5 Similarities
1. Both fascism and Nazism wanted to expand their empires. Fascists thought that they needed to expand their empire in order to grow stronger and have greater success. National socialists also liked the idea of an expanded empire because it lead to unity.
2. The two also had to overthrow a former government to get into power. Hitler overthrew the Weimar government and Italy overthrow the monarchy.
3. Both fascism and Nazism do not want any kind of democracy or other form of government, " We demand substitution of a German common law in place of the Roman Law serving a materialistic world-order". They want to not be apart of other forms of government like socialism or democracy.
4. Both Nazism and fascism believed that everything done should be done to benefit the state. Every action completed should be for the better of the state not to selfishly benefit an indvidual.
5. Both prepared their military for war. Hitler wanted a strong military because only through military force would he gain more land, and thus more power and money. Mussolini prepared his military so that the Italian people would fear the military's strength, only through fear would he be able to control the people.
1. I think that German Nazism would appeal more to adolescents. German propaganda targeted the younger audience. German Nazism agreed to give better education and protection to the younger.
2. I think that the hardest part of getting the population’s acceptance is getting the public’s trust. Mussolini created his own newspapers to get it into the public, he wanted to share his ideas to the public and tries to gain public acceptance to them.
3. I think the hardest part of gaining public acceptance in Nazism is proving that their new government was better that their former government, the Weimar Republic. Hitler used propaganda to gain public trust and he was also a great public speaker so it helped the public accept him.

Fascism Notes
-Fascism: system of government with a dictator, suppression through fear & censorship, ideas of nationalism & racism.
- knowing that the Weimar Government was weak, Hitler plans an uprising. November 1923, Hitler & armed military(Nazis) entered a beer hall in Munich(city in germany) where the Bavarian(Bavaria=region in Germany) government had a meeting with 3,000 officials. Hitler attempts to overthrow the Weimar government. Hoped that nationalist revolution in Bavaria would spread to the dissatisfied German army, then bring down the government in Berlin. uprising failed & Hitler was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison for high treason.
-as soon as out of prison Hitler & followers try to get in power in Germany’s parliament, Reichstag
Appointed chancellor by president Hindenburg b/c
• persuaded the Nazis would become more moderate
• though Hitler could be controlled (majority of people in the cabinet were not Nazis)
• Hitler accepted b/c:
• Loss of seat in Nov. 1932 election foreshadowed a decline of the Nazis
• He hoped he could organize the next new elections so the Nazis would obtain an overall majority
-Hitler was chanceller, places himself as top of the government after president Hindenburg dies
-political, social, economic reasons of fascism rise
-weimar republic : gov established after versaille treaty. Unstable. Exploit system to get in power

-blamed French for taking German land back from the Versasille treaty, didn’t like Russia because scared of them & their revolutions, blame upperclass & jews for taking all money/they were greedy
-got country riled up to support him. Said that article 231 which said germany was responsible for the WW1 & versaille treaty unfair to germans
-b/c of being a great public speaker, Hitler used his fascist ideas that would sell to german people. They liked idea of fascism & nationalistic pride & its political/ economic solutions, appeal to germans
-german have no faith in the government, want change that Hitler promise, believe that fascism was the only way to go
Characteristics

