Document 42-B It was just a normal Friday night-shift for Guard 528. He worked as a part-time officer at the insane asylum. Walking into the asylum was like diving into a pool of screams. For any other person that is what it sounded like, but for the guards it was like walking into any other place.
For a pirouette to be perfect you have to have certain elements. If you don’t hold your core, spot, and place your arms correctly you will fall. Just like you can fall out of a turn Rome fell. There were three significant reasons for the “fall” of Rome, political assassinations, legal injustice, and natural disasters. Of these, the most important reason was political assassinations.
During the eighteenth century, intellectual changes began to dismantle traditional values and institutions in Europe. Liberal ideas arose from the French Revolution which became the root to the nationalist feeling among the Italians. In 1861, the Italian states, a previously small confederation of semi-autonomous states located on the Apenning Peninsula, were unified as the Kingdom of Italy. This process occured due to a series of events and the actions of various figures, but three men in particular made unification possible: Giuseppe Mazzini, Count Camillo di Cavour and Giuseppe Garibaldi. Mazzini initiated the idea of an independent and unified Italian nation through his movement of Young Italy.
Italian Unification DBQ Unification of Italy was a long and convoluted process compared to other nations of Europe. After many of the nations of Europe have banded together to form nation states there were only a couple of countries that have not unified. When the people of Italy decided that it was time to unify their country, there were many different ideas of what a unified Italy would look like. Among the ideas of Italian unification there were three major figures that each had their own ideas on the unification of Italy.
Roman citizens had come to consideration that they, indeed, did have a poor government. The Roman government gave an unjust life to people based on their social rank (Document E). This led to the citizens not appreciating the government as well as the Empire. Most of the emperors in Rome were assassinated so it gives the citizens the intention that if you did not like the emperor you can just kill them (Document A).This tells the reader that it was hard to govern Rome because they constantly kept replacing emperors. Considering that Rome did not have a stable ruling system, citizens of Rome began to doubt and not depend on their government.
Water and Rice While both the Romans and the Hans appreciated the technology used to power their cities’ water systems, the Romans were more intent on more “elite” advancements such as science and law, while looking down upon the more practical farming inventions that were appreciated by the Hans. As the Romans increased their slave labor via the conquering of territories, society’s elite cared little about making the work easier for their slaves. This led them to focus more on abstract advancements such as science and law. The Hans, however, relied heavily on agriculture and had a higher respect for its farmers, which promoted technological advancement in tools that would increase production. Documents 2 and 4 can be coupled because they both show the appreciation the Hans had towards the technology used in the agricultural sector.
The issues that eventually led to the secession of the southern states had been brewing for a considerable amount of time. Most people want to say that the reason for the war was slavery, while yes that was an issue it don’t start the war and wasn’t brought up into a little ways in to the war. One of the biggest issues that truly led to the states seceding was the debate over States’ rights. There had been a debate for years on if the federal government had the right to pass laws reversed laws already in place at state level, going far back as 1798.
Although nationalism alone played a vital role in the Revolutions of 1848, liberal politics and school of thought would ultimately change the way nationalism would take hold in the unification process -- facilitating both processes in Italy and Germany. In late February of 1848, revolutions spread
Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany were similar in that both were dictatorships. Both Mussolini and Hitler came to power through legal means and believed that people were divided into either inferior or superior races. For example, Hitler was obsessed with the Aryan race and called for the genocide of Jews during WWII. In addition, both Mussolini and Hitler favored the wealthy, believed that an individual was meaningless and must submit to the decisions of their leaders, and aimed at self-sufficiency so that each could survive entirely without international trade. Furthermore, Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy “had aimed for prestige and power for their countries, and brought instead humiliation and destruction” (Tarr, R.,
European power prior to 1871 had been dominated by a handful of larger countries. Various smaller states existed but had little influence in the overall politics of Europe. Germany and Italy would, however, upset this balance. Germany and Italy took advantage of increasing nationalism taking place in Europe. These countries would form a series of unions to finally emerge as more influential states.
The book, “Upheaval and Continuity A century of German History,” walks us through the events taken place between 1817 and 1971 in Germany. It takes us from the unification of Germany to their stand as a nation during their postwar period. The book opens up with the chapter titled, “The second German Empire,” focused on the very beginning of the country we know today as Germany. Before Germany became “Germany,” it was known as “The Holy Roman Empire,” a group of about 300 city states that functioned through their interdependence of each other. In the 17th century, the more well known city states, Prussia and Austria, began gaining power and authority as they began incorporating more German territory under their names.
The question “To what extent did the USA play a leading role in the German reunification in the end of the twentieth century?” is of great significance because the reunification is seen as one of the most spectacular and especially positive events in the German history. After the 25 year anniversary in 2015 since Germany was officially reunited the question is risen who the main leading role played in the negotiations. Many politicians are seen as the leaders of the reunification and many want to be because the two years of 1989 and 1990 symbolize great international collaboration and the belief to unit a country, which was divided for more than forty years from 1949 to 1990 into two different states West Germany and the German Democratic Republic
The early 1900s in Italy brought a number of changes that kept the society unbalanced. In the year 1900 Victor Emmanuel III came into power after his father was assassinated, Mussolini came into power with his Fascist movement, and a new Pope was elected, both in the 1920s. Emmanuel III was a weak man who never felt secure with his position because of his outward appearance (The Pope and Mussolini, pg. xxiii). Mussolini came to power in 1922 and Achille Ratti, later know as Pope Pius the XI, and was also elected in 1922. This time period was at war as well, the First World War was beginning to rage in 1914, with both men being influenced by their positions within the war.
Benito Mussolini, the now deceased dictator of Italy from 1925 to 1943, was the glimmering hope that the people of Italy looked to during their time of need. Some considered him a leader, a dictator, and even a God. Not many people know how he attained this power or what went wrong that led to his demise. Yet, he was able to leave his mark on Italy throughout his reign and even some time after. Mussolini’s rise and fall to power as dictator of Italy is attributed to his control over the people, him maintaining a good image towards the people and foreign countries, his economic decisions, and his inability to make effective decisions.
Through these struggles Italians would thrive through the strength they found within their families. Southern Italy was very different from the North, The North was prosperous and full of culture. “Southern Italy was ruled by Spanish monarchy and was drowning in poverty”. The south sought unity with the north and believed they would find relief from the oppression of Spain. Unfortunately, the unity of
