a nation. He believed that taking control over a foreign territory was the sign of significant power and a great nation. On the other hand Hitler wanted to get rid of the treaty of Versailles since it targeted Germany in a negative way. In the end they both wanted to expand their territory and have a stronger nation than everyone else.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
One of the main reasons why the Weimar republic failed was because they signed the treaty of Versailles which was too harsh on Germany that resulted in problems. The Reichstag had only worsened political divisions and make things worse overall. There was a group called NSDAP who were against democratic government and the group grew bigger and bigger in Reichstag finding its way into power. Hitler was in favor of the NSDAP and they used propaganda to gain power and destroy the Weimar republic.
10. In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideology?
Fascism in Italy was different because it focused on building a stronger, bigger, and better nation. Mussolini gave a speech that stated that he wanted a peaceful, quiet working nation and everybody in Italy had to follow this rule. Nazism in Germany mainly focused on politics and race. They wanted nothing to do with democratic governments and Hitler also had his own religion that he created. Jews were being killed because they felt like it was the right thing to do.

WWII
1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
Hitler was able to become dictator of Germany because of the German President Paul Von Hindenburg. Hitler was promoted to dictator after being chancellor after the death of President Hindenburg. When Hitler became dictator of Germany his title was Fuhrer which means leader. Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany but he wanted to have a higher power and he'd do anything to achieve that. President Hindenburg made Hitler chancellor in January 1933 but the President wasn't a aware of what Hitler was capable of. Hitler exploited the burning down of the Reichstag building to convince the President Hindenburg to grant him a higher power. Hitler placed the blame on the communists and warned that a communist takeover of the nation was going to take place. Marianus van der Lubbe was spotted near the Reichstag building after the fire started and that raised eyebrows because he was a known communist. Marianus was arrested by Nazi officials and they claimed Marianus said the start of the fire was the signal for other communists to begin a revolution to go against Germany's democracy. After Hitler convinced President Hidenburg of what the motives of the communists, Hitler became dictator after the death of President Hidenburg.
2. “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
I agree with this quotation partially. I agree that the First and Second World Wars were European civil wars but I don't agree that it required outside intervention to settle. Both world wars were created in Europe but I feel that if outside countries didn't intervene then the wars wouldn't of gotten as messy and complicated as they'd gotten. If it was just the countries that initially started the war that were solely involved in the war than it could have settled more quickly. I think it would've been better if other countries didn't get involved but I think it was inevitable that there'd be outside intervention because countries in the war can create allies. I believe both world wars could have ended sooner because it would just be a couple countries going against each other instead of numerous countries which would prolong the war and not settle it immediately.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
The causes of the Second World War differ immensely from the causes of the First World War. The cause of the First World War was mostly because of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie. That was the biggest reason for the outbreak of WWI. Other causes for WWI were militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism. WWII was not crated because of an assassination but because of various other things. A couple of the reasons of why WWII was created was because of the treaty of Versailles and because Germany's invasion of Poland. The treaty of Versailles was created in 1919 and was going against Germany. The treaty was harsh and Germany found it to be unfair. That was one of the reasons of why WWII was started because Germany would not stand for the unfair treatment. WWII was sparked by Germany's invasion of Poland and war was declared against Germany by Britain and France in September 1939.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
ReplyDeleteIdeology in the policies of Adolf Hitler was very important. Hitler always wanted to be in power and he'd be willing to do anything to acquire power. Hitler's ideology is nazism and he had a certain belief. Those with a nazism ideology had a common enemies which were Jews, communists, pacifists, gypsies, homosexuals, etc. Hitler wanted people of his kind only to adapt a nazism ideology so he would be able to create a following and be a higher power.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
Norway was a Scandinavian country that was impacted by Hitler and the Second World War. After WWII began in September 1939 Norway announced its neutrality along with Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Germany sincerely showed an interest in Norway's neutrality. Hitler said that Germany trading with Norway appeared to be possible even though WWII is a war that stretches over a long period of time. Germany was still able to trade with Norway even though Norway was neutral at the time if WWII.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
France was one European country that encountered social and economic changes due to WWII. After WWII ended France was weakened greatly. France didn't want to grant their colonies freedom because they didn't want to shorten their empire they wanted to keep it. Since France didn't want to give the colonies independence, there were conflicts that began. For example, one of the conflicts France created was against Algeria. After conflicts ended, all of the French colonies acquired independence.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
Lebensraum which translates to living space is said to be Hitler's most important social policy. Lebensraum was created in 1935 by Hitler which is German life rearranged to make people of his kind more comfortable and to deliberate a solution to 'the Jewish question'. When it comes to social policies, Hitler wanted to help Germany avoid the great economic depression. In order to achieve this Hitler wanted to decrease unemployment and make sure that full employment was in place throughout all of Germany. Hitler's religious policies were to have Germany on top. Hitler wanted people of his kind to be powerful so he exterminated all people who were Jewish along with other groups of people like pacifists.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
ReplyDeleteMussolini's and Hitler's foreign policies can be compared due to the fact that both leaders wanted to acquire greatness and power for their countries. Their foreign policies can be contrasted because it is said that Hitler's foreign policies were more radical than Mussolini's foreign policies. It was also said that the way Hitler was able to lead Germany caused Mussolini to be a bit envious.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
The reason the Weimar Republic collapsed was mostly because of the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was a treaty created against Germany which was harsh. The treaty stated that Germany had to pay reparation costs and also Germany was facing high unemployment rates which contributed to the fall of the Weimar Republic. Hitler was able to create a following by making a Nazi party which overthrow the Weimar Republic while it was at its weakest point.
10. In what ways did Facism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically in some ways. For instance, people who experienced fascism in Italy seemed to have had a choice of whether or not they wanted to join in on the fascism party. People who decided not to participate would pay serious and harsh consequences. On the other hand, German people who weren't Jews and were up to hitler's standards had to join the Nazi party mandatorily. Mussolini did not exterminate groups of people like the Nazis did which shows a huge difference in ideological views. Both Hitler and Mussolini wanted to implement their ideas into education to create an even bigger following in the future.

WWII Questions:
1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
There were reasons for Hitler becoming a dictator for Germany, first was the Reichstag fire in 1933. A Dutch communist named Marinus Van der Lubbe was accused of setting a fire on the Reichstag building. Lubbe was caught when police found matches and other fire materials. This situation made Hitler to accuse many of his opponents who were communist to be arrested for the Reichstag situation even though they were not the cause of the fire. Another reason of Hitler becoming a dictator for Germany was when President Hindenburg died and Germany was getting close for a dictatorship. So Hitler took over the office of Hindenburg and became a leader or a dictator for Germany.
