.... the Great Migration, and the Industrial Revolution. The French Revolution began in 1789 and lasted until the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. The revolution called for democracy. The three goals of the revolution were: liberty, equality, and fraternity. They rebelled against the kings and nobles, and were successful. Due to the success of people in the French Revolution ideas went into peoples minds. The idea caught on everywhere including Canada. People thought they could bring about similar or possibly more rights for themselves. Another example is the Great Migration, where many people migrated to Canada. The increased population meant more people and more thoughts ....

.... than six hundred maps created, not one having this holy city as the center. There was nothing new about putting "the most sacred place at the center" says Boorstin. The Hindus placed Mount Meru, a mythological 70,000 foot high mountain at the center of their map. In the Muslim faith, the Ka'bah in Mecca was the highest point on earth and the polestar showed the city of Mecca to be opposite the center of the sky. As one can clearly see, many maps, had different centers. Each map had a different center, each based on a different religion. Many years before the birth of Jesus Christ, the Greeks theorized that the earth was a globe. But after that, there was a period in histor ....

.... to attract English indentured servants to a colony short of labor, the Virginia legislature made terms of service as attractive as possible. (Vaughan, 141) But as the economy began to thrive once again back in England, more people were resistant about traveling to the New World as a servant rather than an investor in the "tobacco game." Because white labor inevitably became inadequate due to its transient nature, and the costs of indentured servitude began to rise, planters turned their eyes toward the cheaper and indefinite service of black laborers. Although it may have not been as socially desirable, African s figured into this "problem" in that they represented ....

.... days he enjoyed up to now had come to an end. Hitler had entered a primary school. The second occurrence was that his father retired on a annual support from the Austrian civil service. This meant that young Adolf had been under the watchful eyes of both his teacher at school and his father at home. His father, Alois, was used to giving orders and having them obeyed from his kids because of his occupation in the civil service. Therefore, he was very strict. Alois Hitler never had a pleasant relationship with any of his children. Hitler was said to have a really good singing voice and took part in his school's choir. He also was a very smart boy, doing well in sc ....

.... of . . . peace and security of the United States. The Truman Doctrine would change the foreign policy of the United States and the world. This policy would first go in aid to support the democratic regimes in Turkey and Greece. These nations were being threatened by Soviet-supported rebels seeking to topple the government and install a Communist regime. The Soviets were also making extreme territorial demands especially concerning the Dardanelles. A direct influence of this Doctrine was, of course, the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan was designed to give aid to any European country damaged during World War II. It tremendously helped ravaged European nations ....

.... slow, difficult, and costly. Because of different rail gauges, sometimes freight had to be unloaded and then reloaded on boxcars. Second, most goods had to be produced and provided locally on a small scale. As a result, prices for products were very high. Nevertheless, with the help of federal grants, railroad promoters were able to build a more efficient railroad system that would connect the settled east with the unsettled west. After the completion of the new railroads system, farmers were in reasonable distance of railroad depots, which meant manufacturers could locate their plants anywhere and be able to bring in raw materials and send their products wherever the ....

.... to reconcile, their economic goals rose to the forefront of their policy, while racism spread throughout the country and deepened in the South. Even with all of the good intentions and ideals expressed in the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, blacks watched as their freedom disintegrated through the late 19th Century as a result of the Supreme Court decisions that limited the implications of the new amendments. After the passage of these amendments, two of the three branches of government disconnected themselves with the issue of black civil rights. Following Grant’s unenthusiastic approach to protecting blacks in the South, the executive branch gradually made its po ....

.... and soon he started preaching among his people. The Islam could be interpreted as an improvement or revision of the Christianity and Judaism. In someway Islam brought to the Muslim world not only uniting religion but also a new set of values, understandings, a whole new way of life. After the death of Muhammad the Prophet the Islam continued to spread. The Arab armies were attacking, invading and conquering different parts of three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa. They converted to their religion wherever they went. About A.D. 700 the Islam reached North Africa and most of Southeast Asia. Centuries later it came to Southern and Eastern Europe, West and East Africa, So ....
