The HPCMS Chronicle

 By:  Malaya Sylvia Pace Allies & Axis Powers During the 1930s, a new leader in Germany came to power named Adolf Hitler. Hitler had blamed the Jewish people for the loss of Germany in WWI and was sending them into concentration camps that would kill or gas Jewish people upon arrival. Seeing this happen, some countries decided to stop Germany by declaring war on them. Later on, the United States would declare war on Germany along with the Soviet Union who would change sides after Germany had tried to invade them.  On the Axis side, Germany, Soviet Union (USSR) Italy & Japan.  Concentration Camps Not many people survived the concentration camps.

Which book can progress and make a sustaining and thriving society.  As well as discovering the pros and cons of the 2 ideologies. Let's start with Karl Marx and where did he write his book?

Kirkcaldy is a town and former royal burgh in Fife, on the east coast of Scotland. Just an introduction to where our competitors lived. Wait a minute… A country seems to have used one of the books and I think we all know who it ...
