Causes Of German Unification

The US still firmly believed, however, that it was a German company and therefore fell under the jurisdiction of the Trading with the Enemy Act. The US rejected Article IV and its call to unblock Interhandel, claiming it was of the

This political party felt that the ratification of the Constitution would only intensify the problems of the new country. An excerpt from Mercy Otis Warren’s book, “Observations on the New Federal Constitution and on the Federal and State Conventions”, explains “The executive and the legislature are so dangerously blended that they give cause for alarm... There is no provision for a rotation nor anything else to prevent a political office from remaining in the same hands for life.” Warren shows with this quote that with a new Constitution the powers of the executive and legislative branches were too close in power. She felt that with this imbalance of power the government would not last very long.

Both Alexander Mackenzie and John A. Macdonald contributed greatly to making Canada what it is today. However, due to being on opposing political parties, they both came up with completely opposite policies. First of all, while Mackenzie was seeking free trade with the USA, Macdonald implemented the National Policy. In addition, both Mackenzie and Macdonald had different intentions towards the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) project. Macdonald wanted to complete the CPR project, however, Mackenzie gave it no thought and immediately cancelled it.

When the colonists were still with Great Britain, King George III misused his power. As a result, colonists wrote the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, to the king, to state their separation from Great Britain, to form a new country, the United States of America. After creating a new country, Americans wrote the Articles of Confederation in the year 1777, which they purposely weakened central government, so the abuse of power, wouldn’t exist. This meant the states had all the power. Although this structure of government seemed great, the creators of the Articles quickly realized that with no central government, states weren’t united because they were busy on increasing the growth of only their state.

Each had complete different opinions, and it was just getting everybody upset. Buchanan made the Northerners even more angry by supporting the Lecompton Constitution, which would have allowed Kansas to become a slave state, but it was voted down and Kansas became a part of the Union. The republicans then started to block most of Buchanan’s agenda, so James vetoed republican legislation. James did not want reelection in 1860. Buchanan didn 't think that states had the right to become independent, but he didn 't have any proof from the constitution to prove it.

Wilson’s war message to Congress argued that non-democratic governments like those of Germany, endanger democracy. Wilson believed that warfare is likely to be produced by non-democratic countries where democratic governments never would produce it. The imperial government of Germany posed a threat for world peace and democracy by not taking action in what could endanger their country. No inspection on the leader of Germany is provided, thus allowing him to endanger peaceful countries. Wilson believes that peace between autocratic nations is very unlikely due to this dictatorial leader who is absorbed within their own rules.

Germans refused adoption because of negative biological inheritances. White Americas interested in adoption highlighted the possibility of positive environmental impact which can lead to child improvement (Fehrenbach, Race After Hitler 137). After a lot of discussions and law amendments, it seemed that neither West Germans nor U.S. officials “were eager to claim responsibilities for the children and the social problem they were perceived to embody” (Fehrenbach, Race After Hitler 142). Individual efforts were exerted to adopt colored children. An example is Mabel Grammer who, and her husband, adopted “eleven German children” (Fehrenbach, Race After Hitler 148).

Although the author believes that Hitler did not fulfill his goals, he fails to realize that even though Hitler did not anticipate the results of the war ending the way they did, Hitler still managed to successfully execute his main goals. Hitler was able to take total control of a nation and expanded his territory into a “German Empire”, he increased nationalism within Germany which allowed him to gain more supportive people, and because he had

Up until 1945, when he killed himself, Hitler was the dictator of Germany as Führer. Starting with the United State’s entrance into the war, the German holdings in other European countries collapsed (Bessel). Culture of the Third Reich When the Nazis took power, they took control of everything, and they regulated it.

The treaty which ended the war was called the Treaty of Versailles and was

Furthermore, the German military was to be reduced. The military was limited to 100,000 men and 6 battleships, however, they were not allowed to have submarines or an air force. This would wound German pride as Bismarck had stressed the importance of the military during his time.

After World War I, Germany had lost is land, so France had taken control of the Rhineland. In March 7th 1936, Germany sent troops into the Rhineland as a Declaration of taking back what was theirs. As (Document 3) articulates: “Berlin, March 7-Germany today cast off the last shackles fastened upon by the Treaty of Versailles when Adolf Hitler […] sent his new battle lions into the Rhineland’s demilitarized zone”. When France came to ask the League for help, The League of Nations didn’t lend their

“The Federalists saw the economic future in manufacturing, but not political role of “common man.” Little faith in democracy.” “Republicans saw political future of “common man” participating in republic, Faith in the new democracy, but failed to see that farming was not economic future.” (Class notes) Each group had ideas that needed support from one another.

The treaty they wrote was ruined. But eventually France and Britain got what they wanted, which was a peace treaty that demanded Germany for peace and them not to rise up another war. The United States was not even on that peace treaty, but history says that Woodrow got his powerful nation, just not the one he wanted. This peace treaty that demanded Germany to obey, gave loss to some of their land. So secretly Germany said that they would do anything they can to get what they had back and then some.

After the elections of 1860s the Whigs party was left behind, and a new party was created to make a positive impact for the future. Abraham Lincoln became the first Republican president, and also he was one the best presidents the United States ever had. Since then, the United States has been ran by the sectional parties. Even thought it was not the first political party, the Republican Party was created to make a change, the Republican Party let humans be treated like humans. The Republican Party beat the Democrats and Whigs in making a movement against slavery, in my opinion is because is something that they were scared of, however the new sectional party helped them win the election of 1860, and then abolished slavery.
