The Allied troops decided to invade Northern France because at the time Nazi Germany was occupying France. The Normandy beaches were chosen because they were the least protected, giving the Allies an upper hand. Germany would also be distracted by a fake attack launched on June 5 and the real attack on June 6. During the invasion, the air troops had the job to try and destroy or sabotage any railroads, bridges, or any other ways German forces might send in reinforcements. The first wave arrived at the beaches after midnight and began attacking the five beaches.…
In 1793, France was at war with it’s surrounding countries; Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, and the United Netherlands. France turned to America for support because in America’s time of need, during The American Revolution, France aided America. France thought it was time for America to repay them. In response, the US drafted the Proclamation of Neutrality which said that they would not be taking any side in the war. Although some may say that America was obligated to aid France, America made the right decision to stay neutral, since America was vulnerable lacking a strong army, and they had no legal obligation to take action.…
One of them being that Germany was frustrated over the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was upset that they had to follow unfair demands, including paying for all of the damages of World War I, lessening their armies, and limiting their military. In time, an aggressive ruler in Germany came to power named Adolf Hitler. Hitler felt that the outcome of the Treaty of Versailles was unfair, so he did the opposite of what the treaty stated and put all the money into building a stronger military. As time went on, Germany wanted to reunite their brother land (doc 1). Since other powerful countries feared the power of Hitler and his army, they gave into him, following the policy of appeasement. They agreed to the terms in which the “Big Four” gave Czechoslovakia over to Germany in order to resist war (doc 4). Hitler believed it was their right to the land because Germany owned it, post-World War I. In addition, at the start of World War II, most nations were in a worldwide depression. This state of depression, made it easier for aggressive and charismatic rulers to take control over weak nations. The people hoped the powerful rulers would help to fix and change the economy. Many of the great powers thought it was a good idea to give into appeasement. On the other hand, many disagreed and argued that by giving into one demand today would cause the nation to weaken “tomorrow” (doc…
“A Good Man Is Hard To Find” is written by Flannery O’ Connor. This cynical short story takes a dive into this family’s lives while they are on a road trip to Florida. During this supposed to be long-lasting vacation, the reader gains a grasp of each character and their personalities. As this ‘not so close’ family travels through Georgia, the grandmother and children convinced the father, Bailey, with their whining, to go off course to some house the grandmother remembers. Unfortunately, the grandmother forgot to mention that the detailed house she remembers is in Tennessee, not Georgia. At the same moment the grandmother’s cat latches onto Bailey’s neck as panic sweeps through when their car flips twice into a ditch. The overwhelming feeling of being saved arises as they watch strangers slowly pull up, quickly fades when the grandmother screams, “You’re The Misfit”. Throughout this story, both the Misfit and the grandmother are unable to see the truth about themselves and are in deniable about their self-concept. The grandmother is a self-deluded, manipulated woman who is convinced that she is a good person and comes from ‘good blood’ and her grandchildren, John Wesley and June Star, see right through it. Her son, Bailey, is only tolerant of her because she is his mother, up until her ignorance is too much for him to handle during the accident. The Misfit, a criminal and a murderer, is equally if not more self-deluded than the grandmother. Ironically, he has a seriousness about life’s meaning (of lack thereof) and a searching need to look below the surface of events that the grandmother lacks. It takes the murder of the grandmother’s family and the immanent threat of her own death to break through her hard shell of denial and open her eyes to her common humanity with the lowly Misfit at the end of the story.…

They wanted someone, or in this case people to blame.…

So, they would want to have another war and send more people to serve for them to seem like they are doing a good thing for their country.…

As mentioned earlier, the treaty of Versailles humiliated Germans, who had their pride taken away. The military restriction, allies reparation, and the loss of lands made it harder for Germany to pay back the victorious countries. Germany was not able to pay the debt as its economy was in ruins. This created political instability and facilitated the path for the Nazis to rise due to the perception that they possessed solutions for hunger and economic problems. Additionally, they created a scapegoat though villainizing the Jewish population and other minority groups. Through all of this, the Nazi Party gained support from Germans citizens. This was the perfect climate for Hitler to spread his ideologies. In this scenario of chaos, that was primarily…
