George Stephenson created the steam locomotives in 1814. Steam locomotives helped move people’s goods & resources around cities, quickly. Before this, multiple goods would take a lot of time to get transported from place to place. Britain wanted spread this concept in Europe for trade. Other countries later adopted this idea.
Spinning Jenny: The “Spinning Jenny” was created in 1764 by James Hargreaves. It helped produce more thread than one person could manually. Thread was produced quicker but was not very strong. 20,000 machines were used in Britain.
The steamboat was created by Robert Fulton. He used the power he got from James Watt’s steam engine invention to create this invention. It helped transport things around Britain much quicker than before. It was expensive to build but steadier and replaced wooden boats. This invention was created in 1807

Lusitania
The Lusitania came from NY on its way to Liverpool on May , 1 , 1915. Germans were going on a search for British ships and cargo to destroy them. German U- Boats had just destroyed British ships that were passing before the Lusitania. On May 7, the captain of the Lusitania , William Turner had to enter a foggy section of the passage. He tried to stay away from where the U-Boats are located and was caught by U-20 commanded by Kapitänleutnant Walther Schwieger. He shot a torpedo at it and sunk it within 18 min. 123 people of the 1,195 killed were Americans. This unrestricted submarine warfare was the reason of America joining WW1.
The Treaty of Versailles was signed on May 7th, 1919 by Germany. Germany was blamed for the whole war.

STAR OF DAVID BADGE:
Jews being legally forced to wear the Star Of David was a practice since the 13th century. This practice was later adopted by the Nazis in 1941 to identify the Jews. They started in Germany then spread to other countries controlled by Germany. In every country it was different. Some countries had different translations of the word Jew, some had different color stars, and some had armbands but they all mean the same thing. In Germany, the badge was Yellow with the word “Jude” on it which translates to Jew.
Classification System: In 1938, Jews were only forced to wear their uniforms with gold stars on them but that changed in 1939. In 1938 they were forced to wear uniforms with a colored triangle on it so back soldiers knew where the prisoner was supposed to be located at and what group they were affiliated with.
NAZI Statement: ( Primary Source : Rudolf Franz Ferdinad HOESS : he admits to bring a part of the holocaust. He stated that he was appointed Commandant of Auschwhitz. He was ordered to create extermination facilities in Auschuwitz in June 1941. He went to other concentration camps to learn how to kill the Jews in massive amounts. 3,000,000 died in Auschuwitz.)
