.... by passing a law making it illegal to send material assistance to belligerent countries. Poland was crushed in three weeks. Germany was on the move. (Renouvin 177) The movement continued as Germany seeked to conquer Norway and Denmark. Norway held much of Germany’s valuable shipments of iron, which was crucial to warfare. Hitler feared that the allies would attempt to cut this supply off to Germany. These countries also served as vitally tactical submarine ports. So, in April 1940 Germany took both Norway and Denmark. British attempted to stop the Germans, but they overpowered the British with airpowers. Britain took .....

.... presented what women had seen in their dreams and visions. The women that had one of these "revelations" never presented what she had seen by herself. This to me suggests that in the time frame of Julius Caesar, women were still treated as though they should be at home looking after the children and cleaning the house. Compared to today, that portrayal is completely different. Today many men and women believe that we are equals, and that women can do just as much as men in this (as of now) male dominated world. According to the roman research that I have done, this is indeed the right portrayal of women in the time frame tha .....

.... The compromise of 1850 stated that California enters free, and New Mexico and Utah decided on their own which is giving them more state rights in which the South heavily supported. This compromise did not satisfy each side fully. The issue of State rights intensified by the issue of slavery because the Southern states felt they had the right to decide on their own about Slavery without Federal intervention. It seems the Southern states felt that the "American dream" was out of their reach because they felt powerless and inferior with the Central government. When the American revolution was fought to break from Britain, the S .....

.... main Tartar enemies of Russia- Kazan, Astrakhan and Crimea. Ivan IV emerged victoriously as he established rule over Kazan and Astrakhan. The locations of these territories lied by a great source that enables communication and is essential for transportation and commerce. It is the Volga River that Ivan IV was able to obtain control over thus providing a step forward to the foreign world. Energy and human spirit were drained once again when Russia waged another major war against the Livonian Order. Such a war was brought upon Ivan IV’s preference to pursue a policy of westward expansion thus invading the Livonian Order who .....

.... to each according to his/her needs. To anarchists, material equality is one dimension to socialism, but there is another of equal importance, that of freedom. The world has enough wealth to provide for all our material comforts. Socialism seeks to liberate people from the constant worries about mortgages or landlords, the rising cost of living and the numerous other issues, trivial yet vital that grind us down in our daily life. What's more, socialism must also give us the power to control our own lives, power to take control of our own destinies. For our entire lives, from school to the workplace, we are force .....

.... and how it either unites or divides people. For the first time, moreso than Rome's conversion to Christianity, a religious division was taking place within a relatively homogeneous society. Religion perhaps is predominately viewed by most contemporaries as problematic given the current divisions among many Catholics and Protestants in Ireland and the continuing conflict between Muslims and Hebrews in the Middle East. The Crusades serve as an example of how two religiously unified societies become fierce competitors in the conquest for world domination, in this sense, religion is divisive. The dynamics in determining whether rel .....

.... Confederate States of America. The North would not let them go. They felt that the south was a part of the union forever. At the time of this whole uproar within the country a lawyer named Abraham Lincoln had been climbing the political ladder. He who believed in what the north stood for. He was a Congressman and very anti slavery. He helped make up bills that to abolish slavery, but they never got passed . Many southerners did their best to keep Lincoln out of the White House. They feared what he might do as a President. That he would hurt the south. He did not want to see them separate themselves. He said “No state .....

From their childhood until the ages of six or seven the men were taught home by their mother or a male .....

.... Supper”, painted on the wall of the dining hall in the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. These paintings alone would have assured him enduring fame as an artist, but they should not obscure the fact that he was also a sculptor, an architect, and the man of science. More than 300 years before flying machines were perfected, Leonardo devised plans for prototypes of an airplane and a helicopter. His extensive studies of human anatomy were portrayed in drawing, which were among the most significant drawings in Renaissance science. Leonardo’s remarkable illustrations of the human body elevated the most s .....

.... in the ‘new world.’ However was this triumph over the inhabitants of the land evidence of a superior civilisation? How does one define ‘Civilisation’? For if we are to discuss what is a superior and an inferior race then understanding of the term ‘civilisation’ is critical. The term ‘civilisation’ is used everyday and is understood by everyone, yet a proper definition is more difficult to pin down. The oxford university dictionary defines civilisation as: ‘a developed or advanced sate of human society.’ This is helpful, yet the question of how developed or how advanced is still relevant. .....
