Brief answer:  Persecution of Jews under the Nuremberg Laws, as well as attacks on Jews and imprisoning Jews in concentration camps.

<u>Longer explanation:</u>

Hitler and the Nazis believed in the supremacy of what they referred to as the "Aryan race" -- which was a term they used for the Germanic peoples.  They believed their race was superior to "lesser races" like the Jews, blacks and others.  Hitler and the Nazis mounted a campaign in Germany to promote their race over others like Jews and Roma (gypsies), etc.  

They enacted what are called the Nuremberg Laws, which were passed at a Nazi rally in Nuremberg in 1935.  These laws denied citizenship and other rights to Jewish persons.  

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 "Kristallnacht," or "The Night of Broken Glass."  Nazi officials told police and firefighters to do nothing -- to let the violence and destruction occur.  In the days after Kristallnacht, 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.

In their campaign for a "master race" as well as in support of their World War effort, the Nazis used Jews for forced labor in concentration camps.  They also used Jewish persons and others they deemed undesirable essentially as laboratory rats for doing unethical medical experiments on them. For example, they'd put persons in a pressure chamber to find out how high an altitude they could let their pilots fly before they'd become unconscious from the altitude and pressure.  Others of their experiments were even more gruesome.  

Ultimately, there was what the Nazis called "The Final Solution" (in the 1940s), which we now refer to as the Holocaust.  Millions of Jews, along with other unwanteds, were exterminated in mass killings.

Ierofanga [76]
<span>The Hagia Sophia demonstrated the blending of the Byzantine Empire with the old Roman Empire through its architecture. More specifically, the bell-shaped roof at the top of the church was a nod to Roman architecture. Additionally, the many columns and arches built in the church are also typical of Roman architecture, displaying another mix between the two. </span>

Diocletian Both Items to place in the chart: Increased the size of civil service Increased the size of the army Set wage and pri
Lelu [443]

From 284 to 305, Diocletian ruled as the Roman emperor. He oversaw significant improvements in the empire throughout his rule.

By dividing and enlarging the civil and military services as well as the provincial divisions, Diocletian established the largest and most bureaucratic government in the history of the empire. Diocletian appointed the consuls, stopped the senators from collaborating to draft laws, divided the imperial counselors among specialized offices, defined their roles to limit the power of the praetorian prefects (the emperor's personal bodyguards), specialized administrative work, and increased the number of bureaucrats. Additionally, the earlier command was provided and the army was reorganized. He released soldiers from active duty after 20 years of service, and the military benefited most when he put a price cap on items to cut the cost of living. Two new taxes, the jugum, and the capitatio, were enacted. The former was a tax on a parcel of arable land, whilst the latter was a charge on individuals. This adjustment was accompanied by a monetary reform. In 303–304, Diocletian issued the four edicts while vowing to refrain from any atrocities.

Diocletian reformed the empire without resorting to political idealism. His reforms weren't the outcome of a preconceived plan; rather, they were enacted as a result of historical necessity.
