Pre-World War I Germany
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses Germany at the turn of the 20th century and the various issues confronting it prior to World War I. The international rivalries of European nations, the brewing revolution in Russia, the changes taking place in all nations but especially those of the Western world were proving to have a significant impact on Germany. Germany’s out-of-date ruling classes were, for the most part, unable to accept the emergence of a new political mindset of the time. Bismarck’s “Realpolitik,” Wilhelm II’s “Weltpolitik,” and the July Crisis of 1914 demonstrates an understanding of the fact that the various maneuvers being made by the German government were more directly related to the actual advancements of a single nation rather than any attempt to establish a dominance or parity with other European nations.

Rationale For Australia's Contributions To The War Against Hitler In World War II
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Understanding – let alone condoning – the rationale for Australia's contributions to the war against Hitler in World War II leaves many historians perplexed by what was an obviously poor military and political investment in the Singapore Strategy. The extent to which this move wholly threatened Australia's safety as an isolated white continent was both grand and far-reaching; one might readily surmise that had the adamant caution of some been heeded, this period of history would have had an entirely different outcome.
