When the Nazi party came to power in 1933, they saw the education system as a way to shape young minds of children to create a future generation of upstanding citizens in Germany. They made many significant changes to the education system to align it with their ideology. Since the nazis were such a quickly growing force of power they were able to manipulate their way into changing the school system for young children being raised in Germany. Children were taught to treat Jewish People worse, physical education was most important and women’s education changed significantly, and children were taught the Fuhrer's race is the purest and to spread Nazism.

Numerous aspects influences Europeans to immigrate to the United States including unemployment, the seeking of refuge from religious prosecution, food shortages, and increasing threats of war. Hope that America would provide a new home with a new start encouraged 6.3 million people to enter the United States between 1877 and 1890. Prior to the 1880’s, most immigrants originated from Germany, Ireland, and England; however, the sources began to shift away from northern and western Europe in the 1880’s.

The US experienced massive immigration from Europe in the 1800s, which saw millions of people across the Atlantic to the New World. These people came from all corners of Europe including Ireland, Germany, Italy, Norway, and other scores of other nations and provinces. The people came as young men and women in search of jobs, others as families fleeing religious persecution and others as political radicals who were fleeing from the police. In addition, others came as farmers in search of land and a new start for that matter, and as paupers hardly capable of affording the rites of passage. This was the first wave of immigrants that shaped the US in considerable ways.