2. “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
I agree with the quotation that the First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required intervention to settle. European Powers mostly fought with one another until they reached their lowest point. That is when Europeans needed help from other countries or create allies so they could get confidence and strength on beating their opponents throughout the war. For example, the U.S. gave the Allies power to succeed over the central powers in the First World War, after that Germany and Japan helped each other that affected the allied powers in the Second World War.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
In World War One, there were many different types of alliances that were being created and it was starting to create a chain reaction throughout World War One. First was when Serbia assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and it made Austria-Hungary very mad and declared a war on Serbia. Then Germany came in to the picture and allied with Austria-Hungary, after that Russia allied with Serbia, and it was the start of different countries creating allies throughout World War One. Another reason for the cause of World War One was Militarism, Imperialism, and nationalism that was important during the war. In World War Two, the reason of starting the war was different then the first, like it started with the failure of the League of Nations and Germany wanted to come back from a humiliating loss that they faced in World War One. Germany had to sign the Treaty of Versailles without any restrictions, and the treaty made Germany to take the blame of the war and pay a lot of reparations. With so many restrictions that was placed on Germany, they came back and responded by attacking Poland, because they just had enough with all this restrictions that they were facing.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
Ideology was very important in the policies of Adolf Hitler, if he could get many of his German citizens to understand and trust the idea of Nazi ideology, then he would have a lot of peoples support and accept him of having all the power in Germany. Hitler promised to his German citizens that he would rebuild Germany and make it a stronger country again. This goal was accepted by Germany with Hitler accomplishing the goals through his ideals. Many German people supported his ideals because they all wanted Germany to comeback from the effects from World War One and become a stronger country again.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
ReplyDeleteOne Scandinavian country that was impacted by Hitler was Sweden. Sweden was in the most part a neutral country during World War Two. Germany was able to neutrality enforce Sweden and made them obey anything on whatever Germany said. Another thing that impacted Sweden was an operation that Germany would get Denmark and Norway at the same time which was called Operation Weserubung. The operation caused a blockade and remote Sweden from the west of the world. This situation made Sweden to rely everything on Germany no matter what happens.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
After World War Two, Great Britain was in bankrupted and was in a war debt of $14 billion dollars. Slowly, Great Britain was able to recover economically with the help of the US Marshall Aid program. Great Britain faced a lot of social change, for example many regular families would eat dinner together, but after the war many families started to eat separately. So families were being isolated from each other. People from the middle and upper class faced some changes too in the following years. Many middle and upper class people has their own butlers and maids that were able to help around the house, but after the war ended, many women had to do all of the maids work just by themselves. It was hard for many fathers to find a job.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
Hitler wanted to expand Germany, which he believed the only way of doing it was by force. This was one of his important social policies which were called Lebensraum or living space. Hitler also created policies towards women roles, which he believed that a regular way of a family, where a women should stay at home and take care of the children. Another thing was Hitler wanted women to have many kids as they could so he could create an Aryan race, which was one of his goals. Hitler really wanted to help and recover Germany’s economy from the Great Depression. He wanted every German citizen to have a job and not being unemployed, with 6 million people not having a job the unemployment rate increased, but Hitler wanted it to be decreased. Hitler was Christian and Catholic, but he thought the church would eventually become difficult for him and sought out to create a new Aryan faith.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
Foreign policy of Mussolini and Hitler were resulted by Germany and Italy’s indignation towards the Paris Peace Settlements. Germany did not like the way the Treaty of Versailles were going towards them for causing World War One and Italy did not like the treaty too because they were not given the territories that the Allies promised them for joining with them in World War One. The foreign policies of Mussolini and Hitler had the same views with the importance of national, military, territorial expansion. The difference between the foreign policies of Mussolini and Hitler was that Hitler’s policies were into the importance of the Aryan race and Mussolini did not know who was or should be the dominant race. Another difference was Mussolini colonial policy on Abyssinia was a way for Italy to be a dominant country, while Hitler used lebensraum of a way to help the economic crisis in Germany.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
ReplyDeleteThere were many reasons for the Weimer Republic collapsing; one important reason of its failure was the Treaty of Versailles. The reason was because the treaty caused so many political debates and there were different point of view between German people with each other. Many Germans dislike the treaty, but did not know how to respond to it. For example, the Nazi Party or NSDAP did not want Germany to acknowledge the treaty nor obey by its terms, but others thought of trying to bring back Germany’s foreign relations and try to change the terms of the treaty of a better solution. Another reason of the Weimar Republic being a failure was that Germans were not comfortable of having a democratic government because mostly all the German people were non-democratic. The Nazis came in power by utilizing Weimar Republic weakness. Many German people thought Hitler had a charismatic and influential leader that they could trust.
10. In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
Fascism and Nazism were mostly the same but they were hard on their dictatorships. The only difference between these two was the Nazism was much extreme on the things that they believe than Fascism. Fascism referred to the authoritarian under the rule of Mussolini, who wanted Italy to be above of other countries by doing that, Mussolini used militarism and nationalism to gain more power. So Fascism meant that all the people are useful no matter what race there in. Fascism did not give privileges for a lot of people, but it was not forced to people like the Nazis did. In Germany, Nazism believed that the superior race of other races around the world is the Aryan race. Nazism was the same thing as Fascism as emphasizing Germany as a Aryan race country. The way Nazism did to enforce Aryan race was using brutality and fear to many people.

I.B History 11
1.How and why was Hitler able to become a Dictator of Germany ?
-First before we can get into why, we need to know what a Dictator is. A Dictator "requires one person and one party to be control of a nation and climate of fear". We know Hitler was good for putting fear into peoples mind from the cruelty he done to the Jews. Hitler was a powerful leader so it shouldn't have been a problem. January 30, 1933 he was the head of the government, but even so Hitler had thoughts that he wouldn't stay in this long term. Reason why he became a Dictator in Germany because he had support from the Weimar Republic. With this support he become chancellor, and even more of a higher chance President Hindenberg had died. Hitler had the power as a chancellor and President. At the end Hitler was the Fuehrer and Reich chancellor.
2."The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle". How far do you agree with this quotation ?
-In the European civil war, there were wars like Franco-Prussion war, Spanish Civil war, and there were the Japanese invasion in China. What they have in common is the outside intervention. I agree with the quote because all throughout the European war there were plans and nations going to other areas were they had no business being there. In the intervention also had to do with union/government, example of the European Union tried to help the nations(with food and resources). So yes I agree with this quote that outside intervention was a way to kind of settle, because even though there was a lot of action going on, with the intervention they tried to keep peace.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War ?
-Well the First World war was basically the destruction of Germany. In the First war, everybody thought Germany started the whole thing(even classmates), so Germany itself had to pay the biggest fine. They weren't the only ones to pay but Germany had the biggest impact. Germany also lost territory from treaties, and the one the Germans most hated was the "Treaty of Versailles". Going into the World War 2, Germany was coming back with an vengeance because of the causes that happened in World War 1. The actions in the First made Germany increase in power and brought a powerful dictator name Adolf Hitler. He wanted to destroy the treaty they most hated. Since Germany was gaining power, alliances and allies started to form again. At the end Germany failed again in war..and Germany are just now paying a debt that they just finished paying off a debt prior to this year. So to me I feel World War One caused World War Two because Germany didn't want to give up.
4.Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler ?
ReplyDelete-Ideology was views that somebody strongly believes in,like beliefs. Hitler had a lot of ideology that most people in that time period and now wouldn't agree on. For example getting rid of all the Jews. Hitler strongly hated Jews and made camps for them, where they were treated like crap. Also the "persecution of homosexuals", which is
weird because he was close to them, some of his closes friends were homosexuals. Another ideology from Hitler was Nazism also know as the National Socialism, and was mainly for the Nazi party. Since the World War 1 when Germany was striped for there land, Germany wanted it back. Germany called it "Lebensraum" which means living space. Germany was getting to overpopulated more. This getting more land can lead to a powerful nation, reason why Hitler liked the plan. This is some of the ideology Hitler believe in.
5.Asses the impact of Hitler, and the second World war on one Scandinavia country.
-One Scandinavia country that Hitler impacted was Sweden during World War 2. Sweden wanted to stay neutral. But Germany was planning an invasion on the "western allies". The invasion was on the Soviet Union, and Sweden helped Germany and the "wehrmacht" which were Nazi men. This was an impact because Sweden was just letting them pass and also sharing information, while training soldiers. What Sweden also did was follow with the hatered of Jews and sent them to concentration camps. There was about 8,000 Jews that were sent there because of Sweden, so they kind of formed an allainces better yet an ally. Hitler and Germany made an impact on Sweden, for there own greed.
6.How and why did the Second World War bring about social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia ?
-For one European country social and economic started to change. The one I'm going to talk about is Italy. Even though World War 2 was 1939 to 1945, Italy economic started to boom afterwards in 1950-1960s. For example the "Marshall Plan",which the United States help to restore and rebuild after the World War 2. Also Italy was trying to get there industrial production and which they did. Italy was growing and set records, and it was for several businessmen this wouldn't happened. Social changes was different because Italy did it mostly in the war. Italy had an "Italian Campaign". This was for "allied operations" for World War 2 and beyond. They were invasions too, and the only reason they did this because World War 2 was just about done, was like a last straw.
