The Catholic Church strongly opposed the spreading of the heliocentric theory because it meant that the holy book of Christianity, the Bible, was wrong, and that what they were propagating for centuries that the Earth was the center of the universe and that everything circles around our planet was a lie. This was going to make a big damage on the credibility of the church and the skepticism towards it would have grown more and more. The church, considering it had the power, was using all measures possible to stop this, so lots of scientists found themselves imprisoned, hanged, burned alive, killed brutally...

How did Hitler’s rule in Nazi Germany exemplify totalitarian rule?
solong [7]

Answer:

Nazi Germany and the totalitarian rule

Explanation:

Totalitarian regimes can be seen as the complete opposite of democracy and are characterized by repression, control over public and private life and use of terrorism. No freedom of speech or action was allowed and the nazis created a state where opposition was punished with violence by spreading fear and terror among the population. In the first place, Hitler created organizations like the SS which maintained the nazi rule. Together with Goebbles, the minister of propaganda, he exerted control over the news and media and manipulated the mass. Along with it, he won the support of his people by using propaganda which facilitated and promoted genocide. Films also played a leading role in disseminating antisemitism and asserting the superiority of the arians. Following the assassination of the German diplomat, a clear example of the Nazi violence was the so called "night of broken glass" when 7000 Jewish businnesses were destroyed and synagogues were smashed. However, this was only one of the many episodes of the Nazi violence which culminated in the creation of the concentration camps.

Compare and Contrast Discuss President George H.W. Bush’s foreign policy by comparing and contrasting his decisions regarding th
Zanzabum
President George H.W. Bush is a very conservative and pragmatic leader. He showed these traits in dealing with foreign affairs. Before acting on a situation, he studies the policies first. An example of his conservatism and pragmatism involved China.

When the Chinese government gunned down their people who conducted a peaceful protest, the US government didn't react as harshly as its people wanted. They imposed limited sanctions. This is because President Bush knows that they still have to deal with China in the future. He did not burn down the bridge on this foreign relation.