- so basically, people have no freedom whatsoever
- Nationalism = uniting force that bring germans together
propaganda shape germany into nazi form. Play such a big role that Hitler had a minister of propaganda (Joseph Goebbels)
o use press campaigns, whirlwind campaigns by air, film shows, etc.
o propaganda target special interest groups.
o Also target and appeal to the german youth
Anschluss- incorporation of Austria & Germany. One of first major steps into Hitler’s dream to create one empire that includes all German speaking territories
Lebensraum- concept that means finding additional living space. Hitler wanted to enlarge Germany within Europe. He wanted all of former German territory back. He claimed it was living area, they didn’t really need it but demanded it. Thought it would make military stronger & make Germany more self sufficient by having food & raw material sources available
• The army was brought under Nazi control
- Nazi officers in all army ranks
- The non-Nazi commander and war minister were removed in scandals at least made by Nazis
- compulsory draft to built up german military
SS/ Gestapo- Hitler’s secret police, aka the Gestapo. Authority to investigate, treason, & sabotage cases. Corrupt police force. Law passed that allowed the SS to operate without judicial oversight.
Herman Goring- interior prime minister of Prussia. In high command in german police force. Fill ranks with Nazis. Formed the gestapo
Heinrich Himmler- head of Hitler’s secret police, the SS, power transferred to him from Herman Goring
- use terror/fear/force to get what the party wanted from people/ crush resistance from people
Significance
-fail in long term, bring disaster to germany
- short term plans of success(brought jobs, stopped making war reparation payments)
- Hitler neglect long term plans successful years would only remain during his reign
- German engineering infrastructure formed(railroads & successful companies such as Volkswagen)
- other successes: construction of autobahns, Volkswagen, scientific advances such as synthetics, and rocketry
• Drove to exile Germans who could have contributed greatly for Germany (ie: Einstein)
• There was strict censorship of art, literature and academic life; which all did not flourish under the Nazis
• Women’s rights suffered
- Build of power & greed lead to Hitler’s demise
- his ideas collapses eventually but ideas and infrastructure of communism in russia stays alive
Italy:
- Kings rise in society after WWI
- Mussolini is marching on because they want to be head of Italy
- King tells Mussolini he didn't want to stand up to him
- March of Italy: Mussolini promises the pope that he would separate Vatican city from italy. So the Pope & God is on Mussolini’s side
-king doesn’t want to fight against God
- Market Economy
- Fascists gained power and had nationalistic goals
- Mussolini held all the power
5 Major differences:
1. Hitler used brutality & force to get what he wanted in Germany but Mussolini just got what he wanted.
2. After WWI, Italy was unhappy because they wanted to get more land from the Versailles Treaty & Germany was upset because they had severe war reparations to pay.
3. Hitler’s first attempt of taking over the government failed during the Beer Hall Putsch
4. Hitler had Nazis in the Reichstag that elected him as president. After President Hindenburg died, Hitler came in power, out of luck.
5. Italy has a free market economy, Germany has totalitarianism

Lenin’s Death and Aftermath
Task 1
1. Lenin played a large role of the Communist Rise in Russia because he was a great leader, he was able to gather people and rise against other powers. He implemented the secret police and gathered people who believed Marxist ideas. He also gave peasants more control over land and goods. Lenin was very popular amongst the people.
2. After Lenin's death there was no one suitable for become his successor and people had no respect for those that took place in power after Lenin. Communism was lead to its downfall without a successor. Also after Lenin's death people began to question the beliefs of Marxism.
3. Lenin and Robespierre both started revolutions. However, Robespierre's presence in the French Revolution continued even after his death, and although Lenin's ideas were still practiced after his death, they soon forgotten. The two strongly believed in equality. They both destroyed everything that stood between them and their success and because of this eventually their ideas led to two major revolutions.
4. I think in this case Lenin was the best person to lead the revolution. He was a popular leader. Even though Trotsky and Stalin may have been good leaders, they probably were not as well fit for the job.
Task Two
1. Lenin feared of the split between classes. To become a successful leader, the people needed to be united, not divided.
2. Although Lenin believed Trotsky was a great leader, he is worried that Trotsky and his self centered ideas may get in the way of him being a great leader. I believe that all of these men will serve as great leaders.
3. Similar to Trotsky, Lenin though that Stalin would have been a good leader, but was worried that he would have used his power for corruption. But in any case I believe that Lenin trusted both Trotsky and Stalin with powers, even though I think he believed that eventually, these two men would be fighting for the power.
4. I think that Lenin believed that Trotsky would be the most excellent candidate. He speaks very positively of Trotsky. Furthermore, Trotsky is described by Lenin as "proved is distinguished no only by outstanding ability.

WWI Propaganda Poster
This WWI propaganda poster targets the people that hold jobs at plants. While promoting the idea of nationalism it also attempts to make the workers feel guilty. To honor their country by working at the plants but through NOT working, they are letting the country and the people down.

