Russia‚ before Stalin‚ could absolutely be considered as being a weak and peasant country. China‚ before Mao Zedong‚ was attempting‚ but failing‚ to modernize efficiently under Nationalism.

Ian Kershaw was a medievalist who‚ nearly 30 years ago‚ turned his interests to the history of the Third Reich. This is the second volume of his encyclopaedic biography of Hitler‚ and the best thing in it is his treatment of Hitler’s effect on the German people. He intersperses his biography with evidence of German popular sentiment‚ fragmentary and yet telling. Many Germans (perhaps understandably) have tried to separate the history of Hitler from the history of the German people during the

No-one expected Henry Tudor to become king of England in August 1485. Explain why he succeeded.

He was descended from John through an illegitimate son who (along with his siblings) was retroactively legitimized but explicitly barred from succession to the throne

THE HOLOCAUST The holocaust was a very devastating time in history. It was the time where no one was safe in the east. The Germans would pull you away from you family if you fell under four categories which I will explain later. They would make you do very physical labor for free‚ and feed you bread with some soup.

To what extent has nationalism driven Chinese history? Chinese history has been guided to the global economic power player that it has become today‚ based largely on its nationalism. A strong sense of national pride and subsequent perceived competition with the rest of the world for superiority has given birth to a ‘technological revolution’ in more recent years.
