Jonathon Edward’s “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Starting in the mid-18th century, the people of Enfield, Connecticut began to lose their beliefs in Christianity. One man named, Jonathan Edwards, took it upon himself to preach to his congregation of sin and hell. In the hope of reviving their many other beliefs in Christianity, scholars refer to this time or even in early American history as “The Great Awakening”.

When And Why Did The Second World War Turn Against Hitler And His Allies? In September 1939 the world descended into the most violent conflict in its history. This was as a result of many years of poverty stress and anger at other countries (from Germany). Hitler took this downfall of the country to become the prime minister, as he often said that if he became the leader of Germany he would sort the country of all its problems.

In 1933, Hitler, leader of the Nazi party, was named Chancellor of Germany. After World War I the League of Nations had forced Germany to accept responsibility for the war.

The pianist shows how the tension was back in the Holocaust and the emotions of everyone involved. A lot of people whether Jewish or not lost family and friends in this destruction and it shows how they really felt towards Hitler that is not told in any actual written source.
