Babylonian Law Hammurabi code

History
1 answer:
Sati [7]3 years ago
3 0

The Code of Hamurabi was a set of laws created in Mesopotamia, around the XVIII century BC, by King Hamurabi of the first Babylonian dynasty. The code was based on the Lex Talionis, which stated "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”. Although it may seem a little barbaric for nowadays standards, the code was actually very sophisticated at that time, and provided a set of measures regarding property, family, work and human life. The code prescribed that for each act of law infraction, there must be a proportional punishment.

Although there was no equality before the law, considering that the Babylon empire was a society based on hierarchic principles, the purpose of this code was to homogenize the kingdom legally and ensure a common culture, therefore, holding the key to a civilized human organization, where human disputes could be settled by a law in common.

What did Hitler bring to the German people?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

When Hitler first came into power in 1933, he would fulfill his promises from all his campaigning to the German peoples.

-Started Civil Projects such as the creation of the Autobahn

-Established a free healthcare system

-Established Social Security

-Motivated industries such as BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Coca-Cola (Germany), etc.

These projects made Hitler even more popular and also lifted Germany out of the Great Depression that struck in 1929. Later on, his actions would be to militarize Germany and start expanding.

-Militarizing the Industrial heart of Germany that had been occupied by French forces. (Rhineland) 1936

-The Anschluss of Austria in 1938

-Annexation of Memel in 1939

-Annexation of the Sudetenland in 1939 than the rest of Czechoslovakia.

These aggressive actions were justified by "bringing ethnic Germans living in those nations back to Germany." At the end of World War 2, Hitler had imposed a massive conscription. Which allowed for 12-17 year old boys to fight for Germany and the older population as well that were not fit for any combat.
