Migration Of The Bantu People
.... adapted new methods to adjust to the new environments. The Bantu followed the Congo River through the rain forests. There they farmed the riverbanks, which was the only place suitable to support agriculture. As the Bantu moved eastward into savannas, they learned new techniques from herding goats and sheep to raising cattle.

World War 1: Forever Wounded
.... However, just as they were finishing their cooking, they were shelled. Paul and his friends decide they would rather risk their lives then leave the food. One by one they run to safety carrying their platters of food. Even when Paul is almost killed he doesn’t let go of his plate of pancakes.

Chernobyl
.... agreed to a further reduction in power. For this test the reactor was to be stabilized at 1,000 MW prior to shut down, however, due to operational error the power fell to about 30 MW where the positive void coefficient became a problem. The operators tried to raise the power by freeing all the control rods manually and at 01:00 hr. on April 26 the reactor stabilized at 200 MW. Within a short time, an increase in coolant flow and a drop in steam pressure required the operators to withdraw nearly .....

Hiroshima And Nagasaki Bombing
.... States was willing to use nuclear weapons at whatever expense to enemy forces, civilians, infrastructure, or, indeed, the global environment. Many issues have been unresolved and have created a debate on the proliferation and use of the nuclear arms as a result of this. Hiroshima marks a powerful psychological turning point in our attitude toward our own science and technology, because it not only exceeded all previous limits in destruction but had, in effect, declared that there were no limits to dest .....

Roman literature was also some of the greatest in history. It is often overlooked because it is compared only to Greek literature which the Romans tried to emulate. They did have their masterpieces though. The Ænid is arguably the greatist books in history. It is all to often thrown out as erotic garbage from two thousand yers ago, when in actuality it competes on the .....

Reason's For Japan's Aggression
.... for their needs. Instead of taking an honorable road, Japan rashly used unnecessary force to steal the resources of China and other nations. A second incentive for Japanese aggression is the mentality of the Japanese people, passed down from their ancestors. The Japanese have believed themselves to be superior to all other races, and that all whites will eventually serve Japanese masters. This aura of superiority inspired the Japanese to take over its "inferior and barbaric" neighbors. Japanese anim .....

The Chernobyl Accident

Human error is what basically caused the disaster. (Medvedev 1) These operators of the fourth unit slowly allowed power in the reactor to fall to low levels as part of a controlled experiment gone wrong. The purpose of the test w .....

Was The French Revolution Preventable?
