Schindlers List
Oscar Schindler was a Nazi in Germany. Unlike most Nazis he tried helping out the jews instead of killing them or leading them to a cause of death. He didnt go back on his word on being a Nazi but he found a way to stay a Nazi and not kill the Jews. Instead he took the in and made them work for him in his factories.
Every jew that worked for Oscar was safe from a most harm even tho some nazis would come in a shoot them but Oscar deffended each jew worker and made sure that this act of killing wasnt going to happen. If his workers were killed he would go to a nazi meeting and claim another worker for his that has died.
He na only saved the middle and oldder age he also saved the little childern. Everytime a Nazi would come to kill a worker or take them away Oscar always had a statement or somethign to say to make that worker irreplacable and as if they needed that worker only. Nazis did not like this but couldnt help but stay mad .
In the end the jew got liberatded and Oscar had to leave since the soviet union was out looking for him. People say that they did find him but the jews that he once protected outraged and saved him from death and court since he didnt hurt nobody. Oscar Schindler a hero to remember went and bended the rules to do wa he though was right.

Mustafa was a captain and first president of Turkey. He was born on the year 1881. In his life he was in them military and was known as a "military hero" in Dardanelles in the year of 1915. As the Ottoman empire colapsed he created the Turkish empire and got them settled as being there first president. In the Ottoman empire there was things he disliked and changed in his new formed nation.
One thing he didnt like was what they wore and he wanted to make people in turkey wear european clothes and instead of having the same hat that the muslims wore they wore european hats with grims on them. Turkey was created and established on 1923. He did his best to make his new nation as modern as he could. He was the president for 15 till his death on 1915.
He was not races in any sort and let any religon in but they had to obey his rules. His main concern was keeping his people and his land safe from any attack. Turkey was also anti imperialist so they didnt want to invaded and cause trouble for anyone. People see Mustafa as th3e father of Turkey because he was a good leader and there first prisdent just like how we see George Washington the father of our state .

Causes of WOLRD WAR 1
World War 1 in 1914 untill 1918 and it was with Germany and Austria Hungary started to rebel because of nationalisum. Nationalisum is when you have have strong feelings for ur nation and respect it and will do anything to make others believe it to. They tired to conqure russian and france territory in the war and make there nation bigger.
German and Austria went against France,Great britain ,Russia,Serbia for there quest to get more territory and show pride to there nation. But sadlly that all failed and they lost the war. Instead of gaining land they lost land. Austria Hungary lost the most and out of there land was converted into 3 other nations. But Germany and Austria spend a lot of money and lost so much land that in my oppion goin into that war was the worst thing they could have done.
Nations where formed like Czech Poland Ugoslavia and others. Russia lost some land to but not as much as Germany and specially not as much as Austria. People are true to there nations and are very nationalist about it. Evben though Germany lost and so did Austria they still are nationalist.
