- ... taken their messages to the Internet in order to gain support for their cause, and a small number of these organizations claim this fight as their only cause.

- ... could be created through switches. These switches were utilized with vacuum tubes. The functions could then be relayed as fast as electrons jumping between plates. This was all during the time of the Second World War and further advancements were made in the area of cryptology. Computer advancements were needed in order for the Allied Coding Center in London to decode encrypted Nazi messages. Speed was of the essence, so scientists ... several Cambridge professors accomplished the mammoth task. Once it was built, the computer could decode the encrypted messages in enough time to be of use, and was an important factor in the end of World War II. The war also provided advancements in the United States as well. The trajectory of artillery shells was a complex process that took alot of time to compute on the field. A new, more powerful computer was ...
- 3204: Cuban Missile Crisis 3
- The closest the world has come to nuclear war was the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. The Soviets had installed nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles off the coast of the United States.

The secret committee feared that if direct military confrontation occurred, it would escalate possibly into nuclear war, the end of human existence upon Earth. As you can see, unlike the majority of the members of EXCOMM, Kennedy took the well being of the planet into consideration before deciding to act.

- ... apart. Nationalism had once again replaced communism as the dominant force in the Balkans. Slovenia and then Croatia were the first to break away, but only at the cost of renewed conflict with Serbia. The war in Croatia led to hundreds of thousands of refugees in the 1940's.

- ... and conflict. Carneiro s theory defines a state as an autonomous political unit, encompassing many communities within its territory and having a centralized government with the power to collect taxes, draft men for work or war, and decree and enforce laws. Carneiro s model of Mesoamerica shows the growth of two states, Uruk and Susa. In Caneiro s theory, the two states follow his philosophy by the book. A slow rise in population also increases the growth of control. Thus more people in one area, the greater power they posses over others. However, superiority arouses the problems of war. When a state is on top, someone is always out there looking to surpass them. Conflict rises due to this discrepancy of a high and mighty population. A slight decrease from 4 to 3 in ...

The turning point in their lives was not caused by the war, but this eventuality was brought about sooner because of it. When Ishmael told Hatsue that he would be going off to war, he was really asking her if she would wait for him. That day when they held each other it was not the same. They both realized that they were victims of circumstances out of their control. However, Ishmael believed they could overcome them. In fact, it was not the war that was the obstacle.

The murderers were members of a group led by Charles Manson called the Manson Family. These people were completely controlled by Manson. He had them convinced that they ... a third of mankind.” Manson preached that the third part of mankind was the white race that would die in Helter Skelter (Bugliosi 323). Helter Skelter was the name that Manson had given the race war between the whites and the blacks. He believed that the blacks would win but would be unable to govern and then be forced to turn to the Manson Family for leadership (Bugliosi 329-331).

Einhard’s biography of Charlemagne explains and describes the brutal and forceful ways of converting Christianity into the everyday life of select Germanic cultures. Einhard exclaims, “No war ever undertaken by the Frank nation was carried on with such persistence and bitterness…the Saxons, like almost all the tribes of Germany, were a fierce people, given to worship of their devils.” (Einhard, 105) Putting these two ingredients into one local land mass spells one certain outcome; and that is a full out 33 year old war between the two cultures.

As seen within another quote from Einhard, “The war that had lasted so many years was at ...

The world was headed toward rearmament and warfare in the early to mid-1940s, and the movie industry, like every other aspect of life, responded by making movies, producing many war-time favorites. These movies offered escapist entertainment, reassurance, and patriotic themes and morale boosters for the audience. In the period following the war, post-war affluence increased choice of leisure time activities, conformity, middle-class values, a baby boom, the invention of television, drive-in theaters, and a youth reaction to middle-aged cinema. When most of ...
