There are some bridges that are called "The Bridge to Nowhere". However, the one we're talking about is a highway bridge near Castrop-Rauxel in Germany. Even though the bridge was built over the highway, it's not connected to anything.

It has become a symbol of Pork Barrel spending, which is a metaphor to talk about governments having projects with the sole purpose of bringing money to a district.

In simple words, it became a symbol of poor usage of public money, and disrespect with the population who provided the money in the first place.

Why did hitler begin a campaign against the Jews ? How did it become the final solution?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Anti-Semitism, sometimes called history’s oldest hatred, is hostility or prejudice against Jewish people. The Nazi Holocaust is history’s most extreme example of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism did not begin with Adolf Hitler: Anti-Semitic attitudes date back to ancient times. In much of Europe throughout the Middle Ages, Jewish people were denied citizenship and forced to live in ghettos. Anti-Jewish riots called pogroms swept the Russian Empire during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and anti-Semitic incidents have increased in parts of Europe, the Middle East and North America in the last several years.

The term anti-Semitism was first popularized by German journalist Wilhelm Marr in 1879 to describe hatred or hostility toward Jews. The history of anti-Semitism, however, goes back much further.

Hostility against Jews may date back nearly as far as Jewish history. In the ancient empires of Babylonia, Greece, and Rome, Jews—who originated in the ancient kingdom of Judea—were often criticized and persecuted for their efforts to remain a separate cultural group rather than taking on the religious and social customs of their conquerors.

With the rise of Christianity, anti-Semitism spread throughout much of Europe. Early Christians vilified Judaism in a bid to gain more converts. They accused Jews of outlandish acts such as “blood libel”—the kidnapping and murder of Christian children to use their blood to make Passover bread.

Was there a particular moment between 1763 and 1783 when colonists became “americans” instead of “Englishmen” or was it a proces
kvv77 [185]

Between the years of 1763 and 1783 the people living in the American colonies started to became ''Americans'' instead of ''Englishman''. The reason for that were the economic actions taken by the British Parliament. The British were financially exhausted and in lot of debt because of the wars with France and Spain. In order to cover their debts, they implemented the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act, which were basically meaning that the colonies needed to pay higher taxes for exports and imports, and they were also limited from where they can import things because of the taxes. That started to create a lot of tensions because the people were losing lot of profit. Little by little the tensions started to turn into revolts, and eventually into a revolution, and a war for independence, as the colonists no more wanted to be part of the English Crown but instead started to declare themselves as separate entities, as Americans.