Wilson's Fourteen Points
Cartoon Interpretation
1. The editorial cartoon reveals the US during WWI. This picture portrays the European powers trying to recruit the U.S to join their cause in the war, they all want the United State’s support. However, the U.S has its hands tied behinds its back, and there is nothing the other countries can do. The man in the middle of the poster symbolizes Uncle Sam, he represents the U.S.
Wilson's 14 Points
2.
1) Wilson implies that world peace is the key to preventing conflicts, and through this, the public would get along and resolve disagreements peacefully.
2) This would help because it is stated that there is freedom to travel over seas, despite the fact that a war is going on or not. This would bring happiness to the public because they can journey to other areas through crossing the seas.
3) The elimination of economic barriers so trade an occur more effectively between different countries. Because of this, peaceful bonds would be brought to thedifferent nations as it would bring them closer together.
4) It is conveyed that the national military will be lessened to the smallest amount possible, whilst still maintaining domestic safety, in order to protect the country. Through this, other countres will not be afraid of one another because of a large military again.
5) Point 5 states that when decisions are not biased, the happiness of the public will be greater and there will be peace. However, this is rarely possible, because it is of human nature to pick a certain side in situations and to judge others.
6)If people were taken out of Russia, many parts of the world would be quickly overpopulated. However, by cleaning the land that was once used in trench warfare, that land could be put to use and would not be put to waste anymore.
.
7) Belgium will first be evacuated and then be placed back together. This would help restore faith between nations as they have set laws that decide the government of the bonds with each other. The internation law will have a great flaw if this problem is not seen to.
8) The treaty should be followed through because only through this treaty will peace be spread across the nation. As soon as peace is restored, the nation will be able to perform more efficiently and in prosperity.
9) The territorial lines of Italy should be changed so that it will be fair to surrounding countries. In doing so, this will make Italy’s neighboring countries happy and will strengthen the nation’s bonds with one another.
10) The Austria- Hungarian people are not a danger to the world, and therefore this nation should be allowed free in so that they are able to live their lives independently. They should not be having the interference of other nations, and through this, war will be abstained.
11) Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro must be freed and Serbia should receive free access to the sea. This should help resolve the conflicts that these countries have with one another and peace will be restored.
12) Areas belonging to Turkey in the Ottoman Empire should receive a good soverighnty and be treated equally. Furthermore, all blockades must be eliminate so that free passage ways to so that they will be able to be accessed in and out of the provinces.
13) Polish territory is made a free state under international law to keep the peace. Poland must be given political, economical, and territorial freedom.
14) Something along the lines of a United Nations should be formed, so that different nations around the world will be able to meet and talk about world problems that are occurring. So that everything may stay at peace. Something like it is still in effect today.
14. In conclusion, all these points should keep all the nations in peace. This permit conflicts to be told to one another, so that these nations can resolve them peacefully, instead of determining the outcome through war. These points should be used to prevent war.

Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand
1. In the text, it states that a bomb was used in order to kill the archduke but in the movie, a single assassin kills the archduke and his wife with a gun.
2. In the reading, news of the plot to murder the archduke spread to the Austrian government, but however, it reached Dr. von Bilinski, a man who did not happened to like the archduke. In the video, information regarding the plot was held a secret until the day that the murder happened.
3. In the document, it is stated that Princip celebrating the presumed success with a cup of coffee. This differs to the video's story because in the video, it is revealed that Princip was buying a sandwich after learning about the failure to the murder.
4. In the reading, Count Harnack, an aide jumped in front of the archduke while he was in the car to protect him. Archduke Francis Ferdinand is not grateful for that and yells “Don’t make a fool of yourself.” In the video on the other hand, the archduke is appreciative for the Count Harnack’s actions although it does not even save him from death.
5. In the reading, it is portrayed that Princip wanted to kill both General Potiorek and the archduke; he states that Sophie was collateral damage. This situation differs from that of the video’s, because in the video, Princip pursues the Archduke and his wife Sophie.
This picture displays an artist's interpretation of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination. This image reveals how the guards of the archduke do not even attempt to save him, they merely just stand there, such as how the guard in the lower left hand corner is acting.
