Why did East Germans emigrate to West Germany/West Berlin?
Korvikt [17]
Life in West Germany was a lot better than the life in East Germany.

One of the major differences was the freedom: of opinion, speech and press. Eastern Germans were spied on by the state (especially by the Stasi police) and one never knew whom one could trust; often family members were recruited to spy on their relatives, and houses were bugged. Also the punishment for any sign of favoring the west over east was severe, and there were cases of forced labour and even torture.

Additionally, Western Germany was richer and had access to many goods that the East didn't, most specifically western goods.

Also, the East Germans didn't really emigrate; they weren't allowed to. They had to escape and the pushiment for being caught escaping was also high (from loss of work opportunities forever to imprisonment)

vovangra [49]

Be largely agricultural and rural.

The Republicans or Democratic-Republicans were formed under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson out of the ideals of the Anti-Federalists who emerged during the Constitutional Convention.

The Republicans wanted a government that was small and state centered. They also believed the future of the US economy was in farming. Farming produced hard working citizens focused on creating a strong foundation of leadership and morals. Jefferson believed that people who owned land and worked hard to produce from their land would be the best citizens.

Why did the treaty of Versailles occur. (please give me at least 7 sentences or more) FOR 30 POINTS
Degger [83]

On January 18, 1919 - just over two months after the fighting on World War I's Western Front ended - the Paris Peace Conference opened, beginning the five months of debates and discussions that surrounded the drawing up of the Versailles Treaty. Although many diplomats from the Allied Powers participated, the "big three" (Prime Minister David Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau of France, and President Woodrow Wilson of the United States) were the most influential. Germany was not invited. On May 7, 1919, the Versailles Treaty was handed over to Germany, who was told they had only three weeks in which to accept the Treaty. Considering that in many ways the Versailles Treaty was meant to punish Germany, Germany of course found much fault with the Versailles Treaty. The first part of the Versailles Treaty established the League of Nations. Other parts included the terms of military limitations, prisoners of war, finances, access to ports and waterways, and reparations. The most controversial aspect of the Versailles Treaty was that Germany was to take full responsibility for the damage caused during World War I (known as the "war guilt" clause, Article 231). The terms of the Versailles Treaty were so seemingly hostile to Germany that German Chancellor Philipp Scheidemann resigned rather than sign it. However, Germany realized they had to sign it for they had no military power left to resist. On June 28, 1919, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Germany's representatives Hermann Müller and Johannes Bell signed the Versailles Treaty in the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles near Paris, France.
