Which country is the biggest gold producer in the world?
which country has the highest gold reserve
you can find the U.S. world statistics at the USGS. Bigest country producer :
* south africa * USA * China * Peru * ...
I would say that the countries who lead gold are USA, South Africa for there reserves and also because the bigest mining companies are located there (Rio Tinto is from the UK...).
The mining companies have a major role as they hold the supply side... and this way control the prices. They can short term reduce or increase production and long term through investment in explotation and exploration.

What was Hungary's involvement in World War 2?
They sided with Germany. The story of Hungary in WWII as an Axis partner, like all stories, has its roots in the History preceding it. Hungary found itself demoralized and destroyed after the 1918 break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the end of WWI. Following the break-up, Hungary fell into a state of chaos, being led by a number of ineffectual Governments until a Communist named Bela Kun proclaimed a Soviet Hungarian Republic. The period following this takeover was known in Hungary as the "Red Terror". In 1919, Vice-Admiral Miklos Horthy, the last Commander-in-Chief of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, raised an army which overthrew the Communist Republic.
In 1920 Hungary signed the Treaty of Trianon, and in the process, lost a good deal of its territory to the Nations around it. This Treaty, although giving Hungary independance, also gave a good deal of territory to neighboring Romania, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. This treaty also mandated things like the size of the standing army; 35,000 officers and men divided into 7 mixed brigades*, headquarter troops and a Danube Naval Flotilla. Under the provisions of this Treaty, tanks, artillery and an air force were also prohibited.
In attempts to regain stability in the years preceeding WWII, Hungary, under the leadership of Horthy, strived to find alliances that would benefit their attempt at regaining lost territory. After searching in vain to England and France, in 1927 Hungary signed another treaty, this time with its former enemy from WWI, Italy. This opened the door even more** for Hungarian support of the Axis cause.
In the 1930's Hungarian Prime Minister Gyula Gombos pulled Hungary even more towards the Axis camp by signing a trade agreement with Germany. As a result of this agreement, in time, Hungary found itself in better economic and political footing. As Hungary began to re-establish itself politically and economically, it also began to thrive socially, and a seemingly open-minded Horty was not oppresive of emerging left or right wing groups. In this air of acceptance many groups began to form that were sympathetic to or emulated the German National Socialists.
From 1938 to 1941, Hungary began to regain its lost territory, either through political means, or through limited military actions. In 1938 Hungary regained areas previously incorporated into the region of Slovakia. In 1939, an 8th mixed brigade was formed, and then all mixed brigades were expanded to corps. Another corps was then added, a Mobile Corps, as well as a new airforce. In March of 1939 the 8th Corps and the Mobile Corps occupied Czechoslovakian Ruthenia. Also in 1939, Hungary joined the Anti-Comintern Pact along with Germany, Italy and Japan. When Germany invaded Poland in September of 1939, Hungary declared itself neutral, although it had been mobilizing its forces since 1938.
In 1940, Rumania was forced by Germany to give back Northern Transylvania. At this time, a 9th Corp was formed that now borderd on the Rumanian frontier in the Carpithian Mountains region.
The Nine Corps areas of Hungary each raised three Dandar or Light Divisions, each with one front-line infantry regiment and one reserve infantry regiment, each of three battalions; a two battalion artillery regiment of 24 guns; a cavalry troop, anti-aircraft company, and a signals company. The Corps themselves also had one motorized infantry battlion, often mounted on bikes, as well as anti-aircraft, engineer and signals battalions. As well as these units, Hungary also fielded Mountain and Border Guard brigades, labour battalions, so-called "Life Guard", Crown Guard, and Parliament Guard units. Hungary was at the time in theory, if not in practice, considered to be a Monarchy with the associated Royal functions and positions; this is why the Hungarian units usually had "Royal" in their titles).
The full order of battle at this time consisted of the following units:
Also in 1940, Hungary created 3 Army Commands that would then control the various Corp formations located throughout the Nation. At the time of the creation of the new Army Commands, the Hungarian Army consisted of the following units:
Formation Location 1st ArmyKolozsvar 2nd Army Budapest 3rd ArmyPecs I.Army Corps Budapest II.Army Corps Szekesfehervar III.Army CorpsSzombathely IV.Army Corps Pecs V.Army Corps Szeged VI.Army Corps DebrecenVII.Army Corps Miskolc VIII.Army CorpsKassa IX.Army Corps Kolozsvar Mobile Corps Budapest
Finally, in 1941, German and Italy attempted to bring Hungary into a Military alliance. To do this, they offered Hungary the return of more territory that had been taken in the 1920 Treaty of Trianon. In April of 1941, Germany entered into Hungarian territory to prepare for the invasion of Yugoslavia. In so doing, they requested the aid of Hungary, who then mobilized the Hungarian 3rd Army. For the invasion of Yugoslavia, Hungary fielded the following units into the disputed territories that Yugoslavia controlled:
3rd Hungarian Army I.Army Corps
1st Infantry Brigade
13th Infantry Brigade
15th Infantry Brigade
IV.Army Corps
2nd Infantry Brigade

