In an event from June 30-July 2, 1934, known as [BLANK-1], Adolf Hitler used the Gestapo and the SS (Schutzstaffel) to round up and execute many members of the SA, Hitler’s earliest and fiercest supporters. The purpose of this purge was to eliminate any Nazi Party members who would have any legitimacy in terms of challenging Hitler for authority of the party and to test the absolute loyalty of the SS (which was personally loyal to Hitler himself). It served to further legitimize Hitler’s political authority in Germany and it increased the military’s loyalty toward him.

During the French Revolution, new revolutionary symbols were adopted in order to legitimize the new regime. One of the most prominent and long lasting was [BLANK-1], a female embodiment of liberty and the republic. This “lady liberty” was featured in many revolutionary-era paintings and reinforced the idea that women were central to the success of the republic.

Originating in large part from Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s dictatorial measures, [BLANK-1] pitted the Reds (Bolsheviks) against the Whites (a disparate and loosely-united group who opposed socialist, soviet control). Despite more than a dozen countries (such as the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, France, and others) joining the Whites in this conflict due to their fears of a socialist country, the Reds emerged victorious. Several factors led to the Red victory such as having the superior army, controlling the center of the country, the use of war communism, and the loose alliance binding the Whites together. The Reds used the Red Terror and the Cheka to keep order and maintain control of the country during this conflict, and more than 250,000 people were executed as class enemies during this period. The Soviet Union would harbor longstanding resentment against the capitalistic democracies who joined the Whites and fought against the Reds in this affair

National governments played a key role in supporting industrialization, especially in continental Europe. In German states a customs union known as [BLANK-1] developed in 1834. This customs union allowed goods to move between member states without tariffs, while it erected a single uniform tariff against other nations. Austria’s unwillingness to join this customs union ensured that it would develop along different political lines than other German-speaking states.

Anti-fascist governments sprang up across Europe following WWII. Germany, particularly, was quick to distance itself from its Nazi past. German Chancellor [BLANK-1] ran the country from 1969-1974 and admitted Germany’s responsibility for WWII. Instead of distancing himself from the culpability of the war and the humanitarian crises associated with it, he dedicated much of his administration to memorializing Holocaust victims.