7.Evalute Hitler's social,economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
ReplyDelete-Hitler had policies for social, economic and religious polices for a long period of time. Most important policy for social could of been "Lebensraum". Lebensraum is living space, which Hitler started in 1935 and he first started in Saarland. People of Saarland wanted to come back to Germany, and while this was happening he was "announcing his hope for peace between Germany and France". Hitler really didn't care, all he wanted to do is buy time so his army can get stronger. Another one of his policies was to "encouraged women to have as many kids as possible". This policy took place in 1936, and there was a program called "Lebensborn" which means tree of life. It was crazy because ever SS member had to be a father of 4 kids. For economic wasn't all that good, because when Hitler was chancellor there was 6 million people unemployed, then in 1935 that number drop to 2 million and by 1939 there was a shortage of labor. Two things Hitler wanted, number one "rebuild the German economy" and number 2 "prepare Germany for war". Going with this, there were several problems mostly being money issues. Hitler just wanted to save Germany from the Depression,there were small policies to help the economy to increase, example of independent unions, hiring working sectors, servants and growth in the government for jobs. May 1933 there was a law that protected farms and this was good because production increase by 50%. At the end Hitler increased the economic was good and better them for war. Lastly religious in 1933 there was a new government and Catholic church so everybody respected each other. In 1936 the teachers were not to teach religion. The reason why Hitler cared about the church,mainly Catholic because he was born there. Hitler knew he can get power from that..even so he wanted to get rid of the Jews.
8. Compare and Contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
-For Hitler there policy was trying to get rid of the Treaty of Versallies because Hitler wanted to destroy it and really made Germany go into a pit. Also Hitler wanted to expand Germany, there population was growing heavily. Lastly Hitler wanted Germany to increase because the Great
Depression was ruining everything. For Mussolini which was from Italy wanted production, examples of iron,oil, and wanted to build there military just like Hitler wanted for Germany. What they both have in common is that they teamed up to bring power throughout Europe.
9. Analyze the reason for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
- It seemed like a fail from the start because of the Treaty of Versailles, which Germany didn't take very kindly. "By 1922 Germany was unable to pay quarterly reparations installments, triggering the Ruhr occupation, the hyperinflation crisis and the collapse of two governments cualitors. Reparations remained an issue for the duration of the Weimar Republic". Also there were groups, actually several of them that didn't support the Weimar Republic, groups like the KPD, the NSPAP and DNVP really don't believe in democracy. This itself was destroying the Weimar Republic from within, and this is the same tactic that destroyed Reichstag. In 1929 the economic started to go down, and the "German workforce" didn't have jobs. This is what lead to the dictatorship of Hitler, and said "Hitler and the NSDAP would likely have remained ob the margins of Weimar politics". Hitler was chasing power and with the supports of others he did, so in 1933 Adolf Hitler was named Chancellor.
10. In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany in Germany differ ideologically ?
ReplyDelete-Fascism and Nazism could be mistaking as the same because they both have dictatorship that collapsed in some put in time. What Nazism "emphasizes on race", mainly on Aryan race. Nazism wouldn't take nobody expect that race but Fascism would take anybody but only if they were good for the state. Fascism and Nazism both believed in nationality power, Nazism wanted to get rid of the "lower race". Another key difference is when you hear Nazism you think of Hitler and Germany, and for Fascism you think of Benito Mussolini because they were powerful dictators. For Benito his ideology was "consistent with Fascism itself, promoting the state all the way to the end". Hitler ideology "started off promoting the Aryan race, it eventually became the center of all anti-jew sentim
and the entire Holocaust". This was the differences for Fascism and Nazism.

1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
- Adolf Hitler was an Austrian born German who was the leader of what was called the Nazi Party. Hitler who was a veteran from the first World War, knew what was going to happen next and and he knew he had to do something. After WW1, Germany had an unsatisfactory loss, especially since they had an outrageous amount of money to pay due to the damages. They also suffered from communism as well as nationalism. When Hitler as well as Rohm who both were the top leaders in the Nazi Party went to prison in 1923, Goebbels, whom Hitler met when he was a member of the Socialist National Party was developing a campaign Hitler. In other words, if Adolf Hitler never met Goebbel, Hitler wouldn’t have so much power. After serving his time, Adolf was chosen as the chancellor of Germany in 1933.
2.“The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
- Within this quotation I do agree both the First and Second World War were European civil wars which called for outside intervention in order to restrain itself. Countries who were involved needed resources from others in order to regain what they lost as well as to pay any damages which was caused due to the war.
3. In ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
- The causes of the first world war differ from the causes of the second world war due to things beginning different. One of the major crosses in World War I was Germany itself for sparking up the events which led to the first great war. Germany in this case, was held responsible due to Germany annexing Belgium whom was protected by Britain. In 1994, there were two major groups of allies, The triple alliance consisted of Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary. The Triple Entente today was Britain, France, and Russia. These countries seem to have each others back as in protecting them in case another country came onto them but it wasn't all true. If I'm not wrong everyone believes Germany is to blame for World War I. World War Two was also caused by Germany annexing Poland, making everything more difficult. After all, came the Treaty of Versailles which called for Germany to pay due to their damages from the war as well as other countries that were involved. The league of Nations failed due to the countries not wanting to join, they had no power and to make it all worse, they didn't have an army to protect themselves. as you can see, both world war one and two at causes of which were different from both wars, not much on how they began since Germany where the top reason why these wars began.
4. Evaluate importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
ReplyDelete- Adolf Hitler had a system of goals he wanted to accomplish for Germany. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party which gave him enough power to have people obey him. Hitler seem to believe that if things were wrong it was due to the Jews, as well as homosexuals. After all, Hitler just want to Germany to come together and also expand Germany's land.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
- While Scandinavia was being occupied, Sweden remained calm. Even though, their main income was by exporting iron towards Germany. Germany informed Sweden to remain neutral, but still obey any demands which Germany makes. Sweden was also impacted by what seem to be called Operation Weserubung. Due to this, Sweden, wasn't able to the outside world which meant Sweden had to forcefully rely on to Germany regardless.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
- Germany's social and economic changes when downward after World War One, since they had to pay millions put a damages, not only did they have to pay but they lost a lot of land as well. Then, along came Hitler as well as World War Two, which seemed to help Germany since that was Hitler wanted. Next thing, Hitler had obtained some areas which were helpful towards the economy and merchandise.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
- Hitler had many policies between 1933 and 1939, which were to ignore the Treaty of Versailles, which was made for countries involved in the World War One and had to pay their damages such as Germany. He also wanted to gain Lebensraum in the east, which meant have anymore available space for the Germans. Since Hitler was in power, in Germany was going through depression, he gave many many jobs to construct building and he believed women should be at home with their families and not worry about a job. Slowly the economy was reviving those who were unemployed got help as well as the numbers were decreasing for those people who had no jobs. Religion was very important Hitler, he grew up in a christianity home, he knew how important family was and also those roles women and men had to provide
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
ReplyDelete- The foreign policy up to the outbreak of the second war of Mussolini and Hitler were quite similar since both men know the importance of having good alliances towards the British Empire. Both men has similarities what they wanted to do help their countries, such as expansion, for more land. Even though, Hitler know what he wanted. On the other hand Mussolini did a whole 360 when Hitler rose to power.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
-The Weimar republic collapsed due to their weakness not being on top of the problems they had to fix such as Germany's economy. Since, they were on that they were on the road to failure, and Germany was slowly recovering under the power of Hitler, the Nazis came into power and the Weimar republic failed towards their goals.
10. In what ways did Facism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
- Facism was initially characterized in 1914, when Mussolini was the supervisor of the daily paper "Avanti!", who challenge Italy's meditation at World War One, and actively fought against Germany and Austria-Hungary. On the other hand, Nazism, came into power in the 1930s, it was how Hitler replicated a few parts of Italian facism to fabricate his ideas towards government.

