• This type of government emerged
because of the poor state of the
economies and countries after the WW1.
Italy and Germany are examples of these
countries.

treated like equals, and Germany was completely screwed
because she lost all her colonies and had to pay reparations.
Appeasement- They gave Hitler a little bit of land to make
him happy and avoid war, however Hitler is a greedy bastard
and wanted more land so he took more, by force.

on common ownership and control of the means of
production and property in general is a
socioeconomic structure and political ideology
that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian,
classless, stateless society based on common
ownership and control of the means of production
and property in general
#56. Hitler's early life
• rose to power in Germany during the 1920s and early 1930s at a
time of social, political, and economic upheaval. Failing to take
power by force in 1923, he eventually won power by democratic
means. Once in power, he eliminated all opposition and
launched an ambitious program of world domination and
elimination of the Jews, paralleling ideas he advanced in his
book, Mein Kamp. His "1,000 Year Reich" barely lasted 12 years
and he died a broken and defeated man.
#57. global depression
• The global economic situation looks increasingly bad as we
face a certain global depression primarily due to the insane
monetary policies of the central bankers. The Federal Reserve
is now attempting to bail out failing financial institutions by
creating more money out of thin air. Some of the big banks are
reporting losses greater than the assets they have on the
books.
58) Reason Stalin gained
control of Russia
After Lenin s death in 1924, Joseph Stalin quickly gained control of
the Communist party and the oppressive reforms started by Lenin
were continued and at length became completely totalitarian. Stalin
was able to attain control as a result of a multitude of reasons. He
was not, however, Lenin s choice for a successor. Lenin believed
that Trotsky was the best suitable to take the Communist party to the
next level. Trotsky was not all that popular among party members
though and Stalin was in a position as Gen Sek, or General
Secretary, to place his people in powerful positions throughout the
party. Also, Stalin worked extremely hard at achieving power
whereas Trotsky was rather lazy. Because of these reasons along
with Stalin s zero tolerance attitude towards everyone, he was able
to seize control.
59) Stalin's Reforms
•
Stalin put into effect two self proclaimed "five-year plans" over the course of his rule.
Both were very similar in that they were intended to improve production in the nation.
The first of these plans began collectivization, in which harvests and industrial
products were seized by the government and distributed as needed. The government
eliminated most private businesses and the state became the leader in commerce.
Stalin also initiated a process called "Russification". Through this program, he ruled
the minority nations of the USSR such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan more strictly.
This policy of expansion also helped Stalin seize a large portion of Poland, and it was
done under the guise that it was to "enrich the nation." Stalin established a secret
police force which was unyielding and went about it's business with an iron fist,
bringing down dissenters, revolutionaries, and those that cheated in collectivization.
Much of Stalin's effectiveness can probably be contributed to this police force;
because of their keenness in apprehending "criminals," Stalin went generally
unopposed and he could carry out his policies which no one liked, but everyone
endured. Anti-Semitism was abundant and encouraged at this time. Stalin's entrance
into WWII left the Soviet Union, although victorious, in shambles. These factors all led
to Stalin becoming an unpopular leader over his powerless people.
60) Weimar Republic
•
The Weimar Republic is the name given by historians to the parliamentary
republic established in 1919 in Germany to replace the imperial form of
government, named after Weimar, the place where the constitutional assembly
took place. Its official name was still Deutsches Reich (German Empire),
however. Following World War I, the republic emerged from the German
Revolution in November 1918. In 1919, a national assembly convened in the
city of Weimar, where a new constitution for the German Reich was written, to
be adopted on 11 August. The attempt to establish a liberal democracy in
Germany eventually failed 14 years later with the ascent of Adolf Hitler and the
Nazi Party in 1933. Although the 1919 Weimar constitution was never officially
repealed, the legal measures taken by the Nazi government in February and
March 1933, commonly known as Gleichschaltung ("forcible coordination")
destroyed the mechanisms of democracy. Therefore, 1933 is usually seen as
the end of the Weimar Republic and the beginning of Hitler's "Third Reich".
#61 League of Nations
• The League of Nations is a organizations
founded as a result of the Treaty Of
Versailles.

between Maria Theresia of Austria and Frederick the Great of
Prussia, had remained part of Austria.)
#63 Rhineland
• The Rhineland (Rheinland in German) is the general name for the
land on both sides of the river Rhine in the west of Germany. After
the collapse of the French Empire in the early 19th century, the
German-speaking regions at the middle and lower course of the
Rhine were annexed to the kingdom of Prussia.
70. Franklin D. Roosevelt
• Roosevelt provided Lend-Lease aid to Winston Churchill
and the British war effort before the United States' entry
into World War II in December 1941. Franklin Delano
Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often

Josef Stalin (born – 18 December 1878 – 5 March 1953) was the General
Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee
from 1922 until his death in 1953. In the years following Lenin's death in
1924, he rose to become the leader of the Soviet Union. Stalin launched a
command economy,replacing the New Economic Policy of the 1920s with
Five-Year Plans and launching a period of rapid industrialization and
economic collectivization.
73.Truman
As President, Truman made some of the most
crucial decisions in history. Soon after V-E Day,
the war against Japan had reached its final
stage. An urgent plea to Japan to surrender was
rejected. Truman, after consultations with his
advisers, ordered atomic bombs dropped on
cities devoted to war work. Two were Hiroshima
and Nagasaki. Japanese surrender quickly
followed.

National Fascist Party and is credited
with being one of the key figures in the
creation of Fascism.
75.Auschwitz
• Auschwitz-Birkenau became the killing centre where the
largest numbers of European Jews were killed during the
Holocaust. After an experimental gassing there in
September 1941 of 850 malnourished and ill prisoners,
mass murder became a daily routine. By mid 1942, mass
gassing of Jews using Zyklon-B began at Auschwitz,
where extermination was conducted on an industrial
scale with some estimates running as high as three
million persons eventually killed through gassing,
starvation, disease, shooting, and burning ...

Korea in 1902[citation needed]. Russia was attempting to pull
Korea under its control, while Japan had just secured
recognition of its rights in Korea from the British. In an attempt
to prevent any conflict, Japan proposed to Russia that the two
sides split Korea into separate spheres of influence along the
38th parallel. However, no formal agreement was ever reached,
and Japan later took full control of Korea.

the weapons its government decided to do all they could to ensure the
removal of them. The United States also considered covert action again and
had inserted CIA paramilitary officers from their Special Activities Division.
