To what extent did the position of the black population improve between 1940 and 1950?

To what extent did the position of the black population improve between 1940 and 1950? During 1940 and 1950 the black people struggled to fight for their basic civil rights in the United States of America. The black people suffered strong discrimination in terms of housing, jobs and even education and travel. The blacks also sometimes suffered physical racial attacks. However during the 1940's and early 1950's blacks fought to improve the civil rights in a number of different aspects. These aspects were in political, social and economic areas. An example of the political aspects was the proposed March on Washington in March 1941, which was organised by a well educated man called A Phillip Randolph. In terms of improvements in social aspects the blacks probably found the most improvements, with improvements in the armed forces. In the army during the Second World War there was a high enlistment rate. This meant that the black people were employed. Whilst at war however there was only one sign of equal rights which was on the front line. This was because the whites saw the blacks as nothing and that they could afford to lose the black lives. This is a very weak argument for the blacks seeing improvements in life. However there are a number of arguments against blacks getting an improved life during these years which are segregation was most definitely enforced in

Why was Germany unable to defeat Britain by 1941?

0Jamie Davies Coursework Why was Germany unable to defeat Britain by 1941? In this essay I am going to research why Germany was unable to defeat Britain. To enable me to do this I am going to investigate all the key events that happened e.g. the evacuation of Dunkirk. Germany was unable to defeat Britain by 1941 because Germany kept changing their tactics and Britain was taking full advantage of this. The first key event that Britain took full advantage of was the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940; also know as the "miracle." The advancing German army trapped the British and French armies on the beaches of Dunkirk. 330,000 men were trapped and they were a sitting target, for the Germans. From may 24th 1940 to 4th June 1940 hundreds of small boats helped ferry over 330,000 allied forces from the beaches of Dunkirk, to the larger ships offshore. The larger ships could not get near the beaches of Dunkirk as the beach of Dunkirk was on a shallow slope and the larger boats were an easy target for the Germans. Despite the attacks from German fighter and bomber planes Hitler never launched a full-scale attack on the beaches of Dunkirk. This was Hitler's first fatal mistake of the war, because over 333,000 soldiers were evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk. The evacuation of Dunkirk was a success because Hitler ordered his tanks to stop outside Dunkirk so the bulk of the

In 1945, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why did the Americans decide to carry out these attacks? Explain your answer.

In 1945, atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why did the Americans decide to carry out these attacks? Explain your answer. The Americans decided to carry out these attacks for a variety of interrelated factors; the conglomeration of these factors led to the deployment of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. No one factor was entirely responsible for the dropping of the bombs, however some factors are more significant than others. One significant factor is that the tension between the USA and USSR was building, for various reasons. One reason for this tension was a misunderstanding, a disagreement, related to the Polish government; Hitler had been defeated, allegedly committing suicide on the 30th April 1945, and Poland was liberated, meaning it needed a government. The Russians wanted to impose a Communist, Russia-orientated government in Poland, whereas the Americans had wanted a more balanced approach to government. This misunderstanding led to American contempt for Russia, seeing them as liars and deal-breakers, although this was never voiced by President Roosevelt. President Roosevelt died unexpectedly on the 12th April 1945, leaving President Truman in charge, worsening American relations with Russia. This is because Roosevelt, familiar to Molotov and Russian diplomats, was no longer there, leaving them with an unfamiliar entity, Truman. Truman had

Account for the rise of the Labour Party 1900 - 31

Account for the rise of the Labour Party 1900 - 31 The setting up of the Labour Representation Committee in 1900 caused no great stir at the time, and there were few who regarded it as more than another pressure group aiming to strengthen the labour cause. However, by 1931 the Labour Party had been in office on two occasions and had overtaken the Liberals as the second party in Britain. How did this situation arise? What factors, social, economic, and political played a part? What contribution did individuals make? What effect did circumstances such as the First World War and the decline of the Liberal party have on Labour's dramatic rise? And how did the party's own legislative record contribute to its increased popularity? In this essay I have paid particular attention to a factor inextricably linked to Labour's rise, the fortunes of Britain's 'second-party' in 1900 - the Liberal Party. The interaction of these two parties over the first 30 years of the century go most of the way to explaining why in 1924 and 1929 Labour was able to win general elections. ` ` `Certainly, during the decade before the First World War there seemed no inevitability about Labour's rise, at least to contemporaries. The basic fact about British politics then was the domination of the great Liberal Party. This meant, therefore, that far from expanding as an independent after 1900 there was a

The Theme of Responsibility in "Mother Courage" and "Metamorphosis"

WORLD LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT ONE Choices, which influence the manner in which the protagonists shape their lives, in the two works' Mother Courage and Her Children: A Chronicle of the Thirty Years War In this essay I am going to explore how responsibility is a driving force which determines choices which influence the manner in which the protagonists shape their lives, in the two works' Mother Courage and Her Children: A Chronicle of the Thirty Years War'1 by Bertolt Brecht and' The Metamorphosis'2 by Franz Kafka. I will explore The responsibility taken up by both the protagonists does not have a positive impact on either, in fact it is one of the reasons for their suffering. Responsibility in both cases can be interpreted as a strong sense of duty, which urges them to make the kind of choices that they do. It is therefore the sense of responsibility that they feel, which has an impact on their emotions, actions and their well-being. Both the works Mother Courage and Her Children by Bertolt Brecht and The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka deals with the protagonists who have a strong feeling of duty and responsibility toward the well being of her family with a strong feeling of duty and responsibility towards the well being of their families w.