1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
- The anger from the Treaty of Versailles and WW1 created bitterness that attracted Hitler’s expansion and hate. The crisis of the weakness in the constitution took pace in 1929-1933. No one was able to stop Hitler. With the help of wealthy businessmen, Hitler was able to run election campaigns as well as his propaganda. The Nazi propaganda convinced the Germans that Hitler was their last hope. Everyone supported Hitler because he promised them all something. Hitler’s self-belief convinced people to believe in him. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 caused the Germany economy to collapse. The Nazi seats in the Reichstag increased from 12 to 230. In the elections of November 1932, the Nazis failed to get a big amount of seats in Reichstag. Hiddenburg and von Papen decided to offer Hitler the position of vice-Chancellor if he supported them. Hitler told them that he would only accept if they offered him the position of Chancellor. Hiddenburg and von Papen decided to take the risk and made Hitler Chancellor.
2. “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
- I agree with this quote but then again I don’t. I agree because both wars were European civil wars but they did not require outside intervention to settle because the wars were fought between the European nations until one of them eventually won.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
- The causes of World War Two were: The Treaty of Versailles, Hitler’s actions, the Failure of Appeasement, and the Failure of the League of Nations. The causes of World War One were: Alliances, Imperialism, Militarism, Nationalism, and Crises (the Moroccan crisis and the Bosnian crisis).
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
- The importance of ideology in the policies of Hitler was that he believed that linguistic and ethnic diversity weakened the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They also believed that military power is what helps great nations grow.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
ReplyDelete- After the outbreak of WW2 in September 1939, Norway declared its neutrality. On September 2, 1939, Germany sent a letter that announced that she would respect Norway’s territory but she would not allow a violation of the neutrality by another country. On October 9, 1939, Hitler claimed that Norway’s neutrality was assumed for the future and that it would be possible for Germany to continue to trade with the “Nordic States”. Norway’s neutrality didn’t weaken Germany’s interest in Norway. Hitler stated that occupying Norway was important.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
- After World War II, the Netherlands came up with the elaborate system of regulations and laws. This welfare system was developed to provide for the aged as well as to save unemployed breadwinners. This system became a constant source of income for a stable and big group. Tax incentives, government reduction programs, and high economic growth immediately reduced permanent unemployment to record lows. The unemployment advantages are adequate to maintain the recipients at a minimum principle of living.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
- Hitler’s most important social policy was ‘Lebensraum’, which is said to be living space. Hitler decided that he wanted living space when the citizens of Saarland voted to go back to Germany by an election. Hitler believed that the only way that Germany could acquire land was through force. Hitler’s biggest goal was to save Germany from economic depression. The recovery of the economy was accomplished by small policies like: domestic homes, the building of homes, a growth in jobs, hiring workers in the private sector, and the destruction of independent unions. Hitler had realized that the Church could be interference for his vision. He decided to replace the Christian church with a new Aryan faith. Hitler began with the need of a ‘positive Christianity’, which would help him gain control from the people that had power at the Church.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
- Mussolini’s foreign policy was to have Italy as a ‘makeweight’ power. Hitler’s foreign policy was to destroy the Treaty of Versailles. Both of their policies were a failure. They wanted power for their country but instead they caused destruction and humiliation.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
ReplyDelete- One of the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic was the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty was the reason of why Germany had many economic difficulties. The Germans were sad about their new socialist government. The communists were coming up with ideas to destroy the new government. They got help from the urban workers; they wanted to bring down the Weimar regime. The old aristocratic militants also attempted to bring down the new government but they were unsuccessful. This is when the NAZI party came into action. The Weimar government then had many economic problems. Many businesses collapsed because unemployment rates increased and the standard of living went downhill.
10. In what ways did Facism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
- Facism emphasizes on nationalism, to totalitarianism, militarism and corporatism. Nazism emphasizes on racism. Facism considers state as important and Nazism considers ‘Aryanism’ as important. Facism was based on political ideology while Nazism was based on racial hatred.

1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
- Hitler became dictator of Germany because the nazi party was huge in Germany and they were messing with the government that made people think that he wasn't for for the Job. Hitler saw his chance to show people he was a better government so he took it. Also Hitler used storm troopers to start fights with the communists and he made some people give up their rights for freedom, and surrandored to Hitler.
2. The first and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle?
- I don't agree with his quotation because many of the battles happaned in every other country including Europe. But most battles did need outside help to settle them. This is because their were many secret allies going on. So countries fighting alone needed outside help to support them.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
- The First World War happaned because of many things like the assassination of archduke Ferdinand and Germany having to much power. Also a big thing was imperialism witch was taking over countries and making them learn the language, the religion. The Versailles treaty was the end of world war 1 and the major cost of world war 2. The treaty angered the Germans and they felt like they needed revenge. The countries fighting in world war 2 were Germany, Italy, and Japan. They were fighting against France, Britain, and United States.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolfo Hitler?
- Adolf Hitler beliefs was that Germany was a better country in everything like military,their people, and maybe their religion. He also thought that Jews were the reason why they lost world war 1. He felt that they all should be put in concentration camps and be killed.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country?
- Adolf Hitler found Denmark one of the three countries in the Scandinavian country. Denmark had many resources that Hitler found useful. Sweden was another country that Hitler found useful because they had iron and that can bee used to build more tanks and guns that can be shippe off into war that the soldiers could use.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
- During world war 2 Hitler felt that women should be home cooking and cleaning. But instead they were working in factors, as nurses, and school teachers. Hitler saw the treaty of Versailles made economic changes to Germany so he decided to change that by making more jobs when soldiers came home. Also Hitler saw Jews as a economic problem so he tried to get rid of them.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler?
ReplyDelete- Mussolini and Hitler both had the same views and those views were expanding the countries land. Mussolini wanted to expand Italy and Hitler wanted to expand Germany. So they decided to become allies and help each other get what they needed. But other than getting more land Hitler had other views like getting rid if the Jews. Mussolini wanted to take over Britain because they had a lot if resources that Italy could use.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a nazi dictarship in the period 1929 to 1934?
- the treaty of Versailles was a very harsh treaty for many countries and the Weimar Republic signed it and that's when the Weimar Republic started to collapse. There was a group that was agianst democratic government and it was called NSDAP and Hitler like that group because he agreed with them and that's when the group became to have more and more members joining
the group.
10. In what ways did facism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideology?
- Fascism was authoritarian under Mussolini. He felt that Italy was better than every other country and Hitler thought the same thing. Nazism in Germany said that the Aryan's race was better than every other race. Also Mussolini used militarism to get what he wanted because him and Hitler were allies so their armies were really strong,

#1) How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
- Before Hitler became dictator of Germany, he was a chancellor in 1933. Hitler wanted to be the leader of Germany. Because of this, he accused a communist for setting the Reichstag building on fire. Hitler used this situation to arrest many communist who were against him. Then, the death of President Hindenburg helped him become the leader of Germany.
#2) “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
- I agree with this quotation because Europe needed other countries to intervene and help settle down conflicts. There were many treaties and agreements made with Europe and other countries that solved the conflicts, or at least solved them for a while. Such as the Treaty of Versailles.
#3) In what ways did the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
- The causes of the First world war falls into one main event. This event is the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. That event set off a chain of events. This events turned into huge conflicts between nations that led to the first world war. This differs from the causes of the second world war. The causes of the second world war were: the league of nations failed, the unfairness of the Treaty of Versailles and Hitler.
#4) Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
- Ideology was very important in the policies of Adolf Hitler because he wanted Germany’s people to believe in everything he believed in. Ideology is basically the ideal way of how to live. Therefore, it was important for Hitler because he wanted to control people and for people to do what he said.
#5) Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
- The one Scandinavian country I choose is Denmark. During World War One, Denmark was neutral. But the Nazi-Government with Hitler in command broke the non aggression pact and invaded Denmark. Many people were killed and hurt since they did not expect such surprise.
#6) How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
- Great Britain socially and economically changed during World War Two. Great Britain had a war debt of 14 million and went bankrupt. It went through a huge economic depression. They economically recovered through destruction of independent unions and the US Marshall Aid Program. Socially, families became more distant and the women were now in charge of all the housework, since they could not afford maids.
7) Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
ReplyDelete- Hitler’s most important social policy was living space also known as ‘Lebensraum.’ With this policy he wanted to basically have more time so he could build up his army and acquire more land. Hitler wanted to save Germany from an economic depression and he achieved this by hiring more workers in the private sectors, a growth in jobs in government and building of homes. Hitler was born a Catholic but he realized that the church may become an obstacle for him and his plans. Therefore, he wanted to replace the Christian church with a new faith. This new faith was called Aryan and it would represent the values of an inferior race.
8) Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of the Mussolini and Hitler.
- Mussolini and Hitler were both dictators, wanted to expand their empires and were against the League of Nations. They also differed in foreign policies. For example, Mussolini did not Germany to over power Italy and Hitler did.
9) Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the Establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
- The Weimar Republic collapsed because economically they were doing pretty bad. Unemployment remained high due to Germany’s democracy. This also had to do with the Treaty of Versailles. They had to pay a really big amount of money because Germany was blamed for everything, so the Weimar Republic collapsed.
10) In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
- Fascism was a term used to referred to the fascists of Italy and Nazism was used for the Nazi Party. The state was important for the fascists and Nazism focused on race.

ESSAY
ReplyDeleteCarlos Callejas
1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
Hitler was able to become dictator in Germany thanks mainly to two factors: The great economic depression and his skills as a leader and a speaker. First, the economic crisis led the people of Germany to become increasingly desperate to resolve their situation and as a consequence they would choose whoever who seemed apt and effective as their leader; not necessarily whoever followed moral rules. Second, Hitler’s speeches have been frequently described to have an impact of inspiration and awe. This description has been given by historians, writers and civilians alike. Hitler’s ability to lead the people of Germany and gain their favor was arguably the most powerful of the two main factors that lead to Hitler rising to power; the crisis “primed” Germany and Hitler’s own skills made him rise to power easily.
2. “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
I would agree with this quotation to a certain point; indeed external support was needed by Allies and Central/Axis powers to fight the war and the United States played a major role in giving the Allies extra strength to push back against Germany. But the conflicts did not arbitrarily need outside involvement to be settled. The Stalemate in WW1 for example, would have weakened the nations until one finally budged and lost so the war would be settled, without external intervention.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
The causes of World War 1 were the M.A.I.N. causes as previously researched. Militarism, secret Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism. World War 2 was fueled mainly by the Economic Crisis, the Versailles Treaty and, again, Nationalism (in this case Fascism and Nazism). World War 1 was caused more by countries getting “dragged” to war thanks to their alliances and nations seeking prestige (France aiming to re-take Alsace-Lorraine for example). World War 2 was mainly caused by the German humiliation caused by the Versailles Treaty and the economic causes that ensued. It can be said that WW1 was “rich man’s war” (I have money to go to war and I want some territory) while WW2 was “poor man’s war” (I NEED territory to ensure my country survives, and war is the only option).
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
Hitler’s policies were based on his ideology of Nazism. For example, his anti-minority policies were based around the Nazi idea that only those who are of Aryan race are worthy of being in Germany. Also, Hitler’s lebensraum policy was also centered on this Aryan master race ideology. His ideas were very important in that those ideas were the ones which the people took in and assimilated. These ideas also helped Hitler gain the favor of the German people and eventually rise to power.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
ReplyDeleteOne Scandinavian country Hitler impacted was Denmark. Denmark was occupied by Germany from 1940 until the end of the war, Denmark was not a primary target for Germany but it was a strategic country to launch an invasion on Norway, a more important target. Denmark was divided into two parts, the Danish and the German minority part. The Germans were fervent Nazis and willing to cooperate with Germany and the Danes thought resistance would be useless and preferred to explore the benefits of working with Germany. During the occupation, the coal supply from London was cut due to their affiliation with Germany and their resources were being siphoned by Germany to aid their war efforts. This made the Danish people unhappy and later there were labor strikes and sabotages on German properties (railways for example). Despite these problems, Denmark during WW2 was a relatively peaceful country with the lowest death toll of the war (4000-5000 Danish dead).
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the Social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
France, a great country before the war was ravaged and weak after the war. During the war, even veteran generals were unhappy with the incompetence of leaders during the time of war. These veteran leaders and other defeatist factions began to cooperate with Germany once France was occupied by them, refusing to combat in an impossible fight. After the war, France’s resources were drained by German occupation, their economy was heavily damaged as a result. Further adding to their grievances, colonies stopped adding to France’s economy due to the colonies wanting independence (Algeria and Vietnam for example).
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
Hitler absolutely changed the way Germans thought by convincing them to follow his Nazi perspective. All of his policies were according to his ideas of Nazism. The Lebensraum policy, as previously discussed, announced that Germany needed more living room for her people, Hitler meant by people only Aryans. Hitler’s religious policy stated that Catholicism was the religion of the state and other minorities (such as Jehovah’s Witnesses and Jews) were enemies to the state. Hitler’s lebensraum policy also intended that all territory conquered during the war was to be exploited to aid in Germany’s war effort.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the second world war of Mussolini and Hitler.
Both Mussolini and Hitler wanted to recover their countries’ glory, Mussolini wanted to create a New Roman Empire and Hitler wanted to destroy the Versailles Treaty and return Germany to her former glory pre-WW1. Both of them occupied or annexed territory, Hitler annexed Austria and Italy occupied Abyssinia.
Mussolini was very unorganized, contrasting Hitler’s methodic strategies and long-term goals. Mussolini’s goals appeared as he saw an opportunity to achieve one.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
The main reason the Weimar Republic collapsed was the severe crisis that Germany entered shortly after WW1 thanks to the Versailles Treaty. As mentioned before, the crisis lead to unrest and disorder amongst the people and conventional politics were not enough for them; they wanted quick and effective leaders. So as a consequence, people organized into extremist groups. The Nazis (extreme right) had Hitler, a leader whose promises and speech skills helped him gain the sympathy of the population of a country with a nationalistic tradition. The Weimar Republic, being a democracy, felt too sluggish to the Germans, a people used to leaders taking quick and decisive actions during hard times. These flaws allowed for Hitler to gain favor and eventually establish his Nazi dictatorship in Germany.
10. In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
ReplyDeleteFascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany were very similar, but there were few key differences. Nazism’s ideology was based more around the Aryan “master race” and their rightfulness to impose their authoritarian state. Italy’s fascist ideas on the other hand could be described as more “standard”, wanting to promote strong nationalism and imposing the state over all matters, with the purpose of creating a “New Roman Empire” (SPOILER: they failed).

1. Hitler was able to become Dictator of Germany threw a way that was open to public and Hard for people to refuse. Using the Image of the lost in WW1 of the Germans and the current global Economic depression, Hitler Announced his ideas; or at least some of them to the Germans of Stopping their hunger and economic issues and getting revenge on the Allies. This man Used Public tactic to first bring out the solution of the situation but then presenting after a price. The price was to enter WW2 and fight along the other Euro and Non-Euro countries against France, Great Britain and The U.S among others. This was a brilliant plant that didn’t have one mistake. Hitler saw that rising into power was a straight path way if he gave word of peace and security which was what people wanted at the time. The treaty of Versailles was something that bothered Hitler a lot and of course the Germans as well because this was something that basically had control over their financial, property and life. Hitler saw this as one of few path ways that eventually led to him taking over the country and Rising Germany to WW2. With the Nazi party having 230+ seats in the house of representatives of Germany called the Reichstag, Hitler told the president to appoint him as chancellor which would end up being his final puzzle to taking over the state.
