World War 2
.... which means "Leader". By the end of the 30's he was already sending Jews
off too concentration camps to meet a horrible death.
I believe that Hitler was one of the greatest causes of World War 2.
Although there are many other reasons, he was definitely one of them. Another
reason was the Treaty of Versailles. This was the treaty that was signed at the
end of World War 1. This treaty outlined the rules that Germany must follow
because of their defeat by Britain and France. Many Germans were .....

Ancient Greece: A Time Of Great Cities And Lives
.... tanners and potters. It is no wonder
that Ancient Greece was in its time considered the beginning of the of a new era
that would be recognised as the centre of the worlds economy and was to be home
to more than twice as many shops and people than the city already held.
Although women in the world today are always talking about women and
their rights and how they deserve to be equal in everything that they do and
receive, it was not a problem to Greeks in their society which has been
described as a place .....

Why Rome Fell (a Condensed Version)
.... of the Decline and Fall, seemingly without
pattern, and seemingly unrelated to each other. This quote taken from the
seventh chapter of Jordan's Gibbon and his Roman Empire sum up my feelings
concerning the work; however, I will attempt to show some of Gibbon's Causes for
this decline.
Two of Gibbon's causes are the political blunders of its emperors and
their search for personal glory. These are especially obvious in his chapters
on Constantine. In them Gibbon accuses the emperor of destroyin .....

Who Was To Blame For The Cold War?
.... of serious Russian aggressions. The western
view of the time saw Stalin as doing one of two things: either continuing the
expansionist policies of the tsars that preceded him, or worse, spreading
communism across the world now that his “one-state” notion had been fulfilled.
It also must be mentioned that Stalin is seen as wanting “unchalleged personal
power and a rebuilt Russia strong enough to withstand ‘caplitalist
encirclement.'”1
Admittedly, the first view of Stalin, as an imperialist leade .....

The French Revolution
.... the king with his services. This all came to a gradual
stop, however beginning with the loss of the noble's power over their own land
at the hands of Louis XIV.1 This was the foundation of the revolte nobiliaire
in the fact that it formed a basis of mistrust, and anger for the monarch.2 In
that time the feudal system was still being practiced, so social status was
based on the amount of land you could attain. With no land, the nobles saw
themselves to be as common as the common folk. Even in their ar .....

The Suez Crisis Of 1956: The War From Differing Viewpoints
.... through Canada's idea of creating a UN peacekeeping
force to help enforce the ceasefire, was another important outcome.
This paper, however, will not have the goal of examining these specific
events in relation to the war, nor will it try to determine which factors were
most significant. My aim will be to gain a more complete understanding of the
effect of the crisis by reviewing key events of the war from two different
perspectives: the Israeli and the Arab points of view, plus the experiences of .....

The Yugoslavian Conflict
.... really be proper to say that Serbian, Croatian,
Slovenian, and Macedonian are the four major languages because some of the
languages are so similar they could be considered the same one. For example
Serbian and Croatian are so similar that government policy was to promote
through the educational system the idea of a single Serbo-Croatian language.
However both the Serbians and the Croatians challenged this idea and went
through great pains to identify vocabulary that would highlight the differences

The Gothic Age
.... a lot more from all of the tithes all of the people who were born
in the population explosion gave faithfully. Another even bigger source of
income for the Church came to it in the shape of power and prestige, when the
power of the church peaked in AD 1277.
Not only was this a good time for the Church, but this was also a very
good time for all of humanity. The standard of living dramatically rose, and
along with it, the population of Western Europe shot up. In 1346, the estimated
population of Europe .....

The Byzantine Empire

taxation causing an abandonment of land. From the beginning to the end of the
Byzantine empire, the church and the emperor had been the largest landholders,
therefore being the largest profiteers of Byzantine. (Encarta)
After the Roman empire fell in 476 AD, Byzantine conquered all. It took
over the space of southeastern Europe, southwestern Asia, and the northeast
corner of Africa. The present day countries in these areas inc .....

Ancient Greece
.... trade until
1500 BC when the Mycenaeans took control.
During the third millennium BC a series of invasions from the north
began. The most prominent of the early invaders, who were called the Achaeans,
had, in all probability, been forced to migrate by other invaders. They overran
southern Greece and established themselves on the Peloponnesus. Many other,
vaguely defined tribes, were assimilated in the Helladic culture.

Gradually, in the last period of Bronze Age Greece, the Mino .....

architecture and geometry. He developed a method of determining the
circumference of the Earth by using geometry. Developed by Archimedes, the
Archimedes Principle contributes greatly to the field of science. The principle
states that "a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal the weight
of the fluid displaced by the body."2 The Archimedes Principle influenced the
development of the boat and submarine. The Classical World also contributed to
the field of literature.

The Trojan War

war and the horse was a gift from the Greeks. Later that night, the Greeks
stormed from the horse and opened the gates to allow their fellow warriors in
and the Greeks conquered the City of Troy.
Ancient Greece was the birthplace of Western civilization about 2500
years ago. Greek civilization consisted mainly of small city-states. A city-
state consisted of a city or town and the surrounding villages and farmland.
The Greek city-states were independent and quarreled often w .....

The Assyrians
.... Political developments Brought this enterprise to an end in
1750 BC. Assyria lost its independence to a dynasty of Amorite. Then Hammurabi
of Babylon took over and established himself ruler of Assyria. The collapse of
Hammurabi's Old Babylonian dynasty gave Assyria only temporary relief. It soon
fell under the control of the Mitanni, until that state was destroyed by the
Hittites c.1350 BC.
The Early Neo-Assyrian Period (c.1200-600 BC)
After the collapse of Mittanni, Assyria regained its independ .....

The Rise Of The Manchus
.... preventing the absorption of the Manchus into the dominant Han Chinese
population. Han Chinese were prohibited from migrating into the Manchu homeland,
and Manchus were forbidden to engage in trade or manual labor. Intermarriage
between the two groups was forbidden. In many government positions a system of
dual appointments was used--the Chinese appointee was required to do the
substantive work and the Manchu to ensure Han loyalty to Qing rule.
The Qing regime was determined to protect itself not only .....