Development and Inequality Essay

THOMAS TREVILLA Describe some of the factors which act as barriers to the developing world. How have individual countries been able to over come it ? Just as life chances are unequally distributed within society throughout our worlds development, so are there inequalities of life chances on an international order. These inequalities are conventionally known in terms of a ranking of worlds. First, Second, Third and Africa considered as a Fourth world. Second, Third and Fourth world countries face barriers that hinder its social, political, economical, natural and technological development. Such examples of this would be economic depression, political factors, war, and natural disasters. But some nations have overcome these obstacles and have continued to push forward with its development. The Great Depression began in October 1929, when the stock market in the United States had dropped rapidly. This crash led into the Great Depression. The ensuing period of twelve years resulted in it becoming ranked as the worst period of high unemployment and low business activity in modern history. Banks, businesses, and factories were closed and it had left millions of Americans in lack of an occupation, a home and some without food. A vast majority of Americans had come to depend on the government or charities for their only source of food. The depression became a worldwide business

Religion was the most serious problem facing Elizabeth in 1558? How far do you agree with this statement?

Religion was the most serious problem facing Elizabeth in 1558? How far do you agree with this statement? When Elizabeth’s reign began in 1558 England was in the middle of a ‘mid-Tudor crisis’. Elizabeth was inheriting a terrible situation, which she had to sort out. Over the last 40 years there had been 3 different rulers, Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary I all of which had very different views on religion and running the country. Elizabeth was left with many problems which included religion, finance, foreign policies and gender. There is evidence to support the statement that religion was the most serious problem but there is also evidence that suggests that there were many other factors involved too. Elizabeth first big problem was religion. She had to decide on the nature of the religious settlement she would introduce. Elizabeth had three choices; she could follow the English Catholicism, which her father Henry VIII had. She could follow Protestantism, like Edward or finally Roman Catholicism, like Mary. The problem was that whichever one she picked she would upset and anger one set of people. For example a group of extreme Protestants, known as the Marian Exiles, had fled to Europe during Mary’s reign, they had returned in 1558 expecting to be offered influential government posts. If they didn't acquire this would they rebel and cause problems for Elizabeth? The

Have Powers From Outside the Middle East Helped or Hindered in the Search for a Resolution to the Arab-Israeli Conflict since 1948?

Deepika Reddy Have Powers From Outside the Middle East Helped or Hindered in the Search for a Resolution to the Arab-Israeli Conflict since 1948? The tension in the Middle East is a constant problem; originating from both historical and religious claims to the area. It is strengthened, as both parties have convinced themselves that they are right, and are victims of the other side. Furthermore, it has been fuelled by the involvement of the Western powers, as well as the stubbornness of the Middle Eastern powers, not wanting to go the peace talks with the political incentive to resolve the problems at hand. As the Middle East is valuable for oil, and trading access (such as the Suez Canal), outside powers only seem to have their own interests at heart; since they are so dependant on these factors. A significant involvement, with the superpowers in 1948, is seen in the American recognition of the new state of Israel. This involvement, would have many motives, the US wanted to have an ally, in the area, in order to be able to have a source of oil, and trade route, with the Middle East. The involvement will also lead to the area becoming an extension of the Cold war, where the outside powers help arm either side, pushing them towards peace from war, rather than peace from negotiations. The US decided to back Israel, due to the massive Jewish lobby in America; again showing

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park . Describe the organisation and work of people at Bletchley Park. Bletchley Park was a small estate 50 miles outside London. Bletchley Park, codenamed 'Station X' was an evacuation site for MI6 and the government code and cypher school (Gccs). This location was chosen, as it was far away from London that the Germans would not consider it a worthwhile target to attack. It was founded in 1939 after world war two had started and aimed to break encoded German Messages that were sent using 'Enigma'. Station X was so important that when several code breakers wrote a letter to Winston Churchill asking for more money (because of coming under intense pressure) Churchill's immediate respond was that 'make sure they have all that they want extreme priority and report to me that this has been done'. In Britain there were 'Y stations' where the messages were intercepted. Once a message had been intercepted it would appear as Gibberish. This was because the enigma changed every letter. The German operators of the Enigma had to change the rota settings every day. These rota settings were what the code breakers of Bletchley Park had to figure out. Once they had figured out the settings they could then read all the messages for that day. They had to figure out the new rota settings every day of the war. These were Seventeen thousand five hundred and seventy six different
