.... United States to permanent European presence (Lecture 28, D4).” This meant the U.S. would need to keep a strong military at hand. The Government sought to maintain its’ military dominance, and further the development of the atom bomb. Thus a nuclear age began. Before the war, the American people were unsettled by the Great Depression. Unemployment was high. But the Second World War brought a lot of people into the work force, including women. While the men were at war, the women were at work. The standard before had been for men to work, and women to tend to the daily household duties. But women needed to support the .....

.... 1945 after the U.S.A. spent over 6.7 Billion Dollars on the test bomb named the "Trinity". I t was dropped on Alagormado in Texas on July 16th 1945. When Albert Einstein heard about the "Trinity" he called the president directly and asked for a halt on all atomic bomb projects for he did not want to hurt anyone with his discovery. But when spies reported the Germans working on such a project the Manhatten project was continued. The long nights there after were hell for the president while deciding to launch the soon to be completed "Little Boy" bomb. Finally, the american troops were told to load "Little Boy" in the specifically .....

.... of thinking of the time, and placed a deep mark into not only Greek thinking and culture, but also the "Western" idea and life. Many people do not realize it, but much of today's culture can be found in ancient Persian literature, art, and architecture. Much has been made of the Greco-Persian Wars, and rightfully so. The Greco-Persian Wars were a series of wars between the Persians and the Greek coalition. The number of victories favored the Persians by far, however, the one event that mattered because it ended all Persian presence in Greece, the battle of Platea, was won by the Greeks. This series of wars may very well be the ev .....

.... get away with it and he almost did, but he shortly found out that he had a little pay-back coming to him. The kid was caned, and he hasn’t done anything dumb since. Torture like this works, torture is a way that can really make you have second thoughts before you do anything stupid. Torture was practiced in numerous ancient civilizations. Convicts and war prisoners were put to death by using torture to give them a slow, humiliating death. To some American Indian tribes, it is a custom to torment and burn prisoners. Crucifixion was a popular torture technique in ancient Rome. Rome also used torture to get slaves, criminals .....

.... called Creole. This language now varies from island to island. They also kept their culture, which accounts for calypso music and the instruments used in these songs. Slavery was common all over the world until 1794 when France signed the Act of the National Convention abolishing slavery. It would take America about a hundred years to do the same. George Washington was America's hero. He was America's first president. He was a slave owner. He deplored slavery but did not release his slaves. His will stated that they would be released after the death of his wife (The Volume Library, 1988). Washington wasn't the only preside .....

.... of republican violence reaches back as far as the 18th century, and in the late 19th century republic groups killed the secretary of state for Ireland, and began to dynamite army barracks and public offices in England. The IRA evolved in 1919 as a successor to Irish Volunteers (founded in 1913). In the 70s IRA was divided into the «official» wing, working for a united Ireland in a revolutionary, socialist republic, and the «provisional» wing (the Provos)(PIRA) consisting of younger, overtly sectarian Catholic members committing to the use of terror tactics to force British troops out of Northern Ireland to form a unified I .....

.... fed up with oppressive rule. The men involved operated from bases located deep in the jungle, dense forests, and high rocky elevations. Guerrillas depended on natives for food, shelter, and useful information. While striking swiftly was a must, the bands of men were specialized in the undetected raiding of enemy camps. They could ambush a patrol, kill the soldiers, and supply their entire company in a matter of hours. Cutting communication between enemy lines became a prime target, once severed from the army, a battalion could be attacked, disarmed, and their reserves used for the revolutionaries. It was the unfortunate, des .....

.... while Handel was employed as a household musician to Marchese Francisco Maria di Ruspoli during a sixth month span in 1707. These cantatas were composed for meetings of the Arcadian Academy. In 1710 Handel became the director of music for the elector of Hanover. Handel then took a position in 1718 as the director of music for the duke of Chandos. During this whole time span Handel had composed many operas and cantatas. Unfortunately, Handel started having trouble with his vision in 1751 and by 1753 was nearly blind.

.... about the way things work, some hasten to postulate "God's doings" as the answers to all of our unanswered questions. Are we on this earth because "God put us here"? Was it a chance arrangement of amino acids in a molecular pool which evolved into a human being? Or does the answer lie in some different theory that only time will reveal? Whether it be in the case of medicine, religion, history, or anything requiring judgement, even gossip, one must realize that reality is impossible to pin down. Although we may be sure that two parallel lines could never meet, there may be someone named Lobachevski who is sure that they ca .....

.... small states are at a great advantage under the Electoral College system. Small states would also be at a disadvantage with the absence of the Electoral College due to the plain fact that candidates would have less incentive to campaign in those states. Under the current system, presidential candidates go to small states far less than they do to the states with greater electoral power. However, with a popular vote this phenomenon would be immensely magnified. Candidates would exclusively campaign in, and attend to the needs of, the largely populated states. There would be much less of an incentive for them to visit the small s .....
