Why did the Germans invade Paris?
The question might better be asked, "What did the Danes do to the Nazis?" The Nazis had real difficulties in Denmark. At first it seemed rather easy. They swarmed across the tiny border between Denmark and Germany and because there was a rather small army the King thought it best if Denmark capitulated. They sank their ships in the harbour and then allowed the German superior force to occupy Denmark. Later however when it was understood that the Germans were going to start rounding up the Jews of Denmark, the people started fighting back. they bombed major munitions installations and rail lines. They mounted an unprecedented underground communications network to keep people infomed about what was going on and an amazing number of ordinary Danes began advising their Jewish friends to go into hiding. They hid the Jews in homes in churches on farms and finally smuggled them into small fishing boats and sailed them to neutral Sweden. This may not seem very heroic to most but when you begin to understand just how many of the Jewish population in Denmark were saved, it is absolutely astounding. When the Jews were finally able to return after the war, they found their homes well taken care of. Neighbours had willingly gone in and watered plants and looked after their homes for them.

Why did France and Germany have historic rivalry?
French-German relations have been time and again tested throughout history. Ever since the 18th century, the two states have had a mutual distrust, constantly fearing an attack from one another. In the Napoleonic Wars, France (the continental European superpower at the time) invaded Prussia (what was then Germany), occupying the area and eventually continuing on to Russia. Although le bleu were stopped by a bitter Russian winter, pushed out of Russia, and eventually out of Prussia, a deep-seated distrust developed between the French and the German states. Later that century, in 1870, the cunning Prussian prime minister Bismarck engineered a unification of the German states by goading France into a declaration of war. Shocking the world, the advanced Prussians smashed the cocky French in the Franco-Prussian War. Reluctantly, France ceded the famous Alsace-Lorraine territory to Prussia. Immediatley after the war, however, the French pledged themselves to getting back their lost territory. They developed Plan XVII, a scheme to take back Alsace-Lorraine from the hated Germans if war should ever break out. In 1882, Germany formed an alliance with Austria-Hungary. France, feeling understandly threatened from the two emerging powers to their east, formed an alliance with Russia in early 1900. These two opposing alliances, along with the desire to create an empire and rising nationalism, led to an incredibly intriguing and costly arms race in Europe. Hundreds of battleships were built; armies were in the millions. Even Great Britain was brought out of its splendid isolationism (Britain had 49 battleships to Germany's 29 at the end of the race). The kindling was there--France wanted to exact revenge and get Alsace Lorraine back while Germany wanted an empire--it just needed a spark. After World War I, in which the French fought gallantly and proudly (for all you French military haters) Germany ceded Alsace-Lorraine back to France in the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty was incredibly harsh on the Germans, another factor which caused the Germans to despise their western neighbor. However, despite the French victory in the Great War, Le Bleu remained wary and suspicious of a German attempt to regain the territory. The memory of France's horrific losses in WWI were still fresh in French minds, and they remained acutely aware of the fact that their population was smaller than the Germans, and thus every man lost was far more costly. This caused France to build the Maginot Line, which heightened the rivalry and distrust between the two collosi.
[Canada is not most hated im not from Canada im from Australia but Canada is not most hated.]
The previous answer wasn't even an answer at all.
People don't hate Canada, it's simple nationality rousing. You'll get it all the time, mainly over the internet. The problem with U.S and Canadians [which are the main culprits lately] is that we are SO similar that we WANT to find something different so that we can fit stereotypes that we don't agree with.
For example:
"The U.S sucks! Have fun destroying the middle east for no reason!"
"Well at least we're not afraid of everyone. Oh, that's right! You're peace keepers yet there you are, not keeping the peace! Hell, you have free healthcare and you're still scared of it!"
"That's because we're not bullies! We don't need to attack smaller nations to feel good about ourselves. At least our people aren't sheepish enough to follow blindly into anything some stupid, old politician gets himself into!"
It's friendly competition, no matter how heated it gets. At the end of the day, if either of us we're to desperately need the other, we'd be there. The war in the middle east is NOT a desperate need.
Canada and the U.S are brothers. Ask any war veteran for starters, or anyone with a clear head on their shoulders.
Don't grow up thinking we hate each other, the world has enough problems.

King Camp Gillette (January 5, 1855 - July 9, 1932) was an American businessman, popularly known as the inventor of the safety razor. While Gillette did improve the design of the safety razor (patent US775134), his true invention was an inexpensive, high profit-margin stamped steel disposable blade and a unique business model that later became known as freebie marketing. This beat out competitors and became the most popular razor of its time.

Why did France fall behind Britain in industrialization?
Britain underwent an agricultural revolution, leading the production of farm machinery. This with the lack of usable farmland forced people to move to towns and work in the factories. As well as well as this Britain had a bigger empire and so could distribute its goods all over the world. (Joey Carroll)
Why Britain and France declared war on Germany?
The British were a part of the Anglo-Polish military alliance, an agreement between several countries, including England, France, and Poland. When the Germans invaded Poland in the fall of 1939, Great Britain gave the Germans an ultimatum to pull all of their troops out of Poland immediately, but Germany ignored them. A day later, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany, as they had agreed to do as part of the military alliance.

Who are the top 3 sack leaders for the 49ers?
Officially, Bryant Young (89.5 sacks), Charles Haley (66.5) and Dana Stubblefield (46.5) rank as the top three sack leaders in 49ers history. However, sacks were not officially recorded until 1982. 49ers records indicate that Cedrick Hardman, who played with the 49ers from 1970-79, registered 106.5 sacks for the 49ers. Hardman's teammate Tommy Hart (with 49ers from 1968-77) is unofficially credited with 106 sacks.
It is reasonable to believe that former 49er greats such as Leo Nomellini and Charlie Krueger probably logged a significant number of sacks during their long careers. Unfortunately, their sack totals were not recorded and are lost to history.
Hitler had 3 brothers, Gustav, Otto and Edmund, and 2 sisters, Paula and Ida, as well as a step-brother, Alois and a step-sister, Angela.

Midget is a term used to describe an exceptionally short person. The terms "midget" and "dwarf" are often used synonymously, as both terms mean someone who has been short in stature since birth, but those terms were not originally synonyms. Midget is a term that was originally coined in 1865, referring to an extremely short but normally proportioned person. P.T Barnum indirectly helped popularize "midget" when he began featuring General Tom Thumb in his circus. Dwarf was originally used to denote those with short limbs as compared to those who had proportioned limbs. Like many other older terms, "midget" has became part of popular language, it was often used in a pejorative sense. When applied to a person who is very short, midget is now often considered offensive.
