How did World War 1 set into motion the events leading to the Great Depression and World War 2?
World War I put many countries in debt. Plus, the Treaty of Versailles, which ended it, punished Germany heavily.

When Germany started to resent the treaty, Hitler was elected because he promised to end Germany's suffering.

yes especially since he had dropped the Abomb on japan. but then the allies wouldve won, right? He's not a criminal. The atomic bomb is a weapon, and it saved many American lives. There was no reason that it should not have been used. They might have tried him if we lost, but he didn't do anything wrong in my opinion.

What did Hoo Ah Kay contribute to Singapore?
Hoo Ah Kay, Whampoa (1816-1880) popularly known as Whampoa, Hoo Ah Kay was the best-known and most-liked Chinese in the Straits Settlements in the 1850s. The moniker Whampoa came from the fact that he was born at Whampoa near Canton in Southern China. Hoo Ah Kay came to Singapore in 1830 when he was 15 years old. He built a flourishing ship chandler business and later diversified into bakery and property business. He also imported ice from the United States and built his ice house at River Valley Road which no longer exists today. Whampoa was one of the very few Chinese at the time who spoke English and was thus an indispensable bridge between the Chinese and English business communities. He rose to higher political office than any other Chinese of his time; for instance, he became the first Asian to be appointed to the Legislative Council in 1867 under the British Colonial Government. He also held positions as Consul of Russia, China and Japan in Singapore. The Whampoa area, including the river and bridge that spans the Whampoa canal at Serangoon Road, were all named after him.
