Lueger was a Nazi, with strong anti-Semitic views, which seemed to be a logical answer for Hitler and his problems. It was around this time that Hitler was drafted by the army. Instead of going to fight for his country, he chose to flee to Germany. Which is a bewildering thought seeing as how he voluntarily joined the German army when he got there.
After the war, Hitler joined up with a right wing campaign whose job was to spy on other government groups. Upon spying on one of the parties, the N.S.D.A.P. or Nazi p .....

For Another Man's Freedom
Words: 527 - Pages: 2.... During the fighting these soldiers not only did not see this
as the rebirth of a nation, but had "forgotten the cause" altogether. I do
not believe that these men were necessarily fighting specifically for the
rights of the slaves, but rather for the rights of all men including
themselves. These men were thought to be "privileged", and at the time I
am sure they believed that they were taking part in an inconceivable
historical event. I am sure that at that time they did not realize that
this would be an ongoing struggle even three-hundred years after their
existence. The soldiers entered this battle with great pride, holding
their flag .....

A education provides a strong foundation of knowledge in many fields allowing students to create new theories and inventions. With this foundation, there are endless possibilities that students can expand and build on what others have learned rather than wasting time on what has already been discovered.
In order to illustrate, I'll use the example of the telephone. The telephone was an ingenious invention that was combined with the innovation of a free thinker, Alexander Graham Bell. Bell created the first working telephone and the impact of the telephone on society, over the past 100 year .....

dominated society, these were just the bits of images that African Americans
or should I say "blacks" because either way, even if you were black from
Jamaica or from some other places, the white majority still considered you as
"niggers". A race that is inferior and has no way into revolting against
the domination of whites. There were a lot of regulations and restrictions
that blacks faced during the time of slavery. Being considered a property is
one of the hardship that they went through. They were basically treated like
animals with no saying. .....

Louis XIV(1661-1715) is responsible for a considerable gain in the power of France. He had huge armies, (at some points reaching up to half a million troops), that were organized with barracks, hospitals, parade grounds, and depots to support them. Along with an organized enormous fleet at sea, France became a true hybrid power. Its energies were diverted between continental aims and maritime and colonial ambitions.

Farmers' Discontent In The 1800s
Words: 1405 - Pages: 6.... During the last twenty
years of the nineteenth century, many farmers in the United States saw
monopolies and trusts, railroads, and money shortages and the
demonetization of silver as threats to their way of life, though in many
cases their complaints were not valid.
The growth of the railroad was one of the most significant
elements in American economic growth. However, in many ways, the railroads
hurt small shippers and farmers. Extreme competition between rail
companies necessitated some way to win business. To do this, many
