After World War 2, Germany was divided among France, Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union. An actual wall was built

Shortly after midnight on this day in 1961, East German soldiers begin laying down barbed wire and bricks as a barrier between Soviet-controlled East Berlin and the democratic western section of the city.

After World War II, defeated Germany was divided into Soviet, American, British and French zones of occupation. The city of Berlin, though technically part of the Soviet zone, was also split, with the Soviets taking the eastern part of the city. After a massive Allied airlift in June 1948 foiled a Soviet attempt to blockade West Berlin, the eastern section was drawn even more tightly into the Soviet fold. Over the next 12 years, cut off from its western counterpart and basically reduced to a Soviet satellite, East Germany saw between 2.5 million and 3 million of its citizens head to West Germany in search of better opportunities. By 1961, some 1,000 East Germans–including many skilled laborers, professionals and intellectuals–were leaving every day.

In August, Walter Ulbricht, the Communist leader of East Germany, got the go-ahead from Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to begin the sealing off of all access between East and West Berlin. Soldiers began the work over the night of August 12-13, laying more than 100 miles of barbed wire slightly inside the East Berlin border. The wire was soon replaced by a six-foot-high, 96-mile-long wall of concrete blocks, complete with guard towers, machine gun posts and searchlights. East German officers known as Volkspolizei (“Volpos”) patrolled the Berlin Wall day and night.

Many Berlin residents on that first morning found themselves suddenly cut off from friends or family members in the other half of the city. Led by their mayor, Willi Brandt, West Berliners demonstrated against the wall, as Brandt criticized Western democracies, particularly the United States, for failing to take a stand against it. President John F. Kennedy had earlier said publicly that the United States could only really help West Berliners and West Germans, and that any kind of action on behalf of East Germans would only result in failure.

Historically, the Roman civilization followed what political evolution?

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Kingdom, Republic, Empire

(The Period of Kings (625-510 BC), Republican Rome (510-31 BC), and Imperial Rome (31 BC – AD 476)).

<h2>How was the political structure of the Roman Republic/Empire?</h2>

Depending on whichever time you choose to observe, the system of the Roman Empire changes. A different group known as the Etruscans dominated the Romans at the beginning of their history. It was a monarchy throughout this time period.

However, the romans conquered the etruscans in 509 B.C., and as a result, they abhorred anything connected to their foreign overlords. As a result, they established a republic that had some degree of democracy. It was run by a senate made up of Rome's 200 richest families, and the only time a dictatorship was supported was in the event of a serious emergency like war or widespread hunger. Then the senate would choose a dictator who would be given six months to reign before stepping down. These two individuals, who were chosen to serve as the republic's consuls for a year, held the potential to seize brief dictatorship. It lasted for centuries and was known as The Roman Republic.

Nevertheless, it started to deteriorate in 49 B.C. when Julius Ceaser declared himself to be a lifelong ruler. However, in 44 B.C., senators assassinated him. Following it, it first appeared as though The Roman Republic had been rescued.

But that wasn't the case. Octavius (Augustus), Julius Ceaser's adoptive son, was chosen to serve as a republican consul. Later, the Roman Republic was replaced by the Roman Empire in 31 B.C. after Octavius triumphed in a civil war. A monarchy was founded in this system, and the first Emperor was Octavius, who was given the honorific name Augustus in 27 B.C. It remained an empire and a monarchy after that.

One last point to be made about the system is that the church gained more sway in politics when Constantine the Great made Christianity the official religion of Rome.

Therefore, in conclusion to this, Rome mainly had two political systems throughout their time in existence, The Roman Republic and The Roman Empire.

Casualties at the Battle of Okinawa and Iwo Jima

Agata [3.3K]

Casualty rates at the Battle of Okinawa and Iwo Jima plays a small role in the justification of dropping the atomic bomb, and is by no means the only justification or even the major justification in using the atomic bomb. They were, after all, only used as a statistical report through the casualty per sq. mile report of what can occur when invading the mainland. So yes, it may be a means towards the justification, but as the justification itself it is not.
