German revolution of 1918–1919

The **German Revolution (1918–1919)** was a political and social uprising that led to the end of the German Empire and the beginning of the Weimar Republic.

## Causes

The German Revolution had many causes. For example, by 1918, Germany was losing World War I. People were exhausted, hungry, and angry.

There was also an ongoing economic crisis. Food shortages, inflation, and unemployment created mass dissatisfaction.

Additionally, many Germans disliked their country's authoritarian rule. The Kaiser and military leaders held most of the power, with limited democracy.

Finally, the Russian Revolution (1917) inspired German workers and soldiers to demand similar socialist reforms.

## Main events

In October 1918, German sailors mutinied at Kiel. They refused to fight a final, hopeless battle. This triggered widespread rebellion. By the next month, Soviet-style Workers' and Soldiers' Councils had formed across Germany, demanding change.

On 9 November 1918, Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated, giving up the position of King. He fled to the Netherlands. This officially ended the monarchy.

The following day, Friedrich Ebert became Chancellor. Ebert was a leader of the Social Democratic Party who had tried to stabilize Germany.

On 11 November 1918, an armistice was signed. This officially ended World War I for Germany.

However, this did not end the uprisings. In 1919, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht led a communist uprising called the Spartacist Uprising. (It failed.)

William Hobson

Captain **William Hobson** (26 September 1792 – 10 September 1842) was an Anglo-Irish officer in the British Royal Navy, who served as the first Governor of New Zealand. He was a co-author of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Hobson was dispatched from London in July 1839, with instructions to take the constitutional steps needed to establish a British colony in New Zealand. He was sworn in as Lieutenant-Governor in Sydney (under George Gipps) and arrived in New Zealand on 29 January 1840.

On 5 February 1840, Hobson met with Māori chiefs at Waitangi, and the following morning they signed a treaty by which the chiefs purportedly voluntarily transferred sovereignty to the British Crown in return for guarantees respecting their lands and possessions and their rights as British subjects. Three months later, Hobson proclaimed British sovereignty over the islands of New Zealand. He also selected the site for a new capital, which he named Auckland.

He was born in Waterford, Kingdom of Ireland, the son of Samuel Hobson, a barrister and Martha Jones. He grew up in an Anglo-Irish Anglican family. He attended a (barely) private school, but despite this disadvantage he joined the Royal Navy on 25 August 1803 as a second-class volunteer. He served in the Napoleonic Wars and was later involved in the suppression of piracy in the Caribbean. He became a midshipman in 1806 and some seven years later was a first lieutenant.

Omar Abdullah

**Omar Abdullah** (born 10 March 1970) is an Indian politician and the current chief minister of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. He previously served as the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir from 2009 to 2014. Since 2009, he has been the vice president of the Jammu & Kashmir National Conference and was also its president in the past. Abdullah was a member of parliament in the Lok Sabha from 1998 to 2009, representing Srinagar, and also worked as a union minister of State for External Affairs.

Omar Abdullah, son of former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah, entered politics in 1998 when he was elected as the youngest member of the Lok Sabha. He repeated this achievement in the next three elections. He served as the union Minister of State for External Affairs in Atal Bihari Vajpayee's NDA government from 23 July 2001 to 23 December 2002. In October 2002, he resigned from the NDA government to focus on party work and became more involved in state politics. However, his party lost in the 2002 state elections. Later, in the 2008 state elections, he and his party secured victory.

He became the youngest and 11th chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir after forming a government with the Indian National Congress on 5 January 2009. He stayed in that role until 2015 but lost in the 2014 state elections. Before Jammu and Kashmir became a union territory, he was the last leader of opposition in the state's Legislative Assembly, serving as an MLA from Beerwah constituency. The assembly was dissolved in 2018, and on 6 August 2019, the state officially became a union territory after Article 370 was revoked—a move Abdullah strongly opposed.

After being arrested and kept in custody in 2020, Abdullah came back to politics. He first tried to win a seat in the 2024 Indian general election but lost. At first, he did not want to run for a seat, but later, in the 2024 union territory elections, he was elected as an MLA. He became the first chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, working with the INDIA bloc. He started his role in October 2024.

The Great Escape (album by Ilse DeLange)

***The Great Escape*** is the sixth album by Ilse DeLange. This album has already been awarded double platinum.

For this album, DeLange went to the United States for a while, where the album was recorded at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles.

Until then, DeLange had only scored album hits, but that changed after this album. _The great escape_, _The lonely one_ and _I love you_ reached the Dutch Top 40. The album itself entered the Album Top 100 at number 1, remained there for seven weeks and was in the album chart for a total of 89 weeks.

In the annual list of best-selling albums of 2006_, The Great Escape_ was ranked number 5.

Here I am 1998-2003

***Here I Am 1998-2003*** is the fifth album by Ilse DeLange, this album was released in the same year as her album _Clean Up,_ namely in 2003. It was a compilation album with her biggest hits up to that point.

It is known that DeLange signed a contract with her former record label Warner Music for 5 albums. At the end of 2003, this compilation album was suddenly released, while the previous (fourth) album _Clean Up_ had not even been out for half a year. When the Dutch division of Warner Music was closed down in early 2004, rumors circulated that this was the reason why a DeLange compilation album was suddenly released. Apparently, there was no time left to record a completely new album, which is why a compilation album was chosen. However, this has never been confirmed by Warner Music or by DeLange.

The album (which achieved gold status) includes the hits _I'm Not So Tough_, _Livin' On Love_ and _Shine_, a duet with Rosemary's Sons. The album also features her biggest hit to date_, Before You Let Me Go_, a duet with the band Kane.

In the Album Top 100, the album reached number 5 and was listed for a total of 30 weeks.

The J. Geils Band

**The J. Geils Band** (formerly known as **The J. Geils Blues Band**) was an American rock band formed in 1967, in Worcester, Massachusetts, under the leadership of guitarist John "J." Geils. The original band members included vocalist Peter Wolf, harmonica and saxophone player Richard "Magic Dick" Salwitz, drummer Stephen Bladd, vocalist/keyboardist Seth Justman, and bassist Danny Klein. Wolf and Justman served as principal songwriters. The band played R&B-influenced blues rock during the 1970s and soon achieved commercial success before moving toward a more mainstream radio-friendly sound in the early 1980s, which brought the band to its commercial peak. They performed a mix of cover songs of classic blues and R&B songs, along with original compositions written primarily by Wolf and Justman, as well as some group compositions written under the pseudonymous name Juke Joint Jimmy, representing compositions credited to the entire band as a whole. After Wolf left the band in 1983 to pursue a solo career, the band released one more album in 1984 with Justman on lead vocals, before breaking up in 1985. Beginning in 1999, the band had several reunions until the death of its namesake, J. Geils, on April 11, 2017.

Roc Project

**The Roc Project** is an American electronica act, composed of the New York City-based DJ Ray Roc and, most often, the vocalist Tina Novak. Their debut single, "Never (Past Tense)" was released in 2003. However, because of difficulty getting the song released due to Novak and Roc being signed to different record labels, Ray Roc decided to recruit the Australian singer Tina Arena to sing Novak's vocals instead. Arena's version of "Never (Past Tense)" was therefore the single release. It became a major club and dance radio hit in America, and even managed to peak at No. 97 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also reached No. 42 in the UK Singles Chart in April 2003.

The Roc Project's first album was released in early 2003 and, with the record label issues finally cleared up, Novak appeared as the vocalist on all tracks, although the album also included the version of "Never (Past Tense)" with Arena's vocals. The group's second single, "Deja Vu", was released in the spring of 2004, and became a smaller club and dance hit than their debut single.