2. This is a statement that I can agree and disagree with. I can agree with this statement because of two important points of views. In the Allies side were France and Great Britain were part of, they needed strong assistance so they called in outside help from The United States. Another point is that When WW1 was over, Germany needed to pay the allies money but the tricky part here is that Germany was getting money to pay the allies from the generous United States which were getting paid by the allies as well because they owned money to the U.S. Here we see a bit of intervention economically and military warfare wise. In WW2 things were also outsider costumed because other countries Like Japan Joined Germany and The United States came in threw Japan’s attack o Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in 1941. Now, I can say that I do not agree with this quote because if we look at this WW1, the war was Euro-centric. Euro-centric referring to the countries that fought because it all started with the conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia then Russia getting involved then Germany, Great Britain, France etc. which most of the war was all fought among Europeans; only when the united states came almost at the end of the war was when things changed and the Allies won WW1 but I can say 85-90% of WW1 was Euro-centric. With WW2 things were also Euro-centric because only when Japan got into the central powers and U.S with the allies was when things were distorted but most of WW2 was fought by Germany’s Uprising and its allies and the France and Great Britain among others that were willing to win again against the massive ideas and destruction Hitler was bringing upon the continent.
ReplyDelete3. As we know (obviously) World War 1 came first. This war was originated because of a conflict between Serbia and Austria-Hungary involving the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Russia Saw this conflict and sided with Serbia while Germany Sided with Austria Hungary, this is simply a “This is my friend I want to defend them!” Type of game that grew larger and ended up being called WW1. This origin was a original image of How friendship with another country would show the countries value if anything went down which as we know it did. These back and forth alliances of countries proved to be so strong that the only solution in Europe’s eyes was to combine all of these powers and start a conflict. Many people died, many soldiers gave their lives, many battles were fought but this was just The Great War, WW1. The Origin of WW2 was nothing alike as WW1. Hitler, a powerful dictator saw himself as taking over Germany and avenging what we know as His countries’ defeat in WW1 despite the uncomforted of the treaty of Versailles, Hitler was willing to fight and cause pain and destruction. The Origin of this War was “revenge” threw one person who then infiltrated into his countries mind, making a massive movement and fight once more against the allies. Now having the North Western Asian Country Japan by its side, Hitler saw glory but ended up just like WW1 bringing his country to another destruction
ReplyDelete4. Hitler’s Imaginary and Visionary theorization of a powerful nation was that having a strong military would bring glory to his empire that he was trying to form. Having a strong military meant that he could make any movement on any region, state, colony etc. and have the victory over it or at least he thought. He wanted to make the perfect race, only one which meant that variation of ethnicity wasn’t working for him which is why he wanted to eliminate lots of people that weren’t ideal for him starting of with Gypsies, Homosexuals, deformed beings, disabilities and causing the holocaust of the Jews. His vision didn’t include any of these people, he didn’t care because he was determined to do it but later as we know, his plans failed.
5. In 1940, Germany had an idea to bring forward a plan called Operation weserubung. This operation was to intentionally keeping Norway and Denmark busy while they implant what was called a Coup d’état which was a plan to overthrow these nations. Since Germany had the usuality to trade metal and Coal, Sweden would be brutally impacted by this. This over throw only had one goal and it was to bring in troops to these countries and make it seem like there was nothing going on they were just there to protect these countries but in reality they were there waiting for the Base leader Hitler to give of the Sign to go in and take over the Coal mines. On March 12 (no specific year found), the Germans launched and invasion and this affected Sweden because even their land was being attacked. Hitler went in and attacked these three countries with having one of them as their Allies in trade, they were almost successful but there was a military resistance and the plan was abandoned.
ReplyDelete6. The Second World War affected all the European countries that were involved with this Except for Scandinavia. This was because Scandinavia saw will in itself not to be involved and refuse to enter to any issue, almost like neutrality we could say. The Allies that also had won the war Got more land and more power of the countries that lost the war which meant that there was going to be a BIG off balance in the economy. No money was coming in or out of Germany and the money that was coming in had immediately be given to the Allies because of the debts of the war which meant another depression for the great country of Germany. This was a mayor effect due to the fact that if we go back to March 12 when Germany wanted to take over the coal mines in Norway and Denmark, they had to back up because a resistance was there; this was a waste of money and time, a mayor lost. Anywhere that Germany tried to look up north for territory, there was the resistance, to the south was pain and suffering because Austria-Hungary was separated and there was no union. Looking to the East there was Russia which was part of the Allies back in WW1 and if looking West there were the western Allied countries like France and Great Britain. Germany had fallen because the Economy wasn’t in its flow with them, they would suffer pain just by wanting to obtain what wasn’t their forcibly, they had to live with most likely and external and Eternal debt that probably was pain around 2008.
7. Hitler’s Social Policies were (I could say) stricter than a ruler itself. He had a strong Ideological Vision of a perfect world that didn’t include Homosexuals, Jews, and Gypsies among others. These social policies were declared by him in 1934. He declared that he wanted to establish a new Era where he saw that people were of light color and of Beautiful eyes but with no defects. This lead to the Holocaust, Hitler exterminates the Jews or at least those that were unfortunate. Also around these time, the Economic policies where established. As we know, the world was passing threw a mayor depression, everywhere you went there was a economical and financial depression. But focusing on Germany, Hitler promised to retrieve this hunger and this pain if they joined his vision and revenging Germany by causing WW2. This was another path way that I can say led to the holocaust in the try to exterminate the Jews.
ReplyDelete8. Hitler and Mussolini were very diabolical and very evil when it came down to obtaining what they wanted Sort of like a Double team of Pain. These two were directors and massive dictators of Italy and Germany who rose to power similarly promising their people what they wanted if they paid the price and joined their visions. The both fought in World War 2 and both died violently around 1944-1945. These men had a lot in common but when it came down to their foreign policies, this was a bit more complex. Hitler’s Foreign policy was more directed in Specific initiations of extermination. He was aiming to take away lives of Jews, homosexuals and others while Mussolini didn’t really rely on what you were or where you came from, if you didn’t disturb his plans, he wouldn’t be nice to you but you’ll just be off his claws and jaws. Both man also had in difference the backgrounds of how they mandated. Hitler spoke and the nation would speak and act on behalf of itself, Mussolini shared with Hitler himself his Nation’s plans which were a very strong social friendship but Hitler kept his nation’s plans under radar because he believed in strong, quiet and intimidating attacks.
9. The collapse of the Weimar Republic is a question that appeared a lot on the internet and during my research time, is a question that many ask but the answer is very complex. There is only one way that is similar to the explanation of this complex answer and that is that the Post-war Germany was under big stress especially after losing Two Great Wars and being in debt, somehow the Power that they had had to collapse on it. First, the economy had dropped Big Time due to the debt of the WW2 and still paying WW1. Then came the lands being lost which was another thing that took them to the collapse. A lot of Analysts say that these were not the issues that there was more but this is complex to look into and this is how I understood that the Weimar republic collapsed.
ReplyDelete10. Fascism and Nazism differ in Germany Ideologically because Fascism was an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization that focused on its country like Italy and Mussolini wile Nazism which was a form of socialism featuring racism and expansionism and obedience to a strong leader was what Hitler used to Expand his evil and cause the holocaust among other destructions.

1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
ReplyDeleteThe reasons why Hitler was able to become dictator of Germany was because he was against the Treaty of Versailles -as well as the people of Germany- with this fact it would make the voters want to vote for him. Another one of the many reasons why Hitler was ale to become dictator of Germany was because the Nazi propaganda informed the Germans that the Jews were the ones to cause all of these conflicts and that Hitler was the only one who could resolve all of these problems. Another major reason why he was able to do so was because of his talented skills; he was a very good speaker and well organized. At first the Germans wasn’t too sure about Hitler but once they saw his confidence and determination they starting coming around. These are some of the many reasons why Hitler was able to become dictator of Germany.
The way Hitler became dictator of Germany was by first trying to get as much as power as he can step by step and finally take over and turn Germany into a dictatorship. The first step Hitler took was trying to pass an Act. This Act was created On March 15, 1933. The effects of this Act is to “hand over the constitutional functions of the Reichstag to Hitler, including the power to make laws, control the budget and approve treaties with foreign governments.” This Act gave Hitler a good amount of power. The next step Hitler achieved was having Hindenburg, president of Germany, sign three decrees. Hindenburg did so and Hitler had total control over the Nazis. Of course having all these acts pass would give Hitler a higher chance of being able to take over Germany because he basically owned the all of the Nazis (so he got their votes) now he just needed some of the non-Nazis votes. By doing so Hitler made a speech to the people of Germany (especially to the non-Nazis) persuading them to vote for him. He made many promises that he knew would get the non-Nazis attention. At the end, Hitler got through them and he won the election. This is how Hitler became dictator of Germany.
