How was Germany economy after worl war 2?
It was rebuilt with Allied assistance and this did much to alleviate famine. The country was divided, occupied and governed by French, British, Russian and American troops. The US Marshal Plan was the alternative chosen to replace the demands of some, that Germany be reduced to the status of an agrarian society.
Starvation was rife amongst the various "displaced persons," a category that only came into use after the defeat. Slaves and others brought in to aid war production were unable to return to their homelands because the Russians had seized them and closed the borders and besides that, they had no papers to validate their claims of ownership or nationality. The majority of ex-German soldiers were "de-Nazified" and turned loose to swell the ranks of the desperate. That is, except to ones captured by the Russians, the majority of whom, vanished. Russians captured by the Germans were executed when returned to Russia by the Allies.
How much do auto workers in Japan get paid?
My son's wife is Japanese and worked in a Toyota factory in Japan in 2001-2006. She says that starting income is about $18,000 per year. Benefits are worth about $3000 per year. Average income for a worker is about $31,000. I guess that's why it's hard for our companies to compete. She thinks that we are crazy or stupid for paying a bunch of high school graduates so much for doing such a simple job.
Well what a thought, heres one. These Americn workers in these Toyota plants like Georgetown, Ky. will probley last about 15 years working at the pace and stress they put on their bodies. Between worn out shoulders, knees, hips, and all other kinds of wear-down on their bodies they will be lucky to surivive to retire. So when you go and bash workers for making a descent living think about how much money their companies are putting in the bank and doing it at the cost of the broken down bodies of the workers. I suggest you try their jobs and see how much they go through, I know because I am one of them with two bad sholders and hip.......

The Roman Empire divided between the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire, retained control over Greece up until the 1400s-1500s when Sultans Mehmet II, Selim I, and Suleiman of the Ottoman Empire conquered Greece from the Byzantines.
It should also be noted that Crete and a number of the Ionian, Cycladic, and Dodecanese Islands were controlled by Venetians or Templars during the 1400s-1700s.
During World War II, Italy's invasion of Greece was primarily a blatant attempt to expand Italian territory and power at the expense of a supposedly weak neighbor. At the same time, Italy's dictator-leader, Benito Mussolini, sought to gain more prestige for his country in light of the recent successes of Germany.
What European country took over Africa?
Since this is in the section of Germany in WW2, Europe, there was no sole conquering nation of Africa. England and France had still controlled a large amount of colonies (from the Age of Imperialism as well as taking German colonial possessions post WWI). However, Italy (under the fascist Mussolini), had picked up part of Ethiopia (which was independent at the time due to repelling Italy in the Age of Imperialism), as well as part of British East Africa. The Nazis (under the "Desert Fox", Rommel), had been spreading East across Northern Africa via tank warfare

What was the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising?
In the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (April-May, 1943) a small number of Jews still in the Warsaw Ghetto rose in rebellion against the Judenrat and the Nazis. Obviously, they did not stand a chance against the SS, but at least they went down fighting. The Nazis burned down every building in the ghetto.
The later Warsaw Uprising of 1944 was unrelated to the earlier ghetto uprising, though a handful of the 34 Jewish survivors of the ghetto uprising, such as Zivia Lubetkin, took part in both.
---
After the supression of the uprising the Warsaw Ghetto or part of it was turned into a concentration camp, but very little is known about that camp.
