Manchester DBQ Throughout history, major revolutions have created conflicts in modernizing cities by rapid population growth and other contributors. Over the course of the nineteenth century, the growth of Manchester raised concerns about its suffering population and the unclean city, but it also spread increasing industry across Europe; all of which gained reactions of pity, rage, and prosperity.

Although Manchester grew in poverty and wrath, the fruits of its industry continued to bring prosperity to the wealthy both in the city and around the globe.
What were the problems facing Germany in late 1918 and 1919? Germany faced numerous problems, every one varying in extremity. The loss of the war was naturally a large problem which created many spin-off issues, such as an unpleasant living environment, a worsening economy and naturally the deflation of the German peoples pride and spirit, due to propaganda they were fed with news that their army was excelling in the war, when in reality the exact opposite was occurring.

This issue has long been recognized as a destructive force in the world, spreading HIV and other diseases around the world at an alarming rate. Women and children are sold into slavery at a very young age (from 4 to 30 years old), often beaten, and forced to perform sexual acts which create irreversible damage in a human being.

Shawn Kilpatrick Prof. Laura Brown TA: Shih-Hsiang Sung Section: Friday 11am 10/21/2011 Question 3 Collision of Two Cultures The “collision of two cultures” can be seen as causing a lot of wars, pain and suffering in the world.

The book was first published in the summer of 1914. By then, Ireland has underwent tremendous perils and hardships that have all inevitably carved into the mentality of Irelanders. The country was being constantly whipped by its union with Great Britain, the people were still horrified by the numerous famines of the 19th century, and there were religious disputes over the differences between the Catholics and Protestants.

This may be seen as one of many cycles that the Irishmen went through, the constant fight for freedom from under the yoke of non-Irish rule and the disasters that inevitably come in life.
