Persian Influence On Greco-rom
....
Throughout history, each regime has changed the past to benefit itself. This is ongoing, and today, the West has reshaped history to better its own share. People now learn only of the great achievements of the Roman and Greek empires, but seldom does it occur that a student knows where the Assyrian empire was located and just how powerful the Mongols were at the height of their civilization. Most notably, the Persian Empire is one that has been neglected time after time. The Greek people were the on .....

Causes Of World War 1
.... be the most powerful. The need for raw materials and new markets Europe starts to take over land in Africa, China, India, and Middle East. The fight for obtaining the most land results in European countries fighting over who gets what land. Another factor was nationalism. Nationalism is the love for ones country and feeling your part of the country. It results in each country claiming that they are the best. The Arms Race is another contributing factor to the war.

First Crusade
.... Crusaders continued an older tradition of the pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Now, however, they assumed two roles as pilgrims and warriors. Such an armed pilgrimage was regarded as a justifiable war, because it was fought to recapture the places sacred to that of the Christians.
Jerusalem had been under Muslim rule since the 7th century, but pilgrimages were not cut off until the 11th century (when the Seljuk Turks began to interfere with Christian pilgrims). For Christians, the very name of Jer .....

Jack London(biography)
.... the Boy Socialist of Oakland for his street corner oratory, and would run unsuccessfully several times on the socialist ticket as mayor. Always a prolific reader, he consciously chose to become a writer as an escape from the horrific prospects of a life as a factory worker. He studied other writers and began to submit stories, jokes, and poems to various publications, mostly without success.

Articles Of Confederation 3
.... country that could support and defend itself and its people.

The Articles of Confederation provided effective management of expansion for the United States. It also gave Congress ample control over guidance of the country. However, The Articles were insufficient in several important matters. Without an executive branch the country lacked .....

Jacksonian Democracy

boom during the 1820s and early 30s. With Samuel Slater’s
introduction of the “Factory System”
to America, and Eli Whitney’s Cotton Gin, the United
States’ speed in manufacturing textiles
increased rapidly. In 1837, however, America experienced a
tremendous financial depression.
Bad land speculation, and the fall of the Federal Bank (due
to Jackson’s failure to recharter the
Bank in 1832) were the two main factors that caused the
financial crisi .....

Maifest Destiny

As history continued and continues we have and will use manifest destiny in order to do some absurd things that sounded reasonable at the time. There is no doubt that the United States will use manifest destiny once again as it once did; especially with space travel becoming more habitually and were not the only country doing it.

The Use Of Nuclear Power As A
.... to research and production that would produce an atomic bomb.
The first cause of using the nuclear power as an atomic power was that the Americans had believed that Japan would never surrender during the WW II. Japan had occupied the islands on the coast of Pacific and they were cruel to the people living there. As a result, some Americans thought that Japan had deserved to be taught a lesson.
Another cause for using the nuclear power, that the bomb costed $2 billion, so it would have been d .....

However, one custom that the slaves held in common was “humming.” Someone once said that “a roomful of people cannot speak together, but they can sing together.” “Humming tunes without specific lyrics became a shared experience as African instruments made from tree bark, cones, bones, etc., gave way to more Americanized instruments. For the f .....

Asia 2
.... World. Mountain ranges spiral out from the Pamirs to the west (Hindu Kush), and southeast (Great Himalayas). These ranges form an imposing eastern-western arc, about 2500 km (about 1550 mi) in length, that contains numerous peaks of heights well more than 6100 m (20,000 ft), including the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest.

December 7, 1941 was a day that changed the course of history and would plunge all Americans into war when a huge surprise attack was staged on the US Pacific Fleet by the Empire of Japan. Almost overnight the country was united in its stance against the countries of Germany and Japan. The government put huge amounts of money into the economy and Americans found it v .....

Assassination Of Malcolm X
.... "Being a farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they've always made me glad." This comment was enough to get Malcolm suspended for good.
Being suspended, he formed his own organization, the Organization of Afro American Unity. He began it to take away Elijah Muhammad's power and to bring Nation of Islam members into his new organization. With this tension rising between the two leaders, Malcolm X did an unexpected thing, he and a few others traveled to Africa and m .....

AMERICAN ADVANTAGES
.... Compared to the British, the American army was small, but their military tactics and skills were excellent. From a distance of 200 yards, an American rifleman could easily kill a British soldier. Many men observed that the British plainly fired in the general direction of the Americans, while the Americans aimed for the heads of the British. Also, the Americans had many more competent and talented leaders. George Washington and Benedict Arnold were two of the most brilliant American leaders. During t .....
