Unionization


As a female factory worker, unionization was a terrible thing. It created very poor working conditions that was bad for our health at the factory. The area around us was very polluted and overcrowded from the unionization. However, it did cause more job opportunites for males and females in the city to help provide for their families and be apart of the working class. Unfortunately, the best paying jobs still belonged to men and in the factory we were forced to work long, busy days. AS tough as it was, I was just thankful to have a job in the factory that allowed me to make money along with my husband.

Hilter

Included in those beliefs were that there was an Aryan race, Germans were better than all, Christians were better than Jews, and communism was evil. The Aryan race Hitler supported was mostly German and British, and the people had to have white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. He did not even fit into his perfect culture. Hitler believed that Jews were the source of all evil. He thought they were going to pollute the blood of the Arayn race. Another group he dispised was the communist because he felt that they threatened the Nazi party. He spoke his views loudly, sharing them with all as he rose in power in the German government. He even went as far as to create youth camps instilling these beliefs in German children. His prejudice would go on to make millions suffer. He was a great tyrant during his time, creating a huge impact on the world.

Fredrick the Great

Fredrick the Great fought to oppose Austrian ambitions, and earned a great reputation as a military commander in the War of the Austrian Succession (1740--8). He seized Silesia, and defeated the Austrians, and in the second Silesian War he gained further territories. He skillfully employed the limited Prussian resources to make his kingdom the most powerful German state during the seven Years War (1756-63). In 1772 he participated in the first partition of Poland, and by the time he died he had doubled the area of his country.
