George Orwell
... commentary, designed to counter German and Japanese propaganda in India. His wartime work for the BBC gave him a solid taste of bureaucratic hypocrisy. Many believe that this experience provided the inspiration for his invention of "newspeak," the truth-denying language of Big Brother's rule in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Throughout his lifetime, the great English author continually questioned all "official" or "accepted" versions of history.
At the conclusion of the war in Europe, Orwell made the following comment in his book Notes on Nationalism, "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tel ...

Saddam, Iraq, And The Gulf War

society
created the Civil War. The need to bring down an aggressive nation
took
the United States into the Korean War. And territorial disputes lay
behind
the Mexican-American and American Indian Wars. Like most countries,
the
United States, at different periods, has been victimized by the dark

Though reasons (or excuses) the American people have been given
to the
American people to justify military action were given before most
of our

Comparison Of Trade Rivalries
... British colonies. Fourth, British trade was hurt by
the conservatism of British manufacturers who were unwilling to
develop new markets or hold onto those it already possessed. These
four factors are just some of the factors that helped German industry
grow and rival that of Great Britain.
These four factors are all very similar to the Japan-U.S.
trade rivalry. Japan like Germany was able to catch up to the U.S.
because the U.S. was large and arrogant and refused to believe it
could face competition from Japan. Like Britain, U.S. industry
believed that they could hold onto markets a ...

The Spread Of Christianity
... was not to start churches, but to encourage the existing churches to have strong faith in Christ. The young Timothy, another Christianity follower, joined Paul and Silas in Lystra. The Apostles journeyed to Macedonia, and in the city of Philippi, Paul and Silas were imprisoned.
On Paul's third missionary journey, the apostle traveled to Ephesus and holds a revival at the church. In Ephesus, Paul preached to the people about the Holy Spirit. He also went to Macedonia to visit the troubled church in Corinth. This church had a problem about turning away from God. He stayed there for three months preaching and t ...

Germany lacked faith in democracy. The reason being was the corruption and mismanagement, which characterised the Weimar Republic (inflation). The Democrats were reasonable and well-meaning men, representing the inflation impoverished middle class and business. They relied on chronic credit inflation (which put them more and more into debt.
The Germans were also upset by the loss of World War 1, but the thing that made them the maddest, is the punishment enforced on them as a result of the Treaty of Versailles. Such as redistribution of territory, reduction of Germany's fighting power and imposition ...

... of the Enlightenment and the
French Revolution.
Conservatism is a philosophy that doesn't want change that would
threaten that way of life. It supports the traditional political and social
order. Conservatives didn't want nationalism because they thought that it would
overthrow the traditional political order.
The role of Nationalism is that during the Nineteenth century it had
begun the urge to form a nation. Liberalism supported nationalism at that time
because it united people in a common cause. On the other hand, Conservatives
feared nationalism because of its threat to overthrow the traditional political

Reconstruction
... manpower would be absolutely necessary to win the war. Also, the increasingly upset Radical Republicans and abolitionists let their opinions be known and persuaded the citizens of the North that the war could not be won without attacking the issue of slavery. Finally, Lincoln believed that transforming the dispute from a conflict to preserve the Union to a crusade against slavery would dissuade the threatening British and French from supporting the Confederacy. With its new stated purpose, the Civil War would now have huge societal repercussions.
The largest and most complex issue of was how to go about admitti ...

Before 1640, Parliament Was No
... not contain opposition and was not powerful has many followers with many of the recent historians, such as Loades, Sharpe and Russell. Their argument stands on shaky ground. The three reigns prior to the Civil war (greatest power struggle of all time) were littered with Parliamentary opposition and power struggle.
The more viable Whig argument states that Parliament was indeed powerful and contained vast opposition against the Crown. With two contradicting ideals, Elizabeth and her prerogatives over the "matters of state" (religion, foreign policy, marriage, succession and finance) in which Parliament couldn't dis ...

Japan: After World War II
... The Japanese people had to live in the
damp, and cold of the concrete buildings, because they were the only ones
left. Little remained of the vulnerable wooden frame, tile roof dwelling

occupation forces immediately took over all the steam-heated buildings. The
Japanese were out in the cold in the first post war winter fuel was very
hard to find, a family was considered lucky if they had a small barely
glowing charcoal brazier to huddle around. That next summer in random
spots new ho uses were built, each house was standardized at 216 square

Israeli Palestinian Conflict
... religious Jews who thought they could best practice
their faith in the Land of Zion. Some went primarily to pray, to study their
religious books, and to await the arrival of the Messiah. Politics played a
influential role in their thinking. By the beginning of the 20th century,
however, Zionism came to have a political meaning: that Jews were not just a
religious or ethnic group but were a nation of people who should have their own
state. Today Zionism is the term for Jewish nationalism.
Not all Jews agree upon what Zionism is, but to a point there is
agreement, it is upon three things: there should be ...