2. “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
In my opinion, I agree with this quotation just because of the simple fact that this is the whole point why alliances were created; to help their allies if they are in trouble and if they don’t have enough power to defeat their opposing country. For example, in the First Battle of the Atlantic it was Britain and the UK against Germany. The allies united and defeated Germany. If the allies didn’t united Germany would have controlled the Atlantic and the trading system would have been different. I hope you saw my point that Britain need help from the “outside” to “settle” this problem.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
ReplyDeleteTHE CAUSES OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR: 1) The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in 1914. 2) Alliances- one country would be in war with another and their allies come into war to protect them and then their allies come to protect them and so on so forth. Alliances brought so many countries into the war and they weren’t even part of what started the war. 3) Imperialism- Many countries would feel the need that it is totally okay to just take over another country’s territory. This caused countries to attack back and take their countries back. 4) Militarism- Every country wanted to have the best solders, technology and weapons so they were all competing against each other to see who would have the bet navy and army. 5) Nationalism- The people of their country would do whatever they could to defend their country. So if Germany comes busting in the U.S the soldiers of the U.S will defend our country and remove the Germans from the U.S.
THE CAUSES OF WORLD WAR TWO: 1) Treaty of Versailles (Germany had to pay such ridiculous payments and had to accept that they started WW1. Germany got territory taken away from them.) 2) Hitler’s action of improving his weapons and army. He added a German air force and warships. 3) The Great Depression- this caused Japan to invade in China resulting into war with them.
As you can see there were no similarities at all for the causes of World War One & Two. Those are all the differences between both wars.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the polices of Adolf Hitler.
Ideology-“A body of ideas that reflects the beliefs and interests of a nation, political system, etc and underlies political action.
Ideology was very important to Hitler. He used the Nazi ideology. Ideology was very important to Hitler because he wanted the people who only thought like him to be in this group. Everyone in this group had all the same ideas. Their ideas were all about how the Jews should all die and how they were horrible people. Their ideas also consisted of homosexuals; the Nazis would treat the homosexuals with so much disrespect. With all these ideas Hitler became powerful.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
Hitler, leader of Germany, decided to invade Norway. On September 2, Hitler sent a letter to Oslo basically stating that he does truly respect the agreement that Scandinavian countries came up with but he going to invade their country and steal their six million ton iron. Germany kept trying to get Norway to fight back but Norway kept their word and stayed natural. The impact that happened in Norway was that they lost their iron.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
ReplyDeleteA country that had its social and economy change was Great Britain. When World War Two finished Great Britain had a lot of social changes for example, before the war the families would have nice family time; eat, watch TV and hang out together. After the war, families were no longer families. They weren’t speaking to each other as much as they did before. An economic change that Great Britain had to face was before the war families were able to find maids easily and men were able to find jobs fast. Now that the war had happen women had to be their own maid and it was a struggle for fathers to find jobs.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious police between 1933 and 1939.
Hitler had a dream. His dream was for Germany to have a bigger living place. I don’t really think this was a good policy because in order to make this happen that means that Germany would have to take another person’s territory and this would cause war. Another one of Hitler’s policies was women were supposed to be house wives and all they had to do was cook and clean the house. I really don’t like this one because I am a woman myself and I have many capabilities I can do that isn’t cooking and cleaning.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the second world war of Mussolini and Hitler.
Comparison: 1) Both Hitler and Mussolini wanted to expand their country. 2) Both wanted to build up their military 3) both wanted to get rid of the Treaty of Versailles.
Contrast: 1) Hitler knew exactly want he wanted. 2) Mussolini wasn’t so clear on what he wanted he kept doubting himself. 3) Mussolini didn’t trust Hitler and did not want to work with him.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the Establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
The Weimar Republic collapsed because of a number of reasons. One of the reasons why the Weimar Republic collapsed was because there were many disputes about the Treaty of Versailles. There were lot of arguments and different viewpoints. Another reason why the Weimar Republic collapsed was because Germany was always had a democracy and they were not used to a dictatorship. When Hitler took over he changed the government into a dictatorship.
10. In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
The Fascism in Italy the Italians always had a choice if they wanted to be in the Fascism group. In Germany Hitler made it a requirement to join the Fascism and Nazi party.

1. How and why was Hitler able to become dictator of Germany?
ReplyDeleteThrough his growing influence and power over the German mind, Hitler slowly gained control of his nation and a seat to access the world’s resources and boundaries. Hitler’s authority and sway grew with the Nazi party. As its head, he was able to influence the minds of the German people and present himself as a respected and capable figure. As it became clear to certain individuals in the German government, Hitler and his Nazi party’s growing power were a threat to the German nation in its present state. This realization sparked the decision to appoint Hitler as Chancellor in order to keep an eye on him and stifle his expanding influence. This new position had the opposite effect however and gave him greater access to persons and resources with which to build his control. He also presented solutions to Germany’s problems including the economic crisis of hyper-inflation and the humiliation the Treaty of Versailles brought. These problems were blamed on the Jewish population and foreigners and he presented persecution, expulsion and genocide as the solution. Due to the Germans’ strong history and culture of patriotism and respect for obedience, they were highly susceptible to a situation such as Hitler created.
2. “The First and Second World Wars were European civil wars that required outside intervention to settle.” How far do you agree with this quotation?
This quotation seems to grasp the underlying concepts and motivations for the initiation of World Wars I and II. The First World War seems to lie more easily along these lines of assessment because it started as a minor European conflict in the “Powder Keg” that was the Balkans, but grew to such an extent that other, more foreign, countries became involved. Such outer countries included themselves to aid their allies, not because they had initial investment in the arguments that had sparked the war. The following World War came about for slightly different reasons, and, while it could be pushed to fit into this evaluation, it is more of a stretch. Hitler’s goals in the instigation of WWII were definitely on a global scale before the war itself spread beyond Europe. He expressed that semi-global Aryan-domination and his dictatorship were the main goals that might satisfy his thirst for power. It was a war of aggression and conquest by Germans, and most actions, such as the invasion of Poland, had no excuse other than war-mongering. In order to align the Second World War with this quotations statement however, one could argue that it was true from the Allied perspective. Hitler was not the only one who went to war, and other European nations such as Britain became involved seeing it as an internal European conflict and inciting the ally chain as happened in WWI. These analyses only follow if one considers a ‘civil war’ to be also a war within certain cultural or regional bounds such as Europe, not one lone nation.
3. In what ways did the causes of the Second World War differ from the causes of the First World War?
ReplyDeleteThe Second World War was intended to be fought on a global scale, as opposed to WWI and its causes differed because of the intent. Hitler’s involvement made the war more about social pride and patriotism than the resolution of a conflict. World War One was about bickering between minor nations, the gain of territory and picking sides of the equation whereas the Second World War was initiated in hopes of empires and greater power on the sides of Germany and Japan. These two countries strived to have empires by conquering neighbors and expanding access to raw materials for industrial empires. Both acted aggressively and imperially towards the rest of the world, initiating conflict to achieve their goals. Both countries started and became involved in the war because they saw themselves as different from and more elite than the peoples and populations they declared war against. In 1914, such goals were not in the minds of the instigators, merely minor political aspirations or sore egos. The following World War was far more intentional and purposefully caused.
4. Evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler.
Adolf Hitler led the Germans into war through a great deal of mental tactics and propaganda of his ideology. He used this ideology of a semi-global Aryan empire and a tradition of anti-Semitism, racial superiority and achievement of his idea of purity as the strategy of his war and propaganda and Nazi party as his tactics. By promoting the already-present patriotism and telling them that they were superior and deserved the living-room, land buffer and room to expand their nation, he heightened their morale and gave them a unity and reason for WWII. Without all of his ideology and propaganda promoting it, Hitler would never have gained the amount of support and power that he needed to become a true threat to his enemies. The ideology and fanaticism was what pushed his campaign forward and gave him the support and power he needed to attempt to follow through with it.
