...Demilitarization limited the German army to 100,000 men , loss of overseas colonies and parts of Germany that favoured industrial activities. All of these points utterly destroyed Germany. The demilitarization meant a huge increase in unemployment, the loss of land and colonies meant less goods, less people, and the gargantuan debt which could not be payed, this all lead to hyperinflation. Germany was unable to pay the enormous debt, and Germany already had a large amount of debt thanks to Kaiser Wilhelm 2 (war bonds) Because of this Germany began printing money, this decreased the value and caused a massive inflation. Before the war July 1914 Germanys currency was 4 marks to the us dollar after 1918 July it was 40, the next year double, the year after that 500, the year after 350,000 by November 1923 it was 4,000,000,000,000 marks to the dollar. Money was all but worthless, people no longer wanted or used it, instead using possessions such as baskets which worked as a sort of trade or exchange. Many people who had money in the bank became broke almost instantly. People were starving they had no money to cloth themselves. The world of Germany had become a living hell for the people and those who suffer seek leaders. A man by the name of Robert Lansing said “ the terms of peace appear immeasurably harsh and humiliating, while many of them seem to be impossible of performance” Germany suffered and...

...government benefit women and young people in Germany between 1918 and 1945? Historians can agree to a certain extent that changes in government had advantages and disadvantages for women and young people in many different ways. The war had just ended in 1918, causing a lot of damage. This resulted in weak government as Germany was blamed for the war in which they had to sign the Treaty of Versailles causing decrease in money and low public morale. From Weimar republic to Nazi Germany there were many changes that government made which benefited women and young people. Weimar Republic was a democratic government formed after Germany's defeat in World War I, the Weimar Republic lasted from 1918 until 1933. It was named after Weimar, the city where the constitutional assembly took place. Life in Germany was positive for some women. Women during this time period in Weimar Germany had freedom and were even offered jobs that were considered ‘masculine’ for example teachers, doctors, lawyers, judges and even politicians. The reasons why women were given opportunities to work in powerful roles was because of changes in government policy during the war when men were drafted for war. In Germany, women were entitled to vote from the age of 20. In contrast, during this time period it was a rarity for women to have the right to vote in European countries. During this time period very few women were entitled to vote in European countries. However, in Germany women were entitled to vote from the age...

...1. What does the correlation analysis study do? Explain with a numerical example. Deadline Tuesday 8pm. Answer: 1. Correlation Analysis Study gives us a medium for detecting and measuring the relationship between two variables. For instance: The table below shows the quantity of petrol consumed by each Salesman of a reputable pharmaceutical company along with the number of cartons (quantity) sold. 2. An independent variable is one that can be manipulated. In the equation y=f(x), y is considered as the dependent variable and x as the independent variable. For example; Resumption time at Work will be an independent variable where Volume of Traffic will be the dependent variable. In the example below Quantity Sold is the independent variable while Petrol consumed is the dependent variable. NDX | Salesman | Petrol Consumed (Litres) | Quantity Sold | 01 | A. J. Johnson | 50 | 200 | 02 | Peter Brown | 60 | 215 | 03 | T. Williams | 20 | 100 | 04 | S. Paulson | 60 | 250 | 05 | K. Okocha | 100 | 50 | 06 | T. Badoo | 25 | 120 | 07 | S. A. Brown | 7 | 30 | 08 | Saka Jojo | 60 | 300 | 09 | F. Dunka | 40 | 280 | 10 | K. Court | 50 | 280 | A direct observation of the data above shows a relationship between the petrol consumed by these salesmen and the quantity of products sold i.e. the more petrol used the higher the number of products sold. This may be generalistic though but it will be observed that some aberrations may be present for instance while K. Okocha consumed...

...RAM AM (random access memory) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer's processor. RAM is much faster to read from and write to than the other kinds of storage in a computer, the hard disk, floppy disk, and CD-ROM. However, the data in RAM stays there only as long as your computer is running. When you turn the computer off, RAM loses its data.

...Inflation rate The overall general upward price movement of goods and services in an economy (often caused by a increase in the supply of money), usually as measured by the Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index. Over time, as the cost of goods and services increase, the value of a dollar is going to fall because a person won't be able to purchase as much with that dollar as he/she previously could. While the annual rate of inflation has fluctuated greatly over the last half century, ranging from nearly zero inflation to 23% inflation, the Fed actively tries to maintain a specific rate of inflation, which is usually 2-3% but can vary depending on circumstances.
