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.

How was japan before ww2 started?
leonid [27]

Answer:

U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry opened American trade relations with Japan in 1854. President Theodore Roosevelt brokered a 1905 peace treaty in the Russo-Japanese War that was favorable to Japan. The two signed a Commerce and Navigation Treaty in 1911. Japan had also sided with the U.S., Great Britain, and France during World War I.

During that time, Japan also embarked on forming an empire modeled after the British Empire. Japan made no secret that it wanted economic control of the Asia-Pacific region.

By 1931, however, U.S.-Japanese relations had soured. Japan's civilian government, unable to cope with the strains of the global Great Depression, had given way to a militarist government. The new regime was prepared to strengthen Japan by forcibly annexing areas in the Asia-Pacific. It started with China.
