The Root Of Western Civilization
... religion, as well as all of Rome's culture.
Christianity was widely spread throughout the Roman Empire by groups of
missionaries led by the Apostles Peter, Paul and John. All of the people
who had previously practiced the Roman religion now would practice
Christianity. The expression, “Love thy neighbor” was a very essential
lesson for the Christians. It formed their bases of living (Fenton 34).

Bill Of Rights
... the summer of 1787 delegates from the twelve states convened in Philadelphia to draft a new Constitution. They proposed a strong national government that would assume many of the powers previously imposed upon the states. (1) “No sooner than had the Continental Congress laid the proposed Constitution before the people for ratification, ” Irving Brant writes, “than a cry went up: it contained no .”(2) People objected because the liberties they had fought for in the Revolution were not being protected by the Constitution, and then could be ignored by the federal government. The Anti-Federalist called for anothe ...

The Holocaust
... and water some inmates ate so
fast that or they were so hungry that they fell unconscious and eventually
died. To see so many humans starving and dying like that would just tear me
a part. We have so much to be thankful for, yet so many people take it for
granted.
The GI's would capture the Germans and some would let the prisoners
kill them. One man was about to kill the man who killed his wife and kid,
but he just couldn't do it. The Germans would run and try to hide in the
woods, but the prisoners would run after them and jump them. In the Bible
it says we need to forgive and forget just as God has forgiven ...

... meant that peasants now owned the meager parcels of land upon
which their survival rested. Their ruler, Czar Nicholas II, ruled of his
disorganized nation. His government of appointed officials and men of
inherited positions did not represent the people. All of Europe had
experienced the industrial revolution, Russia had precious little machinery.
To obtain more advanced machines, the government traded grains to other
countries in exchange for machinery, though it meant more people would now
starve. Compound this with the devastation and desperation brought on
shortly thereafter by the first world war, and the ...

Cuban Missile Crisis
... world that compromising and discussion can in-fact prevent war. The world had almost seen another world war, the effects of which would have been devastating because of the weapons involved. The Cuban Revolution was a background cause to the crisis. To the communist party in Cuba, Fidel Castro appeared tempestuous, irresponsible and stubbornly bourgeois. In 1943 President Batista appointed a communist to his Cabinet, as he used communists as leaders of the labor unions. Batista started to fail the Cuban communists and their loyalties transferred gradually to Castro, completely by 1958. Most Cubans idolized Castro, ...

The Rise And Fall Of Hitlers Reich
... of Austria. Hitler was
a good student. He took singing lessons and sang in the church choir. When he
hit an adolescent age, he began to rebel. When Hitler's dad acquired a top
ranking job in the military, he wanted his son to work hard so that he might
become a civil servant. Hitler wanted nothing of it. He wanted to become an
artist like he always dreamed.
One of the teachers in his high school classified young Hitler as "notorious,
cantankerous, willful, arrogant, and irascible. He has an obvious difficulty in
fitting in at school." He did well enough to get by in some of his courses but
had no time for ...

History Repeats Itself
... Between the fifteenth and the sixteenth
century, SPAIN ruled as a great power among other nations. Its empire began
when, in 1492, Spain financed Columbus's expeditions and explorations to conquer
territory in the New World. Once it held its new established territory, Spain
relied on the influx of gold and silver from the New World. Spain was the first
country to start an empire and consequently started a trend. Once HOLLAND
gained their independence from Spanish rule, at the beginning of the seventeenth
century, it moved on to become a great power. Holland had relied on seafaring
and the economic success of A ...

The Reign Of Terror
... system of revolution led people to believe that the Terror,
instead of being monstrous, was laudable. Under Robespierre and the
Jacobins, the number of executions rose every month (21 in September of
1793, 59 in October, 61 in November, 68 in December, 61 in January of 1794,
77 in February, and 121 in March); and the Paris prisons held 8,000
prospective victims. Opponents to the Terror held that the victims were no
longer the clergy or the aristocrats, but rather ordinary citizens accused
of hoarding, profiteering, or one of the various offenses included under
the Law of Suspects. In 1794 the dictatorship of the C ...

Colonial Woman
... 100 percent chance of finding a husband. Women outnumbered men almost six to one. Any woman could be choosy when finding a husband, for countless men tried to woo her into marriage. Because women could choose their husbands, they could marry those men who would give her the most benefits. A woman did not have to marry a man who would treat her poorly. In most New England colonies, a woman could sue her husband for a divorce if her treated her without respect and abused or neglected her. Although women had the legal privilege to divorce a bad husband, she did not have any legal rights under the law. As soon as she mar ...

... and began distributing
their lands (of which he invested heavily in). Jackson became the leader
of the distribution of Indian lands and distributed them in unequal
ways. In 1828 when Jackson was running for President his platform was
based upon Indian Removal, a popular issue which was working its way
through Congress in the form of a Bill. Jackson won a sweeping victory
and began to formulate his strategies which he would use in an "Indian
Removal campaign". In 1829, upon seeing that his beloved Bill was not
being enforced Jackson began dealing with the Indian tribes and offering
