(1) Originally from Japan, kudzu is a vining plant first planted in the United States in the nineteenth century by southern farm

ers looking for a fast-growing plant that cattle and other livestock could graze. Kudzu hay has a high nutritional content compared to other types of forage. Unfortunately, the
nutritional quality decreases as vine content increases relative to the leaf content. Unlike alfalfa hay, which grows like a grass, kudzu is hard to bale due to its vining growth and tendency to absorb rain.

(2) The climate of the Southeastern U.S. is perfect for growing kudzu. The vines grow as much as a foot a day during summer months, climbing trees, power poles, and anything else they contact. Under ideal conditions kudzu vines can grow 60 feet each year. Southerners joke that if you don’t close your windows at night, it’ll climb inside the house. In Japan, kudzu is kept in check by insects, but it has no natural enemies in the U.S.

(3) While they help prevent erosion, the vines can also destroy valuable forests by climbing trees and preventing them from getting sunlight. This problem has led researchers to find methods for killing kudzu. After years of research, they found that one herbicide actually makes kudzu grow better while many have little effect. Even with the most effective herbicides, it takes many years to kill the plants.

(4) Today, kudzu covers more than seven million acres of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina.

How did fascist regimes seize power in post-WWI Europe? Describe in your own words.
KIM [24]

Many fascist leaders such as Adolf Hitler seized power in Europe by taking advantage of the hurt that citizens felt after WWI, especially in Germany.

Hitler was a veteran of WWI, and was disgusted at how weak his country had become after the implementation of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was in ruins, and the people were suffering, so Hitler came in and offered the people a way to get back to their place of power.

Through popular political tactics, and intimidation by the street soldiers of the fascist parties who went out and burned buildings and terrorized citizens, fascists were voted into power, and then took over the government, establishing their regimes.
