Case Study The Democarat and the Dictator
Franklin Roosevelt and Adolph Hitler both came to
power in 1933. They found themselves in charge of
nations still suffering from the consequences of
World War 1 and the Great Depression.
Unemployment in the US was nearly 25, while
nearly one-third of Germanys workforce had been
idled. Americans and Germans had opted for new
leadership in 1933 and were now looking to their
new leaders for solutions, and perhaps a new
vision of the future. Both FDRs Inaugural
address and Hitlers first address as Chancellor
of Germany have been analyzed for their
similarities and differences. Now its our turn!

Holocaust The following statement was taken from
a contemporary account of Germany in 1939
Though the Fuhrers anti-Semitic program
furnished the National Socialist party in the
first instances with a nucleus and a
rallying-cry, it was swept into office by two
things with which the Jewish Problem did not
have the slightest connection. On the one side
was economic distress and the revulsion against
Versailles on the other, chicanery and
intrigueHitler and his party promised the
unhappy Germans a new heaven and a new earth,
coupled with the persecution of the Jews.
Unfortunately a new heaven and earth cannot be
manufactured to order. But a persecution of the
Jews canHow do you interpret this contemporary

the Cold War. Your assignment this week is to not

visit www.tutorialrank.com The not so Cold
War It would be easy to dismiss the Cold War
simply as proof that Capitalism was a better
theory than Communism. Easy, but not the whole
story. In order for Communism to be relegated to
the dustbin of history, it first had to be proven
that its struggle against Capitalism unecessary
and thus irrelevant. How do the US and the USSR
close the gap in the last quarter of the 20th
Century to allow Communism to go out with a
whimper and not a bang?

Time to do a victory lap and celebrate the
primacy of American power. But the celebration
seemed short-lived, as there were plenty of other
concerns. Nothing is as it should be. Our
adversaries are now our allies, and our allies
are now competitors. The end of the Cold War
knocked down the Iron Curtain, but it also
destroyed conventional economic patterns. Is the
end of the Cold War proving to be good for world
peace, but not so good for world business?
