During the 19th century, race moved from religious-based to scientific based. This era resulted in scientists trying to prove that some races are genetically superior to others.

This type of racism called on scientists to take data (like facial features, distance between body parts, shape of head) in order to analyze it. At one point, it was argued that blacks had similar head shapes to that of chimpanzees and monkeys to prove their inferiority.

However, it is widely known now as a science based on false data, exaggerations, and lies in general.

PV = FV/(1+r)n

Present Value = PV = 6000/(1+12%)8 = 6000/1.128 = 2423.299368

Why did France fall so easily to the Nazis?

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

in France there was a very strong support of extreme right (this terms is quite broad and does not include so-called nazism) already before the Great War. After 1870 French extreme right became quite powerful and had a stimulating support of intellectuals (Barres, Maurras) who were able to stimulate new generations ...a big part of intellectual elite invited Mussolini´s coup and in 30s there was a hayday of French right. When Hitler came in poweŕ, he had a strong support among French. But French extreme-right was frequently more conservative than modern (nazism).

Explanation:

Jacques Doriot (leader and founder of PPF), writer Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, Robert Brasillach or Céline had many motives to support nazism. They believed in something that could be called "revolution of the body and instinct", the criticized democracy of the IIIrd republic because of its liberalism and intellectualism. They wanted strong leader and politics of body and instinct. But they were never united. In the government there was a division between "marchalistes" (followers of Pétain) and "lavalistes" (folloowers of pro-nazi laval).

What do you think is the allure ( draw /appeal ) of the western

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The United States desired the West because the West coast would open up the United States to Asian markets. Eastern ports connected the U.S with Europe. The West meant we could expand our trading power globally.

The population was rapidly growing in the East, Americans were running out of room, they had to move West.

Economic hardships (panics and depressions) in the East pushed Americans to the West.

The West had abundant, inexpensive, and often free, land. This not only attracted eastern Americans, but poor, landless Europeans as well.

The British had their eyes on the West as well. Prior to the Annexation of Texas, Britain had established a friendly relationship with the Republic of Texas. They were interested in trading with Texas and keeping the U.S from expanding West. In order to limit British influence in America, the United States decided to Annex Texas in 1845.
