under the Articles of Confederation wasthe national government had no national military.
Answer: No, Napoleon should not have kept news of his defeats out of the newspapers and media heres why. History has proven time and time again that withholding information from the people leads to mistrust with government. The people will evbentually find out, and question why the goverment withheld information. Having a transparent government and letting the people of the nation know when they have been defeated leads the people to trust the government.
By the numbers, the WWII was indeed the most deadly war in history as it killed an estimate of 60 to 75 million people. It was the first war that really took multi-continental proportions and affected every country and group of people in the world. It involved around 100 million people and it was marked by mass killings of civilians, like the Holocaust, and atomic bombings. The Soviet Union was the country that suffered the most casualities, civilian and military, losing roughly 15% of its population.
Adolf Hitler was the Nazi dictator of Germany during World War II.
When Hitler became in control of Germany, he began to release everybody in prison, and had people arrested for disrespecting the Nazi Party and the government. Once the Allies had beaten the Germany army in 1945, Hitler committed suicide the same year. He was responsible for over 11 million deaths due to the Holocaust, where he forced Jews, handicapped, and other races to go to suffer and die.
Adolph Hitler rose to power in Germany in 1933, and he began to establish the Nazi regime soon after. Hitler and the Nazis believed in the supremacy of what they referred to as the "Aryan race" -- which was a term they used for the Germanic peoples. They believed their race was superior to "lesser races" like the Jews, blacks and others. Hitler and the Nazis mounted a campaign in Germany to promote their race over others like Jews and Roma (gypsies), etc.
They enacted what are called the Nuremberg Laws, which were passed at a Nazi rally in Nuremberg in 1935. These laws denied citizenship and other rights to Jewish persons. Examples of such laws:
- The Reich Citizenship Law ruled that only persons of proper ethnic blood were eligible to be German citizens.
- The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour prohibited marriages or any sexual intercourse between Jews and Germans. It even went so far as to say that Jewish persons could not employ female Germans in their household who were under the age of 45 (afraid of something happening and somebody becoming pregnant.)
The Nazi campaign against Jews got even worse from there. In their campaign for a "master race" as well as in support of their World War effort, they used Jews for forced labor in concentration camps. They also used Jewish persons and others they deemed undesirable essentially as laboratory rats for doing unethical medical experiments on them. For example, they'd put persons in a pressure chamber to find out how high an altitude they could let their pilots fly before they'd become unconscious from the altitude and pressure. Others of their experiments were even more gruesome.
Ultimately, there was what the Nazis called "The Final Solution" (in the 1940s), which we now refer to as the Holocaust. Millions of Jews, along with other unwanteds, were exterminated in mass killings.
