EVENT PRT 2: The rise of the Nazi party

 The Nazi Party "(from the German Nazi, abbreviated from the pronunciation of Nationalsozialist)", was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the German Workers' Party (DAP) prior to a change of name in 1920. The party's last leader, Adolf Hitler ( ewww ), was appointed Chancellor of Germany by president Paul von Hindenburg in 1933. Hitler rapidly established a totalitarian regime known as the Third Reich.

However Hitelr was not the original leader of the Nazi party, Anton Drexler was the original leader of the party, when it was founded in 1918. he left power soon after  in 1923.

The ideas of the nazi party stressed the failures of laissez-faire capitalism, communism, economic liberalism, and democracy; supported the "racial purity of the German people" and that of other Europeans, and claimed itself as the protector of Germany from the Jewish influence and corruption. Their views eventually led to the start of world war 2 with hitler and the third reich as the main  source of conflict.

EVENTS PRT2: The Palmer Raids

The Palmer Raids were attempts by the U.S. Department of Justice to arrest and deport radicals, especially anarchistic rebels, in the united states. The raids and arrests occurred in November 1919 and January 1920 under Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer. Though more than 500 citizens were deported, which included a number of prominent radical leaders. Palmer's efforts were largely questioned by the US Department of Labor who had the rights of deportation and they objected who objected to Palmer's methods and disrespect for the legal processes involved. The Palmer Raids occurred in the context of the Red Scare, the term given to fear of and reaction against political radicals in the U.S., and world wide in the years immediately following World War I. For fears of socialism and Fascism's and communism.

Rise of socialism 20's

The 20's was a time of great tension which lay between the two world wars and the great depression, with all the criticisms towards governments socialism, communism and fascism began to rear their ugly heads. The basic idea of socialism and communism is to have a perfect society, where the government is controlled by a  classless society that doesn't depend on currency. its generally you do your job society will thrive perfectly, also the theory of it also means that markets cant be exploited and distorted, like in capitalist society. While Fascism's is the exact opposite a society from corporate point of view simply profits i suppose, a hard calculating number crunching cold society.

Important People part 3: the 31st president

Herbert Hoover, a former advisor to the 29th president was sworn in, in 1929. and was the president during famous great depression when the stock market crashed, which sort of over shadows everything else he did, eh left office with the highest debt in history left behind from any president.

Important People part 2: the 30th president

Calvin Coolidge, At 2:30 on the morning of August 3, 1923, while visiting in Vermont, Calvin Coolidge received word that he was President. He was sworn in on his family bible the same day. He had become the 30th president of the united states overnight, with the death of former president Warren G. Harding, via heart attack, know as being a strong determined president he won re-election in 1924. He often supported the econimcal boom and refused to on things like foreign policies and government checks on the current economic vote. it made him a huge hit, and probably one of the contributions to the eventual stock market crash

.

Important People part 1: the 29th president

Warren G. Hardding, born in 1865 in Ohio. A president who personally doesn't stand out to me, but is believed to be relatively successful. Presiding during the post world war I era, an area of slight advancements. However something that did happen during his residency, was his friends and their high political connections used it for their own advancement. He opposed this and often asked his adviser (a  future president) what to do he said to publisize it but he would never find out the publics reaction.  He died suddenly in 1923 of  a heart attack.

roaring 20's politics

Okay so i lost the blog that i had originally used for my project, so im going to transfer everything i did onto here. Hopefully it turns out well.

Obviously my part of the project is politics, the 1920's where a time of unstable ground directly after the nineteenth amendment was passed, which gave women the right to vote. Which helped pave the way for more equal rights acts for women, including several leagues and laws some of which i will actually go over. However their are three major topics to my blog posts, it will either be A Person, An Event, Or a Law/Act of congress. They're may also be a misc topic in their or two that i thought was interesting.

Political Movements in the Twenties

The 1920's was fertile ground for many political movements. With The sufferage campaign leading to the nintenth amendment a few years earlier, proved almost anything thing could be acomplished in a prejudiced society.
The Forming of ACLU- (American Civil Liberteis Union) A Union started to support the rights promised by the bill of rights, as well as several other things including protecting teh rights of immigrants.
Anti-Sufrage Movements- With the sufrage campaign brought prejudice, however the anti-sufrage campaigns didn't end after the nintenth amendment was passed they stayed alive  for several years until it finally died out in the late 20's.
Equal Rights Amendment- Was founded by women after teh sufrage campaign to improve womens rights even more.

Now the next two  are something i've never even herd of, and i don't even know how to describe them...

The Founding of ABCL- (American Birth Control League) The forming of a national comitte to grant dotors permition to help create birth control technology adn medications as well as raise awareness of Birth Control and open Birth Control clinics.

Anti-Lynching Crusades- A Policital movement spearheaded by the NAACP, with msot of its followers being black women, they attempted to raise money to help pass and gian support for anti lynching bills. While Former attempts had been made none where passed. However even this attempt failde adn lynchign didn't become a federal offense until 1965. ( For anyoen who doesn't know lynching is usually done by a mob and involves hanging people from tree's or burning at the stake, google at your own risk its very disturbing.)
