Europe experienced numerous geographic changes during the 20th century. Major events such as World War I, World War II, and the Cold War produced enough upheaval to eliminate powerful empires and create new nations while dividing others. For this task, you will document the geographic changes that occurred in the 20th century to a present-day European country of your choice. Select one of the three nations listed below, and recall how its current borders came to be by reviewing its history:

Germany
Czech Republic
Croatia
Recall what you have learned about the history of Europe during the 20th century, and gather material online about the country you chose.

Then, in two to three paragraphs, explain how the events of the 20th century led to geographic changes in the country.

Be sure to explain what was happening to the country as a result of World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Keep in mind that the country may not have existed at a particular time in the 20th century. If this is the case, explain what was happening at that time in the area where the present-day country is located.
Elaborate on how and why these major historical events changed the country.

from thales, who is often considered the first western philosopher, to the stoics and skeptics, ancient greek philosophy opened the doors to a particular way of thinking that provided the roots for the western intellectual tradition. here, there is often an explicit preference for the life of reason and rational thought. we find proto-scientific explanations of the natural world in the milesian thinkers, and we hear democritus posit atoms—indivisible and invisible units—as the basic stuff of all matter. with socrates comes a sustained inquiry into ethical matters—an orientation towards human living and the best life for human beings. with plato comes one of the most creative and flexible ways of doing philosophy, which some have since attempted to imitate by writing philosophical dialogues covering topics still of interest today in ethics, political thought, metaphysics, and epistemology. plato’s student, aristotle, was one of the most prolific of ancient authors. he wrote treatises on each of these topics, as well as on the investigation of the natural world, including the composition of animals. the hellenists—epicurus, the cynics, the stoics, and the skeptics—developed schools or movements devoted to distinct philosophical lifestyles, each with reason at its foundation.

with this preference for reason came a critique of traditional ways of living, believing, and thinking, which sometimes caused political trouble for the philosophers themselves. xenophanes directly challenged the traditional anthropomorphic depiction of the gods, and socrates was put to death for allegedly inventing new gods and not believing in the gods mandated by the city of athens. after the fall of alexander the great, and because of aristotle’s ties with alexander and his court, aristotle escaped the same fate as socrates by fleeing athens. epicurus, like xenophanes, claimed that the mass of people is impious, since the people conceive of the gods as little more than superhumans, even though human characteristics cannot appropriately be ascribed to the gods. in short, not only did ancient greek philosophy pave the way for the western intellectual tradition, including modern science, but it also shook cultural foundations in its own time.
