... BC by the leaders of the populares, his Uncle Marius and Cinna. Cinna was killed the year that Caesar had married Cinna’s daughter Cornelia. The second attack upon the city was carried out by Marius’ enemy Sulla, leader of the optimates, in 82 BC on Sulla’s return from the East. The confiscation of property resulted from the massacre of political opponents on each occasion. At the time of Caesar’s birth, the number of patricians was small, and their status no longer provided political advantage. (Sahlman). Caesar’s family was part of Rome’s original aristocracy, although they ...

... blast that he had time to run and hide in-between two rocks. He was unharmed and ran into the street not knowing what was going on. The first thing he saw was that all the house's around him where fallen down and the soldiers that were supposed to be safe in the trenches were badly injured and dying. He didn't know what to do so he started to run along the outskirts of the city trying to stay away from the ever-growing fire. As he ran he saw burned bodies and people buried under houses that were on fire. He tried to help them but he could not because the flames were to hot. To me that would be one of the wors ...

... 1688, William of Orange, later to become William III, was asked to take the throne of England, there by starting the beginning of the revolution. So, now Parliament and William of Orange and his wife Mary and the Catholic church help all the power in England, being the moderates of the revolution. Seeing, as how there were no radicals, there could be no accession of them, nor could there be a reign of terror. Convalescence was reached when Mary and William signed the Declaration of Power. Also, there was now a ruler again. According to Crane Brinton’s "Course That Revolutions Seem To Take", there is only ...

... outside of Eurasia (Hersh 345). Several explanations for his actions have been offered by historians. One factor in Khrushchev’s decision was a strategic one (Hersh 346). A year earlier, the United States had placed several medium-range nuclear missiles in Turkey ("Cuban 774). The missiles were just across the Black Sea from the Soviet Union, within sight of Khrushchev's summer home (Hersh 346). President Kennedy had earlier ignored his advisors and placed nuclear missiles in Turkey. Another factor was a threat by the US to one of the Soviet Union's satellite countries, Cuba (Hersh 346). The United States h ...

... warfare and transportation, to name a few. Although Temple wrote about eleven fields of invention, I feel that these three sections contain the greatest examples of Chinese innovation, and the debt that the modern world owes China. The first main area is the field of engineering. Within this chapter, the development of iron and steel is the greatest achievement. The development of iron and steel led to other advances. By at least the 4th century the Chinese have developed blast furnaces to obtain cast iron from iron ore. This was 1200 years before the first blast furnace showed up in Europe. T ...

... the Indians. The Indians were thought of as uncivilized, barbaric beings, but much to the immigrants' surprise, they were mostly wrong. There was a fair share of unfriendly indians, but the amiable indians helped inform these new travelers. They helped with medical treatment when someone would get an injury from a strange animal or plant of the new world. The indians also shared their knowledge of growing crops and tips for hunting game, which made life a lot easier for families. On the homefront, the whole family was expected to help. The men took care of the more laborious jobs. They went out hunting and fi ...

... It is clear through Henry V that Branagh thinks that wars are a waste of precious human life, and in the end are fruitless, causing more loss than gain. From the very first battle at Harfleur Branagh's low opinion of war is shown. When we first see the fighting, it is dusk and the sky is further darkened by smoke, instantly creating a morbid feeling. Combined with the muddy and wet terrain, the cheerless soldiers and the overbearing size of the castle which they hope to achieve, it is clear not only that the English army must fight against all the odds to win, but that even the conditions are detrimental to the ...

... reign very little seems to have rubbed off on the Chinese culture. The cultural interaction was not really a cultural exchange, for the situation was perhaps too unstable in the Mongol regime. To really understand the Mongol invasion and its effects on Chinese culture you must go to the beginning of this great Empire. Temujin, latter called Genghis Khan, was the son of a local Chieftain who had a small clan. His father was poisoned when he was still young and, the clan, for lack of an effective leader, abandoned Temujin, his mother, and several brothers and half brothers. This had an effect on him which, althoug ...

... disabled. Singled out as the primary target, the Jewish people suffered around 6 million deaths during the Holocaust, that being nearly 65% of European Jewry. However, they were not the only ones. Germans sought to really “cleanse� the human race. They targeted all the people who were somehow different from their “norms�. 5 million people other than Jews were killed during the Holocaust; these included homosexuals, gypsies, disabled, Jehova’s witnesses and Polish people, the list goes on and on. Asides from all the deaths, Nazis are famous for notorious experiments that they performed on †...
