Using what you have learned, write one to two paragraphs comparing and contrasting the rise of the nation-state in Germany and J
melomori [17]

As is regularly acknowledged, the German Reich and Imperial Japan were partners in WW2. Perhaps of course, these two nations had set out on comparable aspirations at the eve of WW2, and their most essential objectives were to drastically grow their range of authority, expand national fringes by acquiring belonging from different nations and to grasp critical assets (oil, key metal minerals, and land zones). The two nations built up a savage nationalistic and racial code of authority. It pursued that their foes were named as of mediocre quality, and in wartime moves, this normally conveyed with it scorn and cruel treatment of adversaries. The Geneva code of fighting was principally disregarded by the two nations. The characterizing component of remorselessness was on account of Nazi Germany, a massive groundbreaking strategy for the destruction of the Jews. Which was additionally actualized on a gram scale. This seems to have no genuine association with the German war exertion. Likewise, moves made by Imperial Japan against the Chinese, bears a similar characteristic of mercilessness, if not in level or arranged execution (or intentions) likewise with the German mistreatment of the Jews. In any case, mercilessness on a relatively extraordinary scale was utilized against what was viewed as the racially second rate, detainees of war and possessed countries.  

Certain hypotheses have been made about the yearnings by Nazi Germany to accomplish worldwide authority. A few signs to this impact seem to exist: a task to fabricate a nuclear bomb, a super-sized aircraft, and a substantial submarine was in arranging. Japan may have been more inspired by provincial extension, and accomplishing a heavier job in the Pacific, than real world predominance. Anyway, despite the fact that they had no plans for an atomic limit, the Japanese likewise grown huge weapons like war vessels and plane carrying warships. At last, unique behemoth weaponry came to be definitive for neither the Germans nor the Japanese, in time before the war was finished. An extremist style military principle was set up in the two nations. Germany was directed to vanquish by Adolf Hitler ( who was a Corporal) and Japan by Admiral Tojo. The populace was in the two nations pressured into battling a harsh battle as far as possible, against overpowering chances. As the Nazi despot submitted suicide, the country accepted the open door for ceding. The Japanese be that as it may, declined to surrender in spite of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, and the capitulation was eventually accomplished simply after Nagasaki was devastated in a similar way. The huge contrast here was that Tojo was overruled by the Emperor, who at last finished the war.

Why was galen wrong in many of his statements about the human body even though he was a careful observer?
alina1380 [7]

It is because Galen based his information about anatomy on what he had found out during dissecting the bodies of animals. This created mistakes on his claims in human anatomy. Some of these anatomical errors were the following:

1.       He thought muscles are attached to the bone just like in dogs.

2.       He thought that the liver produces blood. He then realized that it flowed around the body, but he claimed that is burned fuel for the muscle.

3.       He thought that there are holes through the septum, which allowed the blood to flow from one side to another of the heart.

4.       He thought that there are blood vessels in the brain.

5.       He thought human’s jaw was made up of two bones just like a dog’s.

6.       He made mistakes about the liver’s shape.
