The Holocaust - The Way It Was
Words: 4856 - Pages: 18.... deaths, but 11
million people whose lives were cut off because of racism and hate, all in
a period of 11 years (1933-1945). There are actually two main phases to the
Holocaust, the period between 1933 and 1939, the Nazi rise, and the period
between 1939 and 1945, the period of war, or more specifically, World War
II. The first concentration camp opened in January 1933, when the Nazis
came to power, and continued to run until the end of the war and the Third
Reich: May 8, 1945.

The Twenties And Thirties
Words: 617 - Pages: 3.... cars. With the assembly line they made a lot more cars in one day than they did before. Instead of paying for the cars with cash, people could now use credit to purchase items. Since most families didn't have the money, they would buy the car with credit and pay off the debt later.
The thirties was a bad time for the automotive industry. By now Ford had made a Model-A and had three new colors: tan, purple and black. All of the companies were making more cars than they could sell. Nobody had enough money to buy a car because of all of the banks going under. Millions of people lost whole fortunes.

The Movie Bugsy
Words: 1640 - Pages: 6.... boss
Warren Beatty was the main character in this film. Virginia Hill was Bugsy’s love interest. These two actors did a wonderful job of acting in a manner congruent with the times of the 40’s. The cast was sprinkled with tremendous talent such as Harvey Keitel, Ben Kingsley, and Elliot Gould. As a whole I think the cast did a magnificent job taking the viewers to an era of America, which is not easily forgotten by those who lived through it. A time when the world was being destroyed by the Nazi Germans was over shadowed by America’s self-involvement. A time when Americans were beginning to be proud of their little .....

Monets Green Reflections
Words: 940 - Pages: 4.... favourite due mainly to the use of the green colour to indicate darkness of the water. The painting seems busy, yet not overpoweringly so. There is much for the eye, while allowing room for personal interpretation.
Visually appealing, “Green Reflections” is a classic example of Monet’s personal style, being both scientific and painterly.
This particular painting has captivated many admirers with its pretty pastel colours, prevalent in many of Monet’s works. The yellows and pinks of the lilies are in strong contrast to the deep blues and jungle greens of the water.
Monet brought the study of the transient effects of natural lig .....

The next day, Leon and McKinley returned to the exposition. In the afternoon, the President began shaking hands with people lined up by the Temple door. Near the end of this line, Leon waited patiently. His hand was wrapped in a handkerchief, which he held close to his chest, but no one seemed to notice. When the President reached him, Leon extended his left hand, pressed it against .....

Great Man Theory Analysis Juli
Words: 1748 - Pages: 7.... Caesar as a ‘Great Man’, we must first establish the criteria by which he is to be judged, the criteria of the ‘Great Man’ Theory. According to Russell Hooks, author of an essay on the Great Man Theory, a ‘Great Man’ is an event-making man. A person who, through conscious will and extraordinary shows of leadership skills and intelligence, influences the flow of history. An event-making man does not cause events to happen by chance, such as through inheritance. He purposely alters the flow of history immensely from that which it would have been without his existence1. On the contrary, an eventful man is one who also alters the fl .....

Black Legend
Words: 2002 - Pages: 8.... the Spanish were cruel to the natives in their colonies just because they were Catholic. Based on the given articles written from the majority of which were brought about from different view and opinions, this legend in my opinion must be true. Such people who wrote these letters or documentaries were well- trusted statesmen, and to lie to the governor of one's nation was considered to be a sin to both the Majesty and to God. Even in the views of those belonging to Spain and the Catholic Church, the Spaniard's attempt to exemplify themselves in the New World was an unjustly and cruel cause.
The main reason for Spain’s barbaric app .....
