I'm not sure if the emphasis is to be put on the fact that the <em>Pope</em> declared or that the event occurred. I'll answer both.

It was significant that the Pope declared it because he was pretty much the only person who had the ability to declare such a thing. Even though the kingdoms of Europe had different rulers, most kingdoms were based on the Catholic religion. Therefore, the Pope had influence. If he declared something, it was as good as God declaring it.

It was significant that a Holy Roman Emperor was declared because it was the first step -- of many -- to achieving German unification. Before Charlemagne, Germany was nothing more than the Germanic tribes. The Holy Roman Empire, which lasted until 1806, kept these kingdoms united.

What was the impact of the Holocaust in history and What sort of lesson does the Holocaust have today?

Tatiana [17]

The holocaust was a moment is history that we often look back on to how devastating it was and learn now not to do it again. Germany was suddenly taken over by the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and he was a man or perfection. Everything had to be his way. he wanted to create the perfect race and by that he took mainly jews but, he also took people with disabilities and people who didn’t fit his standards to concentration camps where they were held in confinement, starved, beaten and most likely killed. Over 6 million people were killed and the reason we know that this was so major is because it started a war. A world war to be exact. People tried to get people out of concentration camps and help hide the ones in danger. We know now that this was a horrible set of events that took place and we hope to never see it again.