12th Infantry Brigade
V.Army Corps
14th Infantry Brigade
19th Infantry Brigade
2nd Cavalry Brigade

On June 27th, 1941, after Germany had invaded the Soviet Union, Hungary formally declared war against the Soviet Union and became a full Axis partner to German and Italy. The pattern for this declaration had been set many years before, and the final impetus for the move is said to have come when the Hungarian city of kassa was bombed, supposedly by Russian aircraft. According to Andris Kursietis, debate regarding this event is still occuring, and blame can not be placed firmly on any one source, although some have placed the blame on Germany in a scheme to draw Hungary into the war. Whom ever is to blame, the end result was a far reaching one, as it pulled Hungary firmly into the Axis forces.
(*According to Andris Kursietis, an acknowledged authority on the Hungarian armed forces, the term "mixed brigade" was a misnomer. It was in fact, a cover name for an army corps. Each of the 7 so-called mix brigades were actually corps, with the units making up their parts actually being brigades waiting to be formed. It was through this process that Hungary had prepared itself for mobilization in time of need, against the grain of the imposed Allied restrictions of the Treat of Trianon.)
(**So far, the removal of Hungarian territory and the experiances of the "Red Terror" in 1918 had provided the imputus for Hungary to move towards the Axis camp during the years preceeding WWII. With the Alliance with Italy in 1927 and later economic consessions towards Germany, Hungary became a very real potential member of the Axis forces.)

What did the machine gun do in World War 1?
During World War I, machine guns played a crucial role on the battlefield. Their impact was significant and multifaceted:
Defensive Power: Machine guns were highly effective in defensive positions. They could deliver a continuous stream of bullets, making it extremely difficult for enemy forces to advance. This led to the entrenchment of armies and contributed to the prolonged stalemates and trench warfare that characterized much of the Western Front.
Trench Warfare: The ability of machine guns to create "killing zones" in no-man's land made trench warfare particularly deadly. Soldiers faced heavy casualties as they attempted to cross these areas under constant fire, which often resulted in high death tolls and attrition.
Psychological Impact: The sheer firepower and constant noise of machine guns had a demoralizing effect on troops. The fear of being mowed down by machine gun fire contributed to the overall stress and psychological strain experienced by soldiers.
Tactical Changes: The use of machine guns forced changes in military tactics. Armies had to adapt by developing new strategies for infantry assault, including the use of artillery barrages to suppress machine gun positions before advancing.
Technological Evolution: The experiences of World War I spurred advancements in machine gun technology and tactics. The war saw improvements in the design and deployment of machine guns, which continued to evolve throughout the conflict and beyond.
Overall, machine guns were a game-changer in World War I, significantly altering the nature of warfare and contributing to the high casualty rates and the grueling conditions faced by soldiers.

What did the big three want to do t Germany at the Treaty of Versailles?
France wanted Germany to suffer badly as revenge for France's losses. Britain wanted the Treaty to be harsh, but not too harsh that it made Germany too weak to stop a possible communism spread from Russia to Western Europe. (N.B. This was Lloyd George's fear; the public just wanted Germany to suffer.) America felt it should stay out as much as possible of future European affairs, and only wanted to make peace with Germany and restrict her so she wouldn't start another war.

Who were the bad guys and who were good guys during World War 1?
It depends on who you ask. This war had no clear good or bad sides, mostly because the war was largely about territorial despute and tensions that had been building for almost a century. The Imperial powers were all fighting for the same reason for the most part. It is also worth mentioning that the United States almost joined the Central Powers at one point, which demonstrates how similar the two sides really were. The Central Powers and Allies Powers were neither good nor bad; the result of the war however, imposed by the Allies, was the central cause of the second world war.
At the end of the 13th century BC, the Hittite Empire fell into decline and was finally destroyed by the invasion of the "Sea Peoples". Neo-Hittite kingdoms emerged in the mid-11th century BC but they never reached the power of the former Hittite Empire and were conquered by the Assyrians in the the late 8th century BC.
