Churchill was a remarkable man who was an expert in the use of the English language. By clever use of words he was able to inspire the population, inspire and motivate them. The one that is probably most remembered is the one about fighting on the beaches: Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old. Others include I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this Government: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat." The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and indeed throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the World War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. All hearts go out to the fighter pilots, whose brilliant actions we see with our own eyes day after day, but we must never forget that all the time, night after night, month after month, our bomber squadrons travel far into Germany, find their targets in the darkness by the highest navigational skill, aim their attacks, often under the heaviest fire, often with serious loss, with deliberate, careful discrimination, and inflict shattering blows upon the whole of the technical and war-making structure of the Nazi power. On no part of the Royal Air Force does the weight of the war fall more heavily than on the daylight bombers who will play an invaluable part in the case of invasion and whose unflinching zeal it has been necessary in the meanwhile on numerous occasions to restrain… There are many, many more such examples and through Churchill's inspiration the British people and their allies persevered and won through.
They use propaganda because they need support from the populous. If no one supports the war than the soldiers being drafted would tear up their draft cards and mutiny. If they support it however everyone not just the soldiers are doing their best to help their country which makes the government's job easier. Basically they use propaganda so they aren't fighting a war on 2 fronts.
The leader of the infamous Tammany Hall political machine in New York City who was accused and convicted of stealing millions of dollars from the New York state treasury was William Tweed.
Explanation:
William Tweed was an American politician. He led the Democratic party machine in New York City in the 19th century, named Tammany Hall, and was eventually convicted of corruption and misappropriation of government funds.
William Tweed began his political career in the New York City Administration and served as a delegate in the House of Representatives from 1853 to 1855. After this he held, among other things, a seat in the Senate of the state of New York as well as other positions in the state and city administration of New York. During this period he gained a lot of power for himself and his close associates. The clique around Tweed became known as the Tweed Ring and it operated from the New York City Democratic Party headquarters, Tammany Hall.
Tweed and his henchmen committed about $ 30 million to $ 200 million dollars in fraud. Only after a series of articles in the New York Times in 1871 these practices came to an end. Tweed was charged and in 1873 he was initially sentenced to 12 years in prison. After serving for one year, he was released but was immediately arrested again. Civil proceedings followed, but on December 4, 1875, Tweed managed to escape. He was finally arrested in Spain by the authorities there and extradited to the US where he would remain in prison until his death two years later.
Gandhi introduced to the world the concepts of ahimsa (nonviolence) and satyagraha (peaceful civil disobedience). Within the framework of these concepts, Gandhi employed a multitude of tactics, such as peaceful noncooperation with the authorities and massive boycotts of goods and services.
