Lyndon Johnson and his push for civil rights for African Americans.
Johnson continued the push for civil rights that had been started by President John F. Kennedy. In the emotional days after JFK's assassination, President Johnson said in an address to Congress: "<span>No memorial oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor President Kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of the civil rights bill for which he fought so long." The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed within months after the Kennedy assassination. The act outlawed discrimination in public places and in employment practices, and provided for integration of public schools.
Incidentally, in defense of Gerald Ford and his fight against high unemployment -- by the end of Ford's term in office, the unemployment rate had begun to improve. But it was too little, too late, and his reelection bid failed. (Voters also were reacting against the Republican administration due to the Nixon Watergate scandal.)</span>
Answer:
The Reichstag Fire was a dramatic arson attack occurring on February 27, 1933, which burned the building that housed the Reichstag (German parliament) in Berlin. Claiming the fire was part of a Communist attempt to overthrow the government, the newly named Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler used the fire as an excuse to seize absolute power in Germany, paving the way for the rise of his Nazi regime.
HITLER’S RISE
By the late 1920s, Adolf Hitler and his Nationalist Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party were gaining strength due to growing popular dissatisfaction with the ruling Weimar Republic.
Germany’s economic woes in the early 1930s threw the government into further chaos, with President Paul von Hindenburg forced to replace several chancellors within a short time period. In late January 1933, hoping to make an alliance with the Nazis against more left-wing opponents, Hindenburg reluctantly asked Hitler to serve as chancellor.
With elections set for early March, the Nazis set about suppressing their political opposition. On February 4, Hitler’s cabinet issued the temporary Decree for the Protection of the German People, which restricted the German press and authorized the police to ban political meetings and marches.
