Mazarin died March 9, 1661. On March 10, Louis claimed supreme authority in France. Not since Henry IV had such a claim been made. Louis saw himself as God's representative on earth, therefore, infallible. He oversaw roadbuilding, court decorum, defense, and disputes within the church. He had the support initially ...

... to triumph overall, by leaving his positive impact on society. In the early years, King came from a family in the tradition of the Southern black ministry.

... anyone, mostly because his parents were Libertarians and never paid attention to the politics in Germany's heartland. In college, Hitler's ideas and notions had a strong impact on Roehm's personality. Though Roehm never graduated, he joined the Free Corps, a group of soldiers dedicated to changing injustices in the German government. After a while, Roehm started to grow tired of the Free Corp's non- violent style, and he was tempted to be more of an activist in government reform. Hitler, looking to recruit fellow officers in his plan, then in it's infancy, liked Roehm's strong presence and personality. Roehm, jo ...

Gandhi practiced protesting, fasting, and the boycotting of British goods. To accomplish the last he made his own clothes that were simple and made from hand-woven wool. The spinning wheel was one of the symbols used in his fight for India. Gandhi gave new life to the old idea of nationalism indeed. He hel ...
