would cause Germany to go into a nation-wide depression and suffer for a
whole generation. This treaty became known as the Treaty of Versailles.

The History Of The Peace In Rome, The Pax Romana
.... We
figured out that if we mixed lime mortar, pour it into a wooden mold, and
then wait for it to dry then we would have a substance that was as hard as
stone. This was a new age for us because the concrete formed the backbone
of Rome's bold architecture. This material was then covered with a costly
material, usually marble, to look more decorative. This was used around

The Punic Wars 264 BC -- 146 BC
.... the attack
on them from Carthage.
This war was fought mainly at sea, around Sicily. Carthage was more
superior in this field of fighting. This is because they had fought at sea
before and the Romans did not. Also the Romans did not have a navy. When
the Romans finally started a navy, this reflected in their fighting. For
many years the Carthaginian people were more successful. This is because
they were under the power of Hamilcar. On March 10, 241 BC this would all
change, at the battle of Aegates Isl .....

Canada In WWI
.... the war effort, as well as keeping Canada's
economy running. Resource industries in Canada also expanded and Canada's
marketplace began to grow.
During the war, demands for Canadian goods went up in Europe and in
Canada. Increased demand caused inflation on products in Canada to
skyrocket, as prices on most products nearly doubled. The workers wages
went up as well, but they didn't keep up with the inflationary prices.
Workers therefore had to do with less. During this time the government
expenditures .....

Why Did Rome Fall?
.... city grew to a huge empire.
Somehow, this small-time system of management lasted for 600 years. It's
obvious ill suitedness showed through though, when Rome's once strong rigid
links began to jingle. When Rome began to crumble, its army went first.

feeling of weakness about Rome.
The economy of Rome was not perfect either. Though the taxes were
heavy, th .....

situation I think it would be hard for me to forgive the Germans, but it
would be harder to forget all the pain and suffering they went through.
Many soldiers would write home and tell .....