5. Assess the impact of Hitler, and the Second World War on one Scandinavian country.
Throughout WWII, Sweden remained neutral alongside Finland but, unlike Finland, she did become involved in the war. By transporting ball-bearings to Britain and allowing the Nazis to cross through Sweden, the country stated itself involved in the international politics of the time even if not as invested as other European countries. Suffering only 2,200 total deaths, Sweden ranked with the fourth least number of mortalities of the 27 countries involved in the war (Worldology.com). While she received none of the impact of the holocaust, Sweden was changed by the war. After showing that, while they were not willing to directly become involved in the war, they were not above taking advantage of the trading and treatise opportunities presented to them by the war. World War II put them in a more involved international position.
6. How and why did the Second World War bring about the social and economic changes in one European country excluding Scandinavia?
ReplyDeleteBritain was greatly affected by WWII both economically and socially due to the great extent to which they became involved in the war. Unlike Sweden, England was left devastated by the war, losing their empire as their economy sunk lower and lower, taking decades to recover. Their morale, however, was greatly bolstered by the war, patriotism and national pride at its highest. There was a great deal of mythology surrounding the United Kingdom’s miraculous survival of the Blitzkrieg and their culture survived and thrives even as their economy dwindled. After the war, their factories containing antiquated 19th century technology still remained while the Germans’ were rebuilt by the Americans. Having lost the war and the centers of their material trade, Germany’s factories were replaced with new American technology at little cost to themselves while Britain lagged behind, only adding further damage to her economy. The effects of the war were fairly long-lasting, and the victory was only one of spirit and technicality.
7. Evaluate Hitler’s social, economic, and religious policies between 1933 and 1939.
Hitler promoted various social policies between 1933 and 1939, the greatest of which being the persecution of Jews. This era of genocide and purported nationalistic superiority over minorities and the propaganda he fed the citizens, proposing hierarchies and social systems with anyone ‘different’ than the Aryan German at the bottom. He also attempted to save his country from hyper-inflation and depression using various methods. The labor-camps achieved both social and economic goals, providing free labor whilst presenting the Jews as an unworthy ‘race’. A small amount of money was also made and saved from the appropriated possessions of murdered and detained victims of the holocaust. The Autobahn, a grand intranational highway, gave an opportunity for speedy trade within the nation, quick military movement, improved infrastructure and work. He also commissioned the engineering of the Volkswagen which literally translates to ‘people’s car’. The vehicle was intended to be a cheap car for the general German population that had about 23.5 horsepower, ran on gas and had an air-cool engine that could be fixed by the owner. The main goal was a small and affordable car for more than just the elite. Hitler was also involved in the control of Religion in his country and the pieces of Europe he conquered. His persecution of Judaism was not singular, Catholicism was also under deep scrutiny during this time period. On the other side of the spectrum, Lutheranism was the least persecuted religion under Hitler’s control and he even promoted a modified Norse religion due to the Aryan roots he so admired.
8. Compare and contrast the foreign policies up to the outbreak of the Second World War of Mussolini and Hitler.
Mussolini and Hitler had different goals in mind with their differing strategies of foreign policy. While Hitler was more obviously interested in power and general conquer, Mussolini focused more on prestige. Though it must be allowed that Mussolini did conquer Ethiopia, there were never any such drastic and global plans as Hitler had up his sleeve. Both suffered humiliation at their defeats in 1919 but Mussolini did not react as strongly as Hitler did. It could be said that Mussolini’s foreign policy was less harsh and relatively more diplomatic than Hitler’s and more logical as well. Due to Hitler’s mental illness, he made various odd and detrimental tactical policy moves and his reactions were more extreme.
9. Analyze the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the establishment of a Nazi dictatorship in the period 1929 to 1934.
ReplyDeleteThe Weimar Republic was effectively doomed to crumble in light of the Versailles Treaty of 1919. The economic sanctions of Germany greatly crippled the nation, the debt leaving the economy with hyper-inflation of unprecedented levels. The rise of Nazi influence grew exponentially upon the country after these effects were discarded by Hitler when he discontinued the payment of War debts. The Nazi dictatorship grew out of a destroyed Weimar Republic and fulfilled a need of the people the Republic’s presence had created. The people clung to the fanatic ideology Hitler presented as something to lead them and gove them hope for a better age.
10. In what ways did Fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany differ ideologically?
The Fascism of Italy was fundamentally different from the Nazi ideology of Germany. While Hitler promoted racial purity and superiority, fascism dealt less with this cultural separation that was at the core of Nazi beliefs. The Nazis presented their ideal of an Aryan empire that allowed for comfortable power and no neighboring threats. They wished this empire to be one of only the purest of the Aryan race and with German-speaking hetero-normative healthy non-Jewish persons at its center. Fascism, however, was more about the power of the Italian nation and the control of a country in the hands of a few or, preferably, a dictator. This ideology was less important than structure to fascist beliefs than it was to the Nazism. This comparison could be equated to the relationship and differences between Hitler and Mussolini who represented their respective parties very well.

1.) At that time democracy wasn’t as strong as dictatorship was. Everyone was ruling their own country the way they felt was right. Now Hitler was able to become the dictator of Germany with the help of his Nazi Party. They greatly influence the “Social democrats” that was present in Germany at that time. Hitler got their votes, and he won the campaign. After that Democracy ended around the 1930’s. Why Hitler? Well, he was view as a strong and aggressive reader. Germany thought that he would lead their country to success. Many people from Germany loved Hitler because he made a promise that he would end unemployment which was the biggest issue of all. He made other mutual agreements with other countries. That’s now and why Hitler was able to become dictator of Germany.
2.) I agree for with this quotation for because the first and second world was civil wars and they did have money interventions to settle, for example they partnered with many other countries for additional help. So that these countries could trade their resources, so that they would have very good quality of resources to rely on so that the war could be a victory.
3.) The way World War 2 causes was different from World War 1 is that World War 2 had many political triggers and many economic unstableness in Germany. Since there were many unfair conditions due to the Treaty of Versailles, there was an upcoming of power. That’s when Adolf Hitler and the majority of his partnerships with other countries opposed to the Soviet Union. In World War 1 the Assassination of Archduke F. Ferdinand of Austria on June, 194. Also others causes were now the alliances systems were set up, militarism, imperialism, and nationalism. The WW1 had many personal issues.
4.) The way I can evaluate the importance of ideology in the policies of Adolf Hitler is that they were basically Hitler’s goals that he really wanted to achieve. It was very important because it played a very dominate role of forming the foreign policies. This was greatly influenced by the responses that were stated by the allies to aggressions. Nazi ideology, was just expressing Hitler’s opinion on his ultimate goals. Hitler understands of a race and politics’ was in a worldly view that’s how I ran evaluating the importance of ideology in the policies of Hitler.
5.) The impact of Hitler and the Second World War on the Scandinavian countries is that everyone knew that Hitler hated the Jewish people with a passion. Since there were many Jewish people living in Scandinavia countries, he killed a large population of Jewish people living in the Scandinavian countries. Since the Holocaust happened during the Second World War it affected the countries of Scandinavian because there were over millions of Jews killed in the holocaust.
6.) The way the Second World War brings about social and economic changes in one European county is that in Russia was completely devasted. Over 25 million people were homeless effect Russia economically because there no jobs available.
7.) The way I can evaluate Hitler’s Social, economic, and religious policy between 1933 and 1939. For social policies Hitler blames the Jew for Germany’s economic depression. For economic policy, Hitler enforced laws that would separate the Jews from first class into second class positions. He believed that Jews did not have the right to be in upper-class. For religious policy, Hitler made the Jews worship him instead of their own god/religion. He believed that he was god.
