Adolf Hitler's Impact During the 1930s

Even though there are figures during the 1930s that made a large impact during that time, none surpass Adolf Hitler. One of his impacts I would like to point out is one that is rarely discussed, the goodness he caused. Yes, he put hundreds of thousands of Jews in concentration camps, slaughtered Jews by the thousands, and hungered for world domination, but he allowed people today to be percautious about who we elect as our leaders. Those who witnessed the brutal treatment the Jews went through lead to people to be more accepting of others, especially those different from themselves. Even though Adolf Hitler did not intent to affect such behaviors, one can not talk about important historical icons without mentioning Hitler's name.

A View of WW1 as a Russian Student

Due to the needs of modernizing Russia, Russia had an increase in the number of universities and students. Being a student of a university in Russia, one would criticize autocracy, and see it as their mission to transform Russia. These students were known as "intelligentsia". In hopes of bringing change to the countryside, students organized a populist movement. Such idealists educated the peasants to make them more politically aware, and eventually formed the People's Will, which eventually led to murders of public officals to hasten the day of revolution.
They supported the idea getting rid of autocracy, though it is not clear if they supported the war. If I could make an inference, I would say that they did support the war, because they supported the peasants' knowlegde of what was occuring politically, and how unjust the peasants were being treated, and conflict to change that was inevitable.

This is my image depicting the Industrial Revolution.

A Female Worker During Industrialization

As a woman during the Industrial Revolution, there are many advantages and disadvantages.
Due to the close encounters with others, there was common language of religion and shared religious practices, causing workers to unit. Friendly societies were formed to serve as mutual aid during job-related accidents and diseases. During industrialization, women had more opportunities to receive jobs.
Even though women were given jobs, job segregation reserved best-paying jobs for men, while women and children carried lowest positions. Overcrowding in urban cities was norm. Since women worked, they sent their babies to "Baby farms", or individuals who were paid to take care of the child, so mothers were not able to be with their newborns, which is crucial time for a mother to be with her child. As a worker, females worked 16-hour days, at risk to factory accidents, and low wages.
Even though the Industrial Revolution is important in establishing key industrial innovations and rapid production, I am against industrialization. Not only was life in the factory unbearable, but outside the factory, centrifugal pumps drained large marshes, factories dumped waste ash into rivers causing dirty water, and air pollution which caused cancer and lung disease.

Peasants during the French Revolution

During the French Revolution, the peasants felt as though they were being treated unjust. The lowest class, the Third Estate, formed the National Assembly. As a result of food shortages, the Great Assembly created a decree abolishing the remnants of powers including the right to compel peasants to labor for the landlords as well as the bondage of serfdom. As well as abolishing serfdom bondage, the National Assembly abolished tithes for the church.

The Third Estate did such rebellious things, because they wanted equal representation in the government and treated justly. These desires appear in the written document, "Declaration of the Rights of Man of the Citizen". Such things as equal representation, "Every citizen has the right to participate personally, or though his representative" and freedom of speech, "The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious rights of man" were discussed in the document as a desires of the peasant people.

Enlightenment Monarch: Frederick the Great

Military: 10
Fredrick trans formed Prussia into one of the most potent in Europe. He invested heavily in army, he annexed Silesia, because he wanted more farmland and industry. The result of this is more land, meaning more room for the population to increase. He led army, and was tactically and strategically strong. He taught army how to attack in small units uniting only shortly before battle, and also concentrated on enemy's weak spots. He was the strongest in military, though he focused a majority of his time towards the military.

Louis XIV's Domestic Policy as a Clergy

Louis XIV donminated central government of France, and hired a handful of ministers to help him. Louis perferred working with middle class men, because he found that he could relate to them more. In his policy, he emphasized the importance of sound communication policy and overseas trade. More tax revenue was raised, and though this helped the economy, the lower classes, including the clergy, suffered for it.
Those who could afford the tax revenue paid the least after out-dated tax clauses and posts were bought by the wealthy. As a result, the lower classes, such as the peasants and the clergy, were heavily taxed. Clergy was left with barely any goods to buy because they had to pay such heavy taxes with such a low income job. Both Louis and Colbert, one of Louis's consultants, decreased the number of clergies. The clergy found this unjust.
