The major contributions that developed the music and art aspect of America was jazz in the 1920s, which used irregular tempo and rhythms and combined African American music with European traditions, and in 1913 The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky which broke with traditional views of music by having different musical instruments play in different keys simultaneously. Architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Walter Gropius emphasized functionalism, both encouraging buildings that supported movement and facilitated the intended use. In Art, expressionism became extremely popular in the form of bold colors and distorted forms, Pablo Picasso was a huge advocate of this style of painting. | | '''5.

| − | '''H6. Was Joseph Stalin the most evil dictator in world history until now? Your view, please.''' No, I think Hitler was the most evil dictator in the world. He killed aprox. 25 million, whereas Stalin killed aprox. 20 million. Hitler took over and conquered much more land then Stalin, and it was Hitler that created the brutal concentration camps that butchered millions of lives ruthlessly. Stalin starved millions of people by taking away farms and such, but Hitler used much more brutal ways of exterminating anyone that he did not see fit to live. | + | '''H6.
