John Hancock was serving as the President of the Continental Congress, during the Declaration of Independence, which was ratified on the fourth of July in 1776.

  • The Declaration of Independence bears John Hancock's famously huge signature, which he mockingly claimed the British could read without glasses.
  • On July 4, 1776, when the declaration was adopted, he was the president of Congress, and as such, he was the first congressman to sign the important document.
  • He was crucial in bringing about the American Revolution, sometimes unintentionally and other times on purpose.
  • He was an orphaned boy who was later adopted by a wealthy merchant uncle who was childless.
  • Hancock graduated from Harvard College at the age of 17 after enrolling there to study business.
  • He served as his uncle's clerk apprentice, and after demonstrating his honesty and competence, he was dispatched on a commercial expedition to England in 1760.

Thus, from the above it is clear that John Hancock was the president of the continental congress when the declaration of independence was ratified on July 4, 1776.

zysi [14]

During the World War II, the Germans were very powerful, having large, well trained, and well equipped army, but that army was not endless and was not able to control everything. That is where the collaborators came to help. The Germans had numerous collaborators, and they were the ones that were doing the things on the terrain where the German army was not able to be present. The collaborators were loyal to Hitler and they obeyed his orders and ambitions, and one of those was to eliminate some ethnic groups. The Germans managed to get lot of people from their primary target groups, Jews, Slavs, and Gypsies in their own territory, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and they were performing genocide over them. In order to get the people of those ethnic groups, in the other territories, the collaborators were doing the job, such as the Hungarians, Lithuanians, Bulgarians, Croatians managed to get hundreds of thousands of people and send them into the concentration camps where lot of them lost their lives.
