Few would have thought that the Nazi Party, starting as a gang of unemployed soldiers in 1919, would become the legal government of Germany by 1933. In fourteen years, a once obscure corporal, Adolf Hitler , would become the Chancellor of Germany.

World War I ended in 1918 with a grisly total of 37 million casualties, including 9 million dead combatants. German propaganda had not prepared the nation for defeat, resulting in a sense of injured German national pride. Those military and political leaders who were responsible claimed that Germany had been "stabbed in the back" by its leftwing politicians, Communists, and Jews. When a new government, the Weimar Republic , tried to establish a democratic course, extreme political parties from both the right and the left struggled violently for control. The new regime could neither handle the depressed economy nor the rampant lawlessness and disorder.

Gus, you said you don't know where Nagorno-Karabach was, does it mean you don't give a hoot about Armenians, anyway?

Fifty-seven people, mostly women and children, were burned alive when a trainload of Hindu activists was torched by a suspected Muslim mob in western India Wednesday, authorities said.

Hours after the morning attack in Godhra, police were still pulling charred bodies burned beyond recognition out of the blackened carriage of the Sabarmati Express in Gujarat state.
