Decline of Sumer:
Poor irrigation reduced agricultural yields.
Population moved.
Elamite invasion.
First Wave Movement (1848-1920) focused on getting the right to vote. The movement began with the Declaration of Sentiments essentially comparing the plight of women to that of men before the Revolution. The wave ended with women gaining the right to vote through the 19th Amendment.
Second War Movement (1960-1980) focused on ending discrimination against women in education and careers. They fought for the right to divorce, birth control, and full independent ownership of their property even with marriage. They also pushed for an Equal Rights Amendment which failed in 1982 but they were able to accomplish rights through the Civil Rights Act.
For one, the Allies had an EXTREMELY massive amount of production, which the German's desperately lacked around the end of Operation Barbarossa in the East.
Also, relating to production, the German's air force (The Luftwaffe) and Naval forces were essentially non-existent by the time the Americans landed in Sicily, but the Allies had a surplus of air assets (specifically bombers and Airborne infantry) which solidified an Allied victory in Europe.
Old immigrants were protestant while the new immigrants were Catholic , Orthodox or Jewish.
Absolute chaos is what we would define as anarchy; it is essentially the reverse of order. What makes an anarchy worse would be the shocking lack of a robust legal system because there can be no laws in a society built on complete chaos, but if you're talking about a government based on anarchy, it would be a system where there is no state identity and no real central government. Somalia, to some extent, serves as the most prevalent illustration of why a government founded on anarchy is a horrible concept. Although there is a central government, its power over its territory varies. Certain sections are under the influence of the militant group Al Shabab, and the Somaliland region is attempting to declare its independence from the federal government. The country is rife with a milder but no less deadly type of anarchy due to the absence of a strong central leadership.
Anarchic societies where every individual is equally empowered are unsustainable. The individuals quickly cluster into tribal units, and without some overriding authority, it’s impossible to stop that from happening. The tribal units (or gangs, if you prefer) are run by warlords who keep each other in check until one of them gains a decisive advantage over the others, and then you’ve got the beginnings of a state.
This drama has played out countless times in the course of human history, and is still playing out in the criminal underworld to the extent that it can. That extent is limited by the fact that now there is an overriding authority with enforceable power, the legitimate state.
