History
1 answer:
emmainna [20.7K]3 years ago
4 0
It was usually performed by certain high ranking Japanese Officials and when they suffered a Major blunder in the war, or something that was considered MAJORLY unhonorable, and that's the key here, honor. Honor was HUGE in Japan, your family would consider you worthless if you didn't have honor, so doing something like losing a battle and surrendering were considered cowardly, so to maintain their honor and avoid capture they would commit Seppuku

What was hitlers final solution to the Jewish problem? Creating a Jewish master race Deporting jews to the United States Isolati
eimsori [14]

Correct answer:  Exterminating all European Jews

Context/detail:

The Holocaust was the mass extermination of Jews and other unwanteds in Germany during World War II.  The Nazi Party under Adolph Hitler was in charge in Germany at the time.  This was a fascist and nationalistic form of government.

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.  They rounded up Jews and put them in concentration camps (which later became extermination camps).  In support of their World War effort, they used Jews for forced labor in the 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).  Millions of Jews, along with other unwanteds, were exterminated in mass killings.  The Nazis used poison gas and other means of killing in their extermination camps.

Where did the term manifest destiny start to appear?
Gelneren [198K]
Manifest Destiny summary: In the 19th century US, Manifest Destiny was a belief that was widely held that the destiny of American settlers was to expand and move across the continent to spread their traditions and their institutions, while at the same time enlightening more primitive nations. And the American settlers of the time considered Indians and Hispanics to be inferior and therefore deserving of cultivation. The settlers considered the United States to be the best possible way to organize a country so they felt the need to remake the world in the image of their own country.
