Cold War 3
... resulting in increased hatred and mistrust between the people of the United States and Russia. Noam Chomsky reminds us that Communism is a broad term that includes those with the ability to get control of mass movements. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles once stated that, “The poor people are the ones they appeal to and they have always wanted to plunder the rich.” So, in one view, the U.S. felt they must be overcome, to protect our doctrine that the rich should ravage the poor. This became another motivation for the Cold War. In his historical account of the events leading to the Cold War, Jacob H ...

Christianity And Judaism
... It is a simple fact that the Christian Tradition finds its roots in Judaism. Jewish men founded some of the first Christian churches. Because Christianity came about from the teachings of Jesus, it is important to understand where Jesus came from and what inspired His preaching. Most historians agree that Jesus probably attended the local synagogue and "gained there at least an oral familiarity with the Hebrew Scriptures and the demands of Pharisaic Judaism." As He grew older, He was influenced by the teachings of John, a preacher from a nearby town. John explained that in order to pass from Earth to the King ...

Battle Of Hurtgen Forest
... Everything is tangles. You can scarcely walk. Everybody is cold and wet, and the mixture of cold rain and sleet keeps falling. They jump off again, and soon there is only a handful of the old men left." (Ambrose, p. 167)
Not only were the fighting conditions horrible, but the reason for the soldiers to be there was meaningless. If Allied troops got to the river valley, the Germans to the north could release the Roer's Dams and flood the valley. The forest without Roer's dams was completely useless. The real objective should have been the Dams, which would have been a priceless asset to the Allies. The plan of at ...

This helped the housing idustry so much, causing new homes to be built and vacant ones to be inhabitted once again. Keeping this in mind there no question if it was beneficial.

Greek Olympics
... in the games (though there were a few exceptions in the equestrian events).
In addition to their significance as athletic events, the Athletic Games were one of the most important forces uniting the Greek world. Its political and economic importance is difficult to overstate. Before and during the games, a sacred truce [called ekecheiria] was called between all warring cities. This allowed every athlete to enter the games safely and promoted a sense of unity among an otherwise quarreling group of states. Beginning in the 6th century BCE, Olympia became the premier venue for the signing of inter-city treaties. Th ...

King Tut
... multiple gods. Amenhotep had abolished this belief and had
established a new order to worship the sun god Aten, which then he changed his
name to Akhenaten, meaning “servant of the Aten.” A new religion and capital
was established in Thebes. His new city was called Akhetaten, meaning “Horizon of
the Aten.” Akhenaten and his wife, Nefertiti had six daughters, and no one to be
the next pharaoh. Ankhesenpaaten was one of the daughters of Akhenaten and
Nefertiti. Ankhesenpaaten married Tutankhamun. After the death of Akhenaten,
Tutankhamun became the next pharaoh at age 9. Since he became a phar ...

Saddam Hussien War
... of justifying the invasion. He plead the fact that Kuwait had been part of the Ottoman province of Basra, a city in the south of Iraq. However, the Ottoman province collapsed after World War I and today's Iraqi borders were not created until then. There was also a further and more obvious blunder in a bid to justify this illegal invasion. Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, had namely recognized Kuwaiti independence in 1963. Furthermore, Hussein claimed that Kuwait had illegally pumped oil from the Iraqi oil field of Rumaila and otherwise conspired to reduce Iraq's essential oil income.
By invading Kuwait, Iraq succeed ...

The Constitution

This implies that the new government that was being formed derived its sovereignty from the people, which would serve to prevent it from becoming corrupt and disinterested in the people, as the framers believed Britain's government had become. If the Bill of Rights is considered, more supporting ideas become evident. The First Amendment's guarantee of religious freedom could have been influenced by the colonial tradition of relative religious freedom. This tradition was clear even in the early colonies, like Plymouth, which was formed by Puritan dissenters from England seeking religious freedo ...

So he took advantage in the middle of a politically destabilised Germany.
Short-term causes like the Munich Putsch helped his popularity, which was essential to his rise to power.
