73 of the British were killed and 174 were wounded while 26 went missing.It was considered a huge military victory and showed King George III that his unjust behavior wouldn't be tolerated in America.
Nazi leaders used <em>Kristallnacht </em>to their advantage by blaming the Jews for the violence that had occurred, and beginning a campaign of putting Jews into concentration camps.
Context/details:
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 "<em>Kristallnacht,</em>" or "The Night of Broken Glass." It was public violence by masses of people, not a specific campaign ordered by the Nazi regime. However, Nazi officials did tell police and firefighters to do nothing -- to let the violence and destruction occur. The next day, Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda, said that this sort of eruption against the Jews was natural and understandable. He said: "It is an intolerable state of affairs that within our borders and for all these years hundreds of thousands of Jews still control whole streets of shops, populate our recreation spots and, as foreign apartment owners, pocket the money of German tenants, while their racial comrades abroad agitate for war against Germany."
In the days after <em>Kristallnacht, </em>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.
<u>Question 1:</u>
Henry Ford worked at a sawmill before moving to Detroit in 1891, where he was hired as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company. He was promoted to chief engineer only two years later. When not working at the company, Ford spent time working on a gasoline-powered horseless carriage (the automobile) in the shed behind his home. His "quadricycle" was completed in 1896.
Ford sold his prototype, and after receiving backing from several investors, he formed the Detroit Automobile Company (later the Henry Ford Company) in 1899. He left the company in 1902. The company became the Cadillac Motor Car Company and Ford established the new Ford Motor Company.
A month after this new company was established, the first Ford cars were assembled in Detroit. Model T made its debut in October 1908. As a result of the high demand, Ford put into practice techniques of mass production such as a moving assembly line and standarized parts. This allowed production to be faster and cars to be cheaper. It also allowed Ford to raise the wages of his workers.
<u>Question 2:</u>
Ford's production started in Detroit, and the success of the automobile industry caused an enormous population rise in the city. In 1927, Ford moved his production to a massive industrial complex built along the banks of the River Rouge in Dearborn, Michigan. To this day, the city of Detroit is strongly associated in people's minds with the automobile industry.
