I read that the Germans military was limited to 100,000 after WW1 so how did post war Germany under Hitlers rule manage to make military service mandatory and build a new military without anyone stopping them?

Or was it the Czech and Slovak Socialist Republics?

Thanks.

If so, what were their motives and stories. How did DDR troops react?

I was just stroling through my TV channels and I saw something about The Knights Templar on the History Channel. There was only 10 minutes left in this 2 hour documentary so I couldn't really watch it. I don't care much about the Templars, but I really love watching documentaries about medieval Europe and Rome. So I went through the history channels upcoming programming for the next week and there is not another documentary of any kind. Every show is American Pickers, Pawn Stars, and shows like that. I remember like 5 years ago there was always awesome documentaries on the history channel. It just sucks I can't find any on TV anymore

What caused them to be so radical that they saw kamikaze fighting as effective/viable form of attack. Did it have to do anything with the Bushido code? Where did their fanaticism come from?

Don't really know how else to word that. I heard this was a thing in Rome.

With some of the high casualty battles, I wonder why there isn't just hundreds of thousands of artifacts at these areas. I am not talking about finding a pot or old furnace at an excavation site; I mean THOUSANDS of soldiers died in these battles. Why is there relatively little proof?

Obviously we now see these as a big change in government and system, but would this distinction of what a political revolution have started with the French Revolution where the system did more or less go full circle?

In Guderian's "Panzer Leader" he mentions early on that Hitler visited the front less and less frequently as the war dragged on and "by doing so he lost contact with the feelings of the troops." Is this true of other heads of state?

So far as I can tell, the content of an economics undergraduate degree in the west has been fairly stable for several decades or more - a combination of neoclassical economics (Jevons, Walras, Menger) and Keynesian (including Hicks, Philips) macroeconomics, and more recently some criticism of the latter (Friedman). Would an economics education in the USSR have included much the same things, would it have focused on Marxist economics as laid out in Das Kapital, or would it have been something else entirely?

In other words, what else was being written at that time in history?

Or, what would it have shared shelf space with in an ancient bookstore?

While reading about Woodrow Wilson, I often see many authors writing about how revolutionary his foreign policy was. I see mentions of internationalism, self-determination, idealism, and advancing the causes of democracy.

Just how revolutionary were the Wilsonian ideals when compared to his predecessors? Are we still seeing the effects of his foreign policies today? If possible, I would like to see some specific events or policies that demonstrate just how important or different his foreign policy was. Thanks!

I was wondering how did the modulus 7 system has became internationally acknowledged. Which other weekly system were used prior (and parallel) to this system, and are still some of those systems in use today (like the use of Islamic and Jewish calendars).

I know the 7 days week is taken from Genesis 1, after the Seven days of Creation. The seventh day is called "Sabbath" which means rested\ceased to work in Hebrew. As in that day god has completed his work and stopped to gaze in awe upon his creation. 7 is a Typological number which held significance in early cultures.

Yet I am all around clueless about other weekly systems used in different cultures, such as pre-Christian Rome or eastern civilizations. were there any attempts to install a 6 days system to go side by side with other time measuring units (24 hours, 12 months, 60 seconds and (originally) 360 days)?

I know the question is pretty loaded and I am re-writing it to "Why the allies won WWII"

This is for a final paper that was just thrown at us last minute. One of the major portions I need help on is we have to incorporate an understanding of the timeline of the war.

My thesis as it stands is: The Allies won the war because of their relentless manufacturing, the superior cooperation between allies, and the geographical barriers that protected not only the US, but Britain.

Do you guys have any specific facts that I could bolster my argument with?

I remember seeing toasters meant to work on a fireplace in a mueseum once and I know the origin of the name but when did people actually start toasting allready cooked bread?
