Which came first German or English?

As far as I know, all pureblood white people are either from the Romance culture of Europe or some part of the Germanic, with English being one of the Germanic tribes, or maybe some combination of the two, though they would no longer be pureblood anything.

If you think about it, our language is much more rough and much more gutteral than that of the Asian or Oriental languages or even the Romance languages such as French, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Portuguese.

German is our founding language, as English came from them, though due to our melting pot of a nation and America's multiculuralism, we are less gutteral than Germans, though American is much more rough sounding than our crumpet eating neighbors across the Atlantic.

I believe that the true English people of the UK are or at least were as refined as they are or were because of their appreciation of the arts and of their acceptance of the finer things in life, which was certainly the case with Shakespeare.

German came before English; English started as a variation of German this language was called Anglo-Saxon or Old English. After the Norman Invasion however the language became more Romance.

Answer

The previous answer is completely wrong and utterly racist. Both English and German evolved around the same time, from 2 common ancestral languages called Anglo-Frisian and Old Saxon.

Why were firearms invented?

they invented them so they could win WW1 + WW2/ the gun was invented because it took years of training and lots of arm strength to use the longbow with guns their armies could have 10 times the shooters of an army using longbows the gun also killed the enemy cleaner than the longbow because instead of bleeding to death like with an arrow a bullet uses hydrostatic shock to kill that means the impact of the bullet causes water or blood to expand its like an explosion but with water the gun also had greater penetration than the arrow it also allows a very small person to defend his/herself against a much larger person/animal it could also take down dangerous animals like a bear,moose,elk for food or fur a bow could also kill large game but they are more likely to charge even if you hit them the gun also allows freedom to exist most other weapons require too much training or strength for the average person to use but the gun takes little training and no muscle to use this allows a whole country with men wemon and even 9 year old children in some places to defend their countries independece

Was Hitler happy with the Munich Agreement?

Yes, Hitler obtained what he wanted from both Britain and France. This allowed him to proceed with his seizure of the Sudentland, which led to the eventual absorption of Czechoslovakia by the Third Reich. If either France or Britain would have been willing to stand up to Hitler militarily, then Hitler would have been forced to back down. The reason being that the Wehrmacht was not ready to handle a 2 front war.

Also members of the armed services (some very high ranking) or past members of their services who refused to join.

What is the Difference Between A King and an Emperor?

An Emperor is HIGHER than a King.

That's actually not true.......... anymore.

"Emperor" in the European medieval sense of the term - a ruler who claims the same rank as a Roman emperor, with the approval of another emperor or a supreme ecclesiastical official (the Pope or the Ecumenical Patriarch). The terms Tsar or Czar came about (derived from the word Kaiser" or more familiarly "Caeser") which meant a person of equal power as Caesar, which was the name given to the first 12 holy roman emperors.

Occasionally, the word could be used to designate other, secular, supreme rulers. In Russia and Bulgaria the imperial connotations of the term were blurred with time, due to the medieval translations of the Bible, and, by the 19th century, it had come to be viewed as an equivalent of King. By todays standards in terms of their power to rule their countries and people, they remain Equal. However, I'm pretty sure the only remaining leader refered to as an Emperor is in China. There are actually very few Kings left in the world as well. Basicly in modern times there really aren't any "Empires any more" There are Countries, Larger regions are called Continents, and sinse we dont have leaders of Continents, the term really no longer applies. So therefore, The term "Emperor "does not have the same meaning today as it did in mideaval times.

What did Europe look like after world war 1?

The fighting of WWI officially stopped when the armistice began at 11:00 am GMT on November 11, 1918. Although some fighting, particularly in eastern Europe, continued until about 1920, the war was largely over at this point. The allied naval blockade on Germany remained in effect until the treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28th, 1919. The treaty, signed between Germany (which was forced to sign) and the allies (The UK, France, Italy, and others), provided for the Germany having to accept responsibility for provoking the war and pay heavy reparations to the allies. In addition, the treaty established the league of nations, which the United States senate refused to ratify because of its largely isolationist policies. The United States drew up a separate peace agreement with Germany that was signed in August of 1920.

