Movies blog again this weekend. Schindler's list? Sp?
We're gonna talk about twins today.
Continuation - year 1942. Final Solution.
Ghettos of Eastern Europe are being emptied as thousands of Jews are shipped to death camps. The US, GB and SU acknoledge that Germany is trying to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Roosevelt gets lots of flack for not helping the jews as much as he could have, he said it wasnt a military objective.
skip some,...
1945
Hitler is defeated...darn. missed the slide.
1947
The united nations establishes a Jewish homeland in British- controlled Palestine which becomes the State of Israel in 1948. and that just rubbed the islamic nations the wrong way. they would love to see it wiped off the face of the earth.
Nazi Death Camps- all death camps in Poland. Aushwitz was the worst, now a museum. pictures....trains went straight in through the entrance. Crematoriums. Mass burrials.
Twins time!
Joseph Mengele- was very interested in twins. Mostly because of their sameness and usefullness in scientific research.
Tony didnt know what castration is.
Things tested on twins: castration, lots of chemicals and medicines, etc.
Iosif Jughashvili - aka, Joseph Stalin.
Killed more people than hitler. However, hitler is seen as the worse villain, because hitler was totally racist, and stalin just killed the people he didnt trust. Also, he turned from axis to ally.
Stalin was short. 5'3. he went to school to become a priest. what?
There isnt really an occupation one can easily connect to becoming a mass-murderer.
Kellogg-Briand Pact. outlawed war. signed by LOTS of countries.
People are stupid for cheating, people cheat because they're stupid, people are stupid if they get caught cheating. lol.
Japan was really low in natural resources,
Japan, starting way back, had fuedalism- not one unified country, but little bits controlled by one people, who had armies of either ninja or samurai. as they grew stronger, they fought with one another and became more powerful, gained more land. Very agricultural economy. Some sailor guy made them open up ports. Japan didnt want to be taken over by European powers, so they became like them. They mimicked their nay after the strongest in the world, became industrial rather than agricultural, and became the dominant Asian power. Then they needed resources. so they went after Manchuria, part of china, which had lots of the resources japan needed, and they could buy japanese products so japan would profit economically, and it would be a military point from which to invade the rest of china in the future. so yeah.
Hitler saw the japanese invasion and noticed that the league of nations didnt do anything. the trend continued when he pushed the envelope by taking over austria when he became leader.
Hoover vs. Roosevelt elections. hoover was really unpopular, blamed for the great depression. people wanted a new deal, blowout for roosevelt.
