How Successful Were The Russian Governments In Promoting Economic Change And Modernisation Between 1881 and 1904? When Alexander III came into power, he made sure that industrialization was at the forefront of his plans. So under Vyshnedgradsky and Witte, various measures were imposed to help kick start industrialization, which led to significant economic change The improved transport system, which resulted from government investment in infrastructure like the railways, helped to vastly improve Russia’s economic situation. This is evident through the clear positive correlation between railway improvements and increases in Russia’s industrial output. The length of railway tracks in Russia increased form 31219 miles in 1891 to 58392 miles by 1904.
Due to these aspects of Speer’s leadership Germany saw a significant increase in munitions production which, in turn, prolonged World War II by at least one year. Following the death of Fritz Todt in February 1942, Speer was promoted to Minister of Armaments and War Production in September 1943. A significant influence which led to Speer’s promotion is the fact that Adolf Hitler had long been impressed with his talent, ambition and incredible organisational skills. Due to Speer’s significant change in title, his responsibilities were now considerably expanded. No longer a mere Nazi architect, Speer was now in charge of German construction and energy industries, including: armaments production, transportation, placements and authority over raw materials and industrial production.
Both economics and politics experienced radical changes during the Early Republic period in America. Remarkably subtle but undoubtedly significant was the development of a recognizable middle class during the Early Republic. This revolution can be attributed to what Wood refers to as a “consumer revolution of immense importance” and through the pervasive spread of commerce. A newfound appreciation for domestically internal trade and the recognition of the significance of this internal trade increased prosperity and gave more people enthusiasm for business. The quantity of those involved in buying and selling increased exponentially and in response, the development of modern day concepts such as businessmen and entrepreneurs arose.
Explain why the US economy ‘boomed’ during the 1920’s? An economic boom is the rapid growth in a country’s money making that leads to increased prosperity and wealth. The 1920’s was a time of extreme highs and lows, a time of dramatic changes in society and many new inventions. Many American industries boomed in the 1920s, with the economy doubling in size. This economic boom was based around consumer goods-luxury items that many Americans wanted to buy but didn’t really need.
During the period 1870 to 1900, a period commonly known as the gilded age was the era of expansion, migration westward for cheap land and economic prosperity. After the Civil War, the United States began to industrialize very quickly, leading to immense economic growth during the time period in both the North and West. Also during this era was the continuation of mass immigration and the fight for social reform. In this era as well the development of railroads occurred, another source of rapid economic growth and an increase of big businesses. Big business had an enormous impact on U.S. society during the period 1870 to 1900 due to its effect on labor unions as well as it bringing to light the corruption of big business that had now become
INTRODUCTION The Captain America it’s a comic book character created in 1941 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, his stories were deeply connected with the American propaganda and war efforts to defeat the Nazi and Fascist threat. After the World War II the Captain America comics continued to be published, however he passed through the hands of different creative staffs that sought to make modifications or adjustments to keep him updated to a consumer market and conjunctures cultural and political in constant change. We can say that changes by which the character has passed over the twentieth century were, to some extent, attempts to adapt it to new historical contexts and associate it with some important facts related with domestic and foreign policies of the United States, as the Second War and the Cold War. This bring us to beginning of the twenty first century, more precisely in September 11
Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. Propaganda is usually repeated and dispersed over a wide variety of media in order to create the desired result in audience attitudes. Propaganda appeared during the Civil War as mostly images spread throughout newspapers and magazines. One of the main reasons behind this was because illustrated journalism became available for the first time to most Americans. Journalist covering the war would portray the war the way the they or the government felt was acceptable for Americans to see.
This was important for emerging industrial centers. With the increase in amount of trade amongst one another, a closer bond was formed. Roads and railroad production was increasing rapidly during the early 19th Century. Roads were deteriorated to a great extent by various wars and other violent events. At this point in time, roads got improved and underwent repair on a larger extent; the production of railways skyrocketed in the German States.
New technology was invented, such as the steam engine, which led to an increase in factory production and demand. England’s economy was expanding, and the middle class became more wealthy and powerful. The Industrial revolution changed people’s way of living; they were buying and selling more goods than ever.

“Today, there is a popular consensus that the term ‘Renaissance’ refers to a profound and enduring upheaval and transformation in culture, politics, art and society in Europe between the years 1400 and 1600” (Brotton 9). Science was at the forefront of this expansion because of the speed at which technology advanced communication. With the invention of the printing press, education boomed and suddenly producing accurate copies of important books of the time was no longer a major time consuming process. Not only that, but now information in textbooks could continuously be updated as scholars began to better understand and learn more about their subject areas. This newfound availability of literature helped spur the movement of Renaissance Humanism.
