There were many arguments that needed to be taken into account before deciding whether it was a good idea to establish an American Empire.

Among the pros, we find the fact that an American Empire would most likely mean increased natural resources to support industrial pursuits. Moreover, it would also mean a larger size and reach for the country, which would facilitate trade. Finally, an empire would bring prestige to the country.

In terms of the cons, we would have to consider the fact that a larger population would require more services and would have more needs to fulfill. Moreover, establishing an empire might make Americans appear too ambitious and dismissive of local people.

Nazi leaders used kristallnacht to their advantage by

Katena32 [7]

Nazi leaders used Kristallnacht to their advantage by blaming the Jews for the violence that had occurred, and beginning a campaign of putting Jews into concentration camps.

Context/details:

In November, 1938, there was rampant destruction of Jewish-owned businesses and synagogues and violence against Jewish people. This occurred on the night of November 9 going on into November 10, 1938, and was called "Kristallnacht," or "The Night of Broken Glass." It was public violence by masses of people, not a specific campaign ordered by the Nazi regime. However, Nazi officials did tell police and firefighters to do nothing -- to let the violence and destruction occur. The next day, Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda, said that this sort of eruption against the Jews was natural and understandable. He said: "It is an intolerable state of affairs that within our borders and for all these years hundreds of thousands of Jews still control whole streets of shops, populate our recreation spots and, as foreign apartment owners, pocket the money of German tenants, while their racial comrades abroad agitate for war against Germany."

In the days after Kristallnacht, the Nazi government said that the Jewish community itself was responsible for all the damage and destruction, and imposed enormous fines against the Jewish community. They also arrested more than 30,000 Jewish men and sent them to concentration camps which were built to incarcerate Jews and any others that the Nazis perceived to be enemies of the German state.
