    The Horror Of War In Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet On The Western Front

    Throughout history, war has been constantly evolving. Over time, it has taken a new less glorious form. World War One was one of the most devastating and transformative events in human history. In Erich Maria Remarque’s book, All Quiet on the Western Front, he depicts the horrors of “the great war” by showing the complete disregard for human life in modern warfare. This war modeled the way that any future war would be fought. It would shape human history by completely changing the game of warfare and people’s opinions of it. Remarque shows, from his point of view, the terrors that happen on a daily basis on the front lines, and away from it, of World War One. World War One changed the perception of war in a big way and opened the eyes of so many people to the horrors of modern warfare.…

    Oskar Schindler: A Hero Of The Holocaust

    “Schindler our protector, he was the only one who could protect us.” is a quote by Sol Urbach, a refugee of Oskar Schindler. Oskar Schindler was a Holocaust rescuer who saved over 1,200 prisoners during World War II. He rescued many of these prisoners by employing them in his factory as an excuse for their release. Oskar’s personality developed when he realized how awfully Jews were being treated during the war, so he decided to use his wealth to save the countless lives of others. Schindler used his cleverness, generosity, and social status to keep his Jews from the brutal conditions they might have had to face by Nazi party. Oskar may not have had a perfect early or adult life, but he is an outgoing hero of the Holocaust.…

    Clausewitz's Theory Of War

    While many scholars attempted to theorize war in human history, only few were credited for constructing consistent theories on which people could base and further their understanding of war and warfare. Those include Greek Thucydides, Chinese Sun Tzu, and Indian Kautilya all three from 3-4th century BC; Prussian Carl von Clausewitz and Swiss Antoine-Henry Jomini both from 19th century. All of those prominent theorist had a lot to offer and therefore had great influence on our thinking in war, warfare, and strategy. However, Clausewitz’s theory offers more insight if one carefully and purposely studied the “paradoxical trinity” identified in his…

    Critical Review of the Last Days of Hitler

    Shortly after the end of WWII, British Intelligence officer Hugh Trevor-Roper was given the task to establish the facts of Hitler's end, and thereby to prevent the growth of a myth. His report, later published as “The Last Days of Hitler”, draws on Allied intelligence's interrogations of survivors who spent time in the bunker during the last ten days of Hitler's life. Trevor-Roper organizes his book chronologically, but it's more a series of character sketches than a strict time line of events. We see a raving, physically broken, nearly insane Hitler contemplating both his heroic death and the complete and intentional destruction of his Reich, while his "flatulent clowns" (as Trevor-Roper calls them), even at this late date scramble to betray their leader, and one another, in their quest for power. Remarkably, each of these "flatulent clowns" considers himself entirely fit to govern a new Germany and expects to retain power after surrendering to the Allies. But his report- cutting, detailed, and well supported- effectively stifles any thought of a popular revival of Nazism.…

    The Universal Deceleration of Human Rights/Adolf Hitler

    To a large extent to which the creation of the United Nations and the fundamental rights expressed in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 was driven by the atrocities that occurred during World War Two and a need to protect human rights in the future. Although the UDHR was such a might establishment it has limited success, but continues to be an organisation that holds hope. Human Rights are the entitlements and freedoms to which all humans are empowered to, such as; the freedom of speech, information, life, belief, association and in law. However Adolf Hitler saw it necessary to remove basic liberties to achieve a nation of what he thought was a ‘master race’. His visionary goals were to abolish of all minority groups as he believed, such as the Jewish people. As ruthless as he was, Hitler did not allow any obstacles to prevent his idealistic development of Germany to become an overpowering nation. This meant that he would use inhumane methods. It was then decided that there was a need to strengthen and safeguard fundamental human rights so that these atrocities would never happen again, thus the adoption of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. Specifying that all humans are equal to one another, even though Hitler believed that there were various inferior groups that had to be exterminated.
