This Week In History!
This is an old newspaper article that alerted the world that the United States was developing a new weapon of epic proportion that up until then was kept secret. The time was World War II. America and the Allied Forces were in a war with the Axis. As the war escalated the weapon technology escalated. Soon Germany was developing a weapon of atomic proportion. America needed to counter, however the plan was halted when his colonel Clause Von Stauffenberg, murdered the Fuhrer of Germany, Adolf Hitler. Imagine if America decided to unleash the weapon they created.

Possibly the cruelest leader to walk the earth, Adolf Hitler was murdered on the 20 of July in 1944. Which not only had a major impact on Germany, but America also. Hitler was the leader of the Axis, the anti‐ Allied Forces. He was responsible for the terror that is the holocaust. He also is responsible for the nuclear arms race even that was halted the moment he was murdered. Hitler’s officer Clause Von Stauffenberg led the resistance; he detonated a bomb in a bomb shelter where Hitler was supposed to have a meeting, killing him instantly. This led cutting the holocaust short and Clause overpowering the rest of the Hitler officials to become the new Fuhrer and bring Germany back to prominence. A treaty between Germany and the Allied Forces after Hitler’s assassination that halted the development of nuclear arms, and ended World War II. Therefore you could say Clause Von Stauffenberg killed the atomic bomb along with Hitler.

This is the man known simply is Germany’s Santa Claus. His name is Clause Von Stauffenberg, the man who killed Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944. He is the man who changed history of warfare. If Clause didn’t kill Hitler, America might have dropped their atomic bomb and started the atomic age, because intelligence had gotten to Germany that the United States had already finished their bombs. However, Stauffenberg removed the catalyst of the war, If it weren’t for him the Holocaust would have continued, the atomic age would have begun, and who knows where America and the rest of the world would be. This is surely a milestone in American and world history. Praise to “Santa” Clause Von Stauffenberg.

NEWSWEEK’s PERSON OF THE YEAR: The United Nations
The person, or should we say persons of the year for Newsweek magazine is the United Nations. The UN is the official successor of the League of Nations, which had completely fallen apart during before World War II. The UN was formed at the end of World War II to help maintain world peace and avoid another World War. The UN also serves as a lawmaking body for the world. This year they passed a law that once again stopped the nuclear bomb from being finished. The question arises. What makes the UN so successful? This all dates back to the end of World War II. The UN arranged the treaty between the most powerful countries of the war, the United States and Germany. Clause Von Stauffenberg, the man who killed Hitler had proposed the treaty. Although the UN ratified much of the original treaty they managed to keep something that changed the course of history, and helped the UN get closer to the purpose of the organization. The UN kept the request that both the Germans and America destroy all nuclear weapon technology immediately. This eliminated any chance of a nuclear war. Now that we know how dangerous atomic particles are and nuclear technology is, we must acknowledge Clause and the UN for making world peace a much easier goal to reach by eliminating the weapon that possibly could have started World War III in the wrong hands.