Just as the war ended in 1918, the Spanish Influenza epidemic ravaged the world, particularly war-torn Europe. Although the virus was known during the war, most deaths were during the year 1918, when over 50 million people died worldwide.

One of the most important changes after WWI was the dissolution of the German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman Empires. The Ottoman empire had joined the war on the side of Germany, and loosing the war was the final nail in the coffin for this decaying empire, which split into many of the current Middle-Eastern countries. The Russians had withdrawn from the war in 1917, when the Romanov dynasty was toppled by the Communists led by Vladimir Lenin. The new country that was formed (The USSR) did not receive any reparations as it left the war before it was over, by signing the Brest-Litovsk treaty with Germany (exchanging Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine for Peace). The German and Austro-Hungarian empires were fractured into small countries that would later have huge social and other unrest (such as Czechoslovakia).

After the its post-war revolution, Germany became the Socialist Weimar republic. Germany was not present at the treaty of Versailles, but was rather forced into obeying it. The new republic was ordered to pay a staggering 132 billion marks ($31.5 billion), an amount that was not paid off until October 2010. This resulted in huge inflation in the republic, to the point that many of its citizens found it cheaper to use paper money for heating instead of firewood. In addition to the monetary reparations, Germany was allowed combined armed forces of only 100,000, without tanks or an air force. Huge amounts of its former territory were given away to other countries. In fact, so much was given away that many ethnic Germans found themselves in other countries. Due to such unreasonable terms, the highly nationalistic Germans never really accepted the treaty, which in part allowed Adolf Hitler's rise to power.

Of course, changes occurred in the allied countries as well. Britain went from being the world's biggest investor before the war to being in debt after the war, and the pound fell considerably. People in the United states, disappointed by the failure of WWI to fulfill Woodrow Wilson's lofty promises (He had called it "the war to end all wars"), became isolationist. This was one of the major reasons for the stock market crash of 1929 which in turn led to the Great depression. Between the end of the war and the depression, however, American money helped revitalize Germany and set it up for it's huge regain of power. France's chief interest after the war was that Germany would not try to avenge itself. France annexed Alsace and Lorraine (which it had ceded to Germany as a result of the Franco-Prussian war), and France decided that the Rhine River would form the border between France and Germany. However, France was unhappy with the final treaty of Versailles, with the (later verified) concern that Germany was left with too much capabilities to rebound and attack. Italy received some territory, but felt angry at Britain and the other allies for not receiving the territory of Dalmatia, which Britain had promised as party of the Treaty of London. This led to intense feeling of nationalism which paved the way for fascism and Mussolini's rise to power.

The war also sparked many social changes. Such an unprecedentedly horrible war caused widespread social distress as well as the destruction of the optimism of the early 1900s. The social distress of the early 1900s itself sparked many changes, including a polarization of people towards or away from nationalism (Internationalism and Pacifism vs. Fascism and Militarism). The European sentiment was generally one of disillusionment and cynicism. Of course, these feelings were even stronger in areas directly affected by the war.

Who would win a fight between the Nazis and the Jedi?

The Mafia. A single Nazi could not take down one of the most prominent and sizable gangs.

How did the Wall street crash lead to Hitler's power?

Well, it certainly wasn't the only cause, but here's what happened.

After World War I, France (and other nations, but mainly France) got greedy. The French basically wanted to use the war as an excuse to destroy Germany (and therefore enhance France's power in Europe) by crippling it economically. Portions of German territory were seized by other nations, and Germany was saddled with a staggering debt for "war reparations".

The United States refused to sign the Treaty of Versailles (which contained these provisions) and had instead concluded a separate treaty with the Central Powers. The US was not interested in crippling Germany and in fact wanted Germany as a trading partner. In order to help Germany make the reparations payments with its weak economy after the war, the US loaned money to Germany.

Then came 1929 and the stock market crash. That ended the loans, and also dried up US markets for German goods, which was significant as the US was an important trading partner for Germany. US unemployment during the Great Depression was about 25%; German unemployment in the same period was around 33%.

Unemployed Germans, bitter about the terms of the Treaty of Versailles (which Germany had not even been allowed to participate in the negotiation of), were eager to follow anyone who promised a return to prosperity. The National Socialist Workers' Party did just that.

How did German attitudes contribute to the atmosphere before world war II?

