Germany suffered 5 main territorial losses, which were: • Posen, the Polish corridor and Upper Silesia => Poland • Memel => Lithuania • Northern Schleswig => Denmark • Alsace-Lorraine => France • The Saar => League of nations (however it was returned to them after 15 years as the inhabitants decided to become German) Germany lost most of her empire at the end of World War One as well as part of her actual country. Germany’s army was reduced to 100 000 men and this meant they were not able to attack another country. However they got round this problem by training many young men on how to be in the army (for example how to use a gun) but didn’t actually call them up so they weren’t officially in the army. This meant that if they were able to enlarge their army again, they would have trained men ready to fight. Germany had to pay the total cost of the war which is estimated to be around £6.6 billion, this lead to the period of time which historians call the depression and this is when the mark got devalued.
While most generals and commanders did not think submarines could be used in naval strategy and tactics, they were proven to be wrong. The view of submarines looked as only coastal defense units was suddenly changed on January 9, 1917 when the German submarine force proved the importance of submarine warfare. On that day, the German submarine U-9 had seen three other submarines coming towards them. As they came closer, Otto Weddigen commanding officer of the U-9, ordered for the first torpedo to be fired at 6:20 a.m. It hit the British cruiser HMS ABOUKIR which began to take on water.
However, there was no unilateral view on how to tackle the Depression and so the Weimar Governments between the years of 1928 and 1933 went through 4 different Chancellors before Hitler and his Nazi Party finally took over in January 1933 with public support. During the Depression, millions of people lost their jobs and there was poverty, hunger and homelessness. Carr writes that “unemployment grew by leaps and bounds” whilst Lacey and Shephard note that “for the unemployed this was a time of extreme poverty”. Betwen 1930 and 1932, 18,000 farmers and 50,000 businesses had gone bankrupt. The depression reminded H. Hauser “of the war, of the worst period of starvation in 1917 and 1918, but even then people paid for potatoes”.
• Was a way of loweing morale and hindering German progression in the war, targeting their resources and factories. • There was some great success: 1943 Hamburg and Rhur had a serious impact on German war productin and took vital planes away from the Russian Front. • Was a major factor in German defeat. - Was Churchill justified in using the strategic bom 2 of 20 1 of 20 • Churchill felt uneasy about the bombing campiagn • The ruthless policy of total war had moral implications- Churchill could be seen as a war criminal. • Half a million Germans lost their lives in the bombing, way more civillian lives than were lost in Britain during the Blitz.
In November 2006 the retailer Target recalled 200,000 Kool Toyz action figures because of lead contamination and sharp edges. On June 13, 2007 RC2 Corporation recalled 1.5 million of its Thomas & Friends toy trains because of high lead levels in the paint. RC2 quickly fired both the company producing the train vendor but disclose their names. Some 8,000 toy factories in China employed 3 million people, producing most of the world’s toy. Approximately 80 percent of the toys sold in the United States were made in China.
The total agreed by the Allies in 1921 came up to £6,600 billion. It is important to remember that the German's economic might had been stretched to its very limits during the war. Additionally, the Germans had to rebuild their own economy whilst paying reperations at the same time. A lot of Germany's income were precious sources of raw materials in her colonies, which had been taken away by the Treaty.All of this made it that much harder for the German economy to cope, without adding the 1.7 million men lost during the war and 4.2 million wounded. Economy aside, there were also many military restrictions.
In the book, Bloom said “it’s easier for today’s children to waste food because they are so removed from its origins.” The reason why we waste food easily is we don’t have the chance to plant, water, or nurse the plants by ourselves, so we don’t know how hard it is to plant and grow the food. After reading this book, I feel so sorry for what I did every day by wasting my food and I have decided to do something better such as ordering less amount of food and take any leftovers home and cook them with other ingredients to make them into new dish, instead of throwing them into the trash can. If we can continue doing this, food wastes can be decreased. Also, we should care about our environment by not tossing the food into the trash because wasting food can negatively impact our environment, which will reduce our natural resources. For
Imposing higher taxes on junk food will not encourage healthy eating. Taxes don’t stop people from buying things that satisfy them. By restricting dietary choices Americans will not suddenly know the difference between junk food and health food. The government cannot appropriately regulate and restrict improper consumption in people’s homes; they need to keep their hands out of Americans pockets and start fighting obesity through educating adults and their children on proper nutritional routines. Imposing a junk food tax draws attention to one of the most imperative questions which is how to define foods as unhealthy.
Despite the Nazi efforts to win the battle, by late January the Nazi were out of fuel and had to abandon their tanks. This led to the victory of the Allies. The Battle of the Bulge was the bloodiest battle fought during World War II. The losses were astonishing ending in over 89.000 for the Allies and about 100,000 for the Nazi (Cole, 1965). b.
As people fled from their homes they were machine-gunned by fighter planes. The three hour raid completely destroyed the town. It is estimated that 1,685 people were killed and 900 injured in the attack and the British leaders did not want that to happen to Britain especially when it would be a much lager scale. -29th September, 1938, Adolf Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, Edouard Daladier and Benito Mussolini signed the Munich Agreement which transferred the Sudetenland to Germany. When Czechoslovakia's head of state protested at this decision Neville Chamberlain told him that Britain would be not go to war over the Sudetenland.
