The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Muslims doctors were well-prepared medicine men that implemented many good things to help Muslims of the time. For instance, they developed good diagnosis systems to better identify diseases and prevent them. These doctors were part of the many scientific discoveries during the 7th century in the Muslim world. Let's remember the influence Islam had on many territories of that time. After the death of the prophet Mohammed in 632, Islam spread from the Arabian peninsula to other territories such as Asia, North Africa, the Middle East and the Iberian peninsula in Europe. Medical Muslim advancements were introduced in those places as part of the expansion of Islam.

While Westerners credit William Harvey for discovering blood circulation in 1616, pulmonary circulation had already been described by the Arabic doctor Ibn

Al-Nafis 300 years before. While his knowledge was incomplete, Al-Nafis knew that the heart had two halves and that blood passed through the lungs when traveling from one side of the heart to the other. He also realized that the heart is nourished by capillaries.

Besides his description of the circulatory system and the heart, Al-Nafis advocated dissection as a means of truly learning anatomy and physiology, although he also writes that he didn’t perform dissections because of his strict Muslim beliefs. He described his observations on the brain, nervous system, bone structure and gall bladder and more in his great medical encyclopaedia Al-Shamil. Unfortunately, not many of Al-Nafis’ writings were translated into Latin, leaving Christian doctors befuddled regarding basic anatomy until much later.

Islamic medicine recognized that some diseases were infectious, including leprosy, smallpox and sexually transmitted diseases. To these, the great Islamic doctor Avicenna added tuberculosis and described how contagious diseases spread and necessary methods of quarantine.

The 10th century Arabic doctor Al Zahrawi established the basis of surgery in Al-Andalus in Cordoba, where he worked as a doctor for the Caliph Al-Hakam II. He wrote a great medical treatise, the Kitab al-Tasrif, a 30-volume book of medicine and surgery. Al Zahrawi invented over 200 surgical instruments, many of which are still used today, including forceps, scalpel, surgical needle and retractor, specula and catgut sutures.  Sorry if this is to much to read

What events took place before the holocaust?
sveta [45]

Brief answer:  Persecution of Jews under the Nuremberg Laws, as well as attacks on Jews and imprisoning Jews in concentration camps.

<u>Longer explanation:</u>

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.  

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."  Nazi officials told police and firefighters to do nothing -- to let the violence and destruction occur.  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.

In their campaign for a "master race" as well as in support of their World War effort, the Nazis 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.

Why did the Germans need to defeat France as quickly as<br> possible in 19142
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The German nightmare was a war on two fronts. Historically, Russia needed time to ‘mobilize’, that is, to call up reservists, equip them, and assign them to their regiments and platoons. So the logical way of operating was to attack and defeat the French first, before attacking the Russians. But in 1914 the Russians cheated; they mobilised before they announced it so their army was in the field quite a long time before the Germans expected it — and the dreaded war on two fronts materialised. The Germans were lucky in that their effective commander Ludendorff (who was technically 2ic) moved his troops about by train, so they were not already exhausted by a long and hurried march and were able to throw the Russians back into complete confusion and surrender.

So the Russians were defeated but not mortally injured, the French came close to defeat but just managed to stabilise a front, and the ‘despicable English Army’ saved itself from disaster by the narrowest Of margins.

Four years of continuous bloody slaughter were assured.
