That's it!
It was considered important as Brandt did it on his own accord. It was not "planned" by somebody else and it was by a time the "iron curtain" still ran through Europe. The monument honored especially the victims of the uprising who were senselessly murdered by German soldiers.
Your turn Nick.

Who suceeded Brandt as Chancellor?

Malte279 · **Reply #122 on:** January 05, 2005, 04:47:08 PM

That would be Helmut Schmidt.
Why did Brandt by the way resign from his office as Bundeskanzer (sort of a "Cold War story")?

Nick22 · **Reply #123 on:** January 05, 2005, 04:59:25 PM

Because one of the ministers in his cabinet was revealed as a Communist spy. He didn't have to resign, but he did.

There are two. Until 1971 it was Walter Ulbricht and from 1971 on it was Erich Honecker.

Good. Your turn again.

Even years before the begin of WW2 did Germany violate the regulations of the treaty of Versailles. Please give two examples.

I'm taking a crack from memory here.... they built up their arms program - and everyone knew they were doing it, and they sent troops up into the Rhineland near the border of France, an area that was off-limits.

Malte279 · **Reply #130 on:** January 06, 2005, 09:58:38 AM

Exactly. They Built up an air force (which they were not allowed). They built larger ships than they were permitted. They occupied the Rhineland...
Your answer was correct Arvens.

Your turn.

Nick22 · **Reply #131 on:** January 06, 2005, 01:23:30 PM

Very good Arvens. There were many ways that Germany violated the Versailles treaty, but you already listed the most obvious ones.

Malte279 · **Reply #132 on:** January 08, 2005, 04:43:23 AM

You gave the right answer Arvens.

You may come up with the next question.

Nick22 · **Reply #133 on:** January 11, 2005, 04:17:17 PM

ask something Arvens.

I had no idea I had even responded to this since I hardly know anyhing about German history. -_-

This is all I can think of right now:

This 1998 merger allowed a prominent German company to acquire a prominent American one in this type of manufacture.

Nick22 · **Reply #136 on:** January 19, 2005, 11:42:26 PM

That would be Daimler acquiring Chrysler(sp). A German car producer buying an American car producer.
Nick

Petrie · **Reply #137 on:** January 20, 2005, 09:47:30 AM

That it is....

Couldn't think of anything else.

Nick22 · **Reply #138 on:** January 21, 2005, 12:44:36 PM

Oh Well, At least you know that much. Why was Hemut Kohm Defeated by Konrad Schroeder in the 1998 election?(give me specifics)
