Some historians have focused on the holocaust as a product of trends in German History. Explain how this approach has contributed to our understanding of the holocaust. Has this approach any disadvantages and shortcomings? The approach dictates that the holocaust was ultimately the result of the societal changes exclusively within German culture during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; that the genocide was the ultimate ramification of various historical ‘trends’ i.e. the changes in the mechanisms of ‘volkisch’ anti-semitism and how it developed throughout the preceding decades, with particular scholarly movements including the inception of scientific racism, the volkisch movement in correspondence with new imperialism and militant nationalism.
This would include not bringing very important bombs and mortar shells and heavier guns, these weapons were close to or equivalent to the German artillery. After this event the allies made sure to correct their tanks and ended up inventing the “Crocodile” and the “ Duplex-Drive” which were a big success for many raids. Although the raid on Dieppe seemed like a big failure, it actually set an example of what not to do, and taught many people valuable lessons. It is well argued that without these mistakes future raids would have been an ultimate failure. this is also recongised in the words of Mountbatten: ‘that for every live lost at Dieppe, ten were save at
After the December 1941 defeat of the German army in its attempt to take Moscow and the entry of the United States into World War II on December 11, the German authorities understood that Germany would have to fight a long war. Responding to increasingly acute labor shortages and the need to produce armaments, machinery, airplanes, and ships to replace German losses, the SS established more SS-owned firms. It also signed contracts with state and private firms to produce goods and provide labor for the German armaments and related industries. A famous example of cooperation between the SS and private industry was the I.G. Farben company's establishment of a synthetic rubber plant in 1942 at Auschwitz III (Monowitz).
History Education Assignment 1: History Learning Sequence – Lesson Plan 2000 words Why I chose particular resources. To try journal writing I felt the students required a broad, varied, factual and colourful knowledge of the people and the era. They needed sufficient information to draw from in order to write creatively based on historical facts. Text book secondary sources such as M. Shafer’s This Land: Issues in Australian History and Citizenship since 1901, E. Richards’s Destination Australia: migration to Australia since 1901 and A. Astbury’s Nation, Race and Citizen 1888-1914, would support fact collecting through timelines, worksheets and discussions. Photographs and personal stories provide primary sources and would support
This, combined with the war's length and the waning distinction between civilian and military targets, made it difficult for people to perceive the enemy in terms other than extreme hatred. This was reflected in the demands for retribution made both during and at the end of the war, inevitably affecting the peace settlements that followed. In the following selection Gordon Craig of Princeton and Stan rd, a noted military and diplomatic historian who has done extensive work on German history, analyzes these attitudes and their causes while comparing World War I with previous wars. Consider: How the primary documents on the experience of World War I relate to this interpretation; why it was difficult for governments of belligerent nations to compromise; whether this description of what happened in World War I is likely to be true for almost any extended twentieth-century war. The war of 1914 was the first total war in history, in the sense that very few people living in the belligerent countries were permitted to remain unaffected by it during its course.
The reason and rationale for choosing this question is that the event had large-scale implications for the political and ideological struggle between Communism and Fascism during the 1930s; this struggle concerned the entire European continent, not just Germany. The sources to be used to evaluate this question are Milen Semkov’s monographs: Moabitt (1981), and Europe against Fascism (1990), Georgi Dimitrov’s Diaty (published 1997) and the Bulgarian motion picture Anvil or Hammer, which offers a comprehensive narrative of the events of 1933. Additional material will be brought in when necessary to support my argument. Summary of evidence : The Leipzig trial took place between September 21 and December 23, 1933. It was organized by the Nazi government in Germany as response to the Reichstag fire of the night of February 27.
Why Nations go to War “Mortals made these decisions. They made them in fear and in trembling, but they made them nonetheless” (Stoessinger 4). This is something that Dr. John G. Stoessinger implies in his book Why Nations go to War. Stoessinger organized his book to look at the events that led to specific wars of the twentieth century. He discusses prime wars such as, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam, and the wars in the Middle East.
The significance of the First World War in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway. “All Woolf’s work is deeply concerned with war; that it helps to redefine our understanding of the nature of war; and that from her earliest to her final work she sought to explore and make clear the connection between private and public violence between the domestic and the civic effects of patriarchal society, between male supremacy and the absence of peach and between ethics and aesthetics”[1] Virginia Woolf was very aware of how the First World War effected every British person’s life. The years after the way, especially the five in-between the end of the war and 1923 when the novel Mrs Dalloway is set were very important years in the development of British post war society. These were the years in which the effects of the war were absorbed into people’s lives and into society as a whole. The novel dwells on how certain individuals will never recover from the effects of the war, how certain changes cannot be absorbed.
