Each of these announced the type of extremist, xenophobic policies that the Japanese and the Germans would be using against their enemies in WWII.
11. Total war was a new type of warfare that was introduced in WWII and that relied on the idea that there could be no limits to the way war was carried out. This included, for example, attacks on the civil population and acts such as massive bombardments of cities. Further more, total war also relied on a full connectivity between all parts of the army: infantry, air force etc. In order to obtain a full surprise effect.
12. The firs phase of the war was a defensive phase, with the UK and Russia (in Europe) and U.S. In the Pacific trying to fight back the German and Japanese aggressions. As soon as the level of forces changed, the Russians started pushing back the German invasion, with the U.S. fighting of the Japanese towards Japan itself. At this point, other fronts were opened in Europe with the invasion of the Italian Peninsula and the Normandy invasion, which meant that, at this point, Germany was virtually surrounded. The Russians played a crucial role in their resistance, not only because they gave hope that the Germans could eventually be defeated, but also because they were able to push them back all the way to Berlin.
13. The nature of bombing in WWII was in complete alignment with the total war concept. Cities were simply wiped out and this was the actual scope of the bombardment: impose terror on the civil population so that they would eventually ask for peace. There was no limit to how far this would go. London was bombarded for about a year in hope that the UK will pull out of the war, while Dresden was completely wiped out at the end of the war.
14. Germany occupied the Czech Republic, Poland, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, France, Holland, with countries like Romania, Hungary, Slovakia or Finland remaining independent, but with fascist governments that favoured German rule. With the invasion of the Soviet Union, Germany also occupied large areas such as Ukraine and Belarus. Italy occupied...

Moreover, it was also during his final years in Europe that he developed his ideas about muralismo (mural art) as public art which would focus on the Mexican people (Brenner 280).

Kahlo was in almost constant pain, due to a childhood bout with polio and a bus accident that nearly killed her as a teenager ("Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo," Eyeconart, 2009). Her marriage to Rivera, which ended in divorce, was also a frequent subject of her raw, unsparing works of art. This is unsurprising given Rivera's volatile personality and frequent infidelities. Kahlo's preferred subject matter was herself: she did not
Art, Picasso, Matisse, Diego Rivera Life had placed Picasso, Matisse and Rivera with three different starts. Of them, Picasso is the most renowned.

Frida Kahlo is quoted as saying, "I suffered two grave accidents in my life. One in which a streetcar knocked me down. The other accident is Diego," (cited by Botis 1).