The attitudes of people at the start of the war was that they couldn't wait to join, towards the end of the war the people were getting sick of the death, and the conditions that came with war. People wanted it to end and also women wanted changes to the way they were treated within society. They wanted to be recognised for what they could do, rather than being viewed as being a slave to their emotions. They wanted the patriarchal manner in which they were treated altered and strove to achieve this form differing perpectives.

Their emerged a growing tide of racist ideology and a shift in the balance of power within what we know to be the "West." This aggitation stemmed form the perceived threat of being isolated and losing world status that Britain had been accustomed to. The British were no longer the leaders of the industrial age. Germany and America became the leaders of what became known as the "second industrial revolution" that came to surpass Britain's dominance on the world stage. The production techniques had improved and those countries Britain - Germany and America had invested huge amounts of money in research and development, rather it was the financial constainsts that gave rise to Britain's innability to invest in technological techniques improving upon what was already in existence, that saw their demise. Therefore Britain was unable to compete with the emerging superpowers ( Germany, America) who both were busy building up their sea power and aircraft production. The idea of the nation state being "born" and with it the notion of territorial protectionism.

Nationalistic themes within the European landscape became domininant and they rested upon ideological theories such as Neo Darwianism and genetics the idea of the fittest of the fittest will survive, and that man evolved over time giving rise to the notion of hybredity. The white man at the top and going down the evolutionary scale until you find the black man at the bottom, all other races in between.

Facism took off in Italy and Germany under Mussilini and Hilter. In sapin you the thinking was of turning the clock back to an age where the Church and God were dominant. The ordinary person was viewed as in need of moral rejuventation and the church and the monarch especially the Catholic Church were to be the beacon of moralistic education. The world was seen as satanic and in need of purging.

Proto facism took hold those who wanted to reach over the heads of electiod governments and hold power resting upon the idea of blood line and tradition of a countries people was the key all others were irrelevant. In some ways those who are proto facists seek to their own agenda up front.

In Britain there was the idea that political parties could offer the masses direction. Conservatism held that the family, tradtional values and a sence of community responsibility was the way forward. In order to remain a dominant construct as what it mean to be Conservative and a viable party they realised that they could not be too severe with their doctrine in relation to tradition after all if you are a party wanting to stay in power and rule and protect your people then you need to appeal to them on all froms even if this means compromising on some of your ideals, and of course Britain historically has been a country where different nationalities reside together and there are a whole host of tradtions cultural ties and values within that too not just what it means to be British.

Whislt the labour party attracted mass support from the working classes earlier on during its formation. labour compromised on their ideals for they realised that the world was changing and with the emergence of globalisation the labour party needed to change too. The labour party no longer accepted mass strikes and picket lines they had to adopt a more proffessional stance and wanted to appear to all sections of society not just the tradional working class minors or dockers. As we know Thatcherism, one branch of conservatism moved away from accepting union domination in politics. Our society was one that relied heavily on capitalism and investment.

Thatcherism placed a lot of emphasis on the way the strcuture of British society developed and moved forward. No longer was Britain to be a centre for production per se but Britain became the World's financial centre and a service commuinty for the globe. Therefore, traditional jobs went coal mining the dockyards and heavy industrial processes curtailed, such as the steel industry for example. It became cheaper to import iron, steel and coal from abroad than to upgrade our industries at home.

Workers were effected in ways never seen before. The job for life mentality dissapeared, workers could expect to be placed on contracts, where work could be found, and along side this there was mass unemploymet. The new methods of working did not aspire to employers accepting or recognising trade unions membership in trade unions fell and thus traditional lablour unions suppport dropped.

This is why labour had to move with the time and professionalise themselves and this is why clause four of the labour party manefesto was dropped. Unions and union support has been affected by the way we are now employed and there has been a growth in legislation to protect people and the minimum wage has been introuced to alleviate the exploitation of working class people who perhaps work partime to fit around their families preominately; women who are carers, single mothers with child care responsibilities.

These are some ways in which attitudes have been shaped following the first world war and beyond it in or modern world But you must also bear in mind that there are otherways too, we can talk about political philosophy of war and social consequenies of war we can also debate immigration trends and demographics. There are a host of ways to structure an answer to the question asked.
