Today we continued the Slides.
Hitler was kinda beat by his father as a kid, and was treated a lot better by his mom. He was born in Austria, and went to an art school, but failed out. Anti-semitisim- was hatred of the Jews. People believe that as he grew up plays and stuff as a teen delt with a lot of anti-semitism.
In 1923 Hitler went around a lot of beer hall's and talked about his beliefs, making Germany strong, better times, and how he would provide it. He then tries to overthrow the Weimer Republic and goes to jail. During his trial he began to become well known, and only served nine months. He wrote the book 'Mein Kampf' which means my battle or my struggle. A Marxist is a Communist and he tried to say if all jews were communists then somthing somthing somthing. He tries to say in his book that God would want them to hate jews. The Devil and the Jew is the same. Jews dialute the pure blood status of Germans through rape.
A lot of the goals of his book were to get Germany strong, undoing the Treaty of Versi: rebuild the military and gain back land. Get his people to have more Nationalism. Another goal was Lebensraum- Living space. His goal to take over Germany.
The Nazi Propaganda: their way of advertising people to join the Nazi's. They put Adolf's face everywhere so they didn't forget who he was. Adolf controled the media, which made the Nazi's seem that their way was just and everything els was evil, no communists; no jews. He didn't like smart people, so they fled in the 30's because he seemed crazy. Most of their propaganda was militaristic posters.
Joseph Goobles, was one of Hitler's right hand men. He was a skinny man almost sickly, but one of the most powerful Nazi's who helped swayed public opinion with Propaganda's.
The Holocauset was a genocide (planned mass killings), of many Jews during WW ll. About two-thirds of the Jews in Europe died during the Holocaust, six million. It included other certain groups of people like; About 11 to 17 million people were Holocaust victums. Communists, Political Opponents, Jews, Polish, Dark-skinned, Homosecuals, mixed races, Gypsies, and Handicapped people were some of the people Hitler considered inferior.
The Aryan Race- They derived from the North Eastern area such as Norway and Germany. The perfect Aryan was blonde, blue-eyed, tall, and muscular (guy).
Lebensborn- fount of life. Promoted the growth of the Arian- German race. They'd build theese houses where the most fit Arian would go and 'hook up' with the ideal lady. These women volunteered so that they could get taken care of when they lost their jobs or somthing. These houses would take care of them while they were pregnant. After the war, these people were seen as traitors.
Then we continued the Slides:
Holocaust (1933)- Hitler comes to power. One of the first things he does it to suspend all their civil liberties. First concentrations camps (not death camps) set up, for Communists. Made is so that Jews could no longer work for Government, be doctors, teachers, or go to school anymore.
Holocaust (1935)- Nuremburg Laws: Took away German citizenship from Jews. Made them all second class citizens. It established membership to the Jewish race as being anyone who had Jewish grandparents. Eventually made it so that anyone with atleast one Jewish grandparent was considered a Jew. Then, Jews could only marry Jews, no sexual relations between non-jews germans and jews.
Holocaust (1936)- Nazi's boycott Jewish-ownded businesses.
Holocaust (1938)- Kristallnacht (night of the broken glass): All the Nazi's went in during the night and destroyed Jewish neighbourhoods and businesses, and burning them after stealing from them. 101 of their Jewish churches were destroyed, and 26,000 jews were sent to concentration camps (not death). Ninety-one died in the attack, not many.
All Jewish children were now expelled from Public schools in Germany abnd Austria. Any Jewish businesses were then taken over by the Nazi's.
Holocaust (1939)- Hitler orders the systematic murder of mentally and physically handi-capped people in Germany and Austria. Jews were then required to werar the armbands with yellow starts.
Holocaust (1940)- Many Nazi's are deported to Poland. They were forced to ghettos, then Nazi's first beging the mass murder of Jews in Poland.
Holocaust (1941)- In two days German units shoot 33,771 Ukrainian Jews. The first death camp in Poland is set up.
Holocaust (1942)- Nazi's announce their "Final Solution" to kill all jews. Now there are five death camps in Poland. Ghettos are being emptied and Jews being shipped to death camps. The United States, Great Britian, and the Soviet Union acknowledge the Germans are exterminating the Jews.
Holocaust (1943)- Jews in Warsaw Ghetto resist as the Nazis begin new rounds of deportations. They hold out for about a month before the Nazis put it down.
Holocaust (1944)- Hitler takes over Hungary and deports more jews.
Holocaust (1945)- Hitler is defeated and WW2 ends in Europe. Holocaust is over and death camps are emptied. Many survivors placed in displaced persons camps until they find a country that was willing to accept them.
Holocaust (1947)- The United Nations establishes a Jewish homeland called Isreal. Many countries have a dispute about this and want their land back.
Joseph Mengle was the chief physician at Auschwitz. He tested with a lot of the Holocaust victums, by trying to change their eye colors, tying veins together, testing things on twins, and doing a bunch of other stuff.
Kellogg-Briand Pact: Included many countries, and attempted to outlaw war. Sixty countries signed it and said they would no longer use war to settle disputes.
Japanese Invasion of Manchuria- Japan had control of Korea. Japan needed some resources and couldn't get it from the U.S. anymore. They had a growing population and a growing industry, and became the major power in Asia. In 1931 they invade Manchuria. They wanted coal, oil, iron, and hydro electric power then could sell it in their markets. They could then use Manchuria to attack the rest of china, which they did six years later.
After the invastion, the Legue of Nations basically did nothing, just told them to please with draw.
Franklin Roosevelt vs. Herbert Hoover- People blaming Hoover for their tough times, F.D.R. promises change adn brings in new deal (wins).
Good Neighbor Policy- America and Latin America try to get over their disputes and forget everything they've done to eachother.
Ethiopia invaded by Mussolini in 1936- Italy controlled the area above, and below Ethipia. Italy then had a goal to take it over, but failed. In 1935, Mussolini decides to get over the embaressment of it and attempt to take it over again and they invade. Eventually they did take over Ethiopia.
Legue of Nations kinda revolts against it by telling other countries not to trade with Italy or basically do anything with it. But Oil was not included in that deal. We then continued to give oil to Italy for money, basically giving them the fuel to keep going.
America was still being nuetral in the war, saying they will not trade weapons with countries or loan any money to countries at war.
Ethiopia was annexed in 1936 by Italy.
Spain- Spain has a civil war in 1936. Generalisimo Fransico Franco was fighting to keep the Communists out of power. Hitler sent money and troops to the general to help him win. This took attention from Hitler, and helped him to test his troops. Eventually Spain won, but stayed nuetral in the War, making Hitler unhappy but he didn't do anything about it.
FDR vs. Alf Landon in 1936- F.D.R. easily wins because his deals were kinda helping the States. They wanted more of the New Deal.
Rome-Berlin Axis forms in 1936. Hitler and Mussalini joined forces.
Japaneese wanted Manchuria to attack China. In 1937, Japan begins to attack China from Manchuria. China was too big for Japan to over-take them.
Japan treated the Chinese terribly when they attacked them. China still holds a grude against the Japanese because the Japs raped a lot of China's women when they were taking over the cities.
Quarantine Speech- Roosevelt gave a speech to state that we needed to come together and go to war to quarantine any of the communist countries. Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Soviet Union.
