421 Words - 2 Pages

.... but went back. But, when the news of the furs came out, swarms of people flocked from Europe to get their hands on the skins of these animals. Initially, they came to find the Orient and India, but found North America instead. That is why the first people seen on North America are called indians, the settlers thought they had found India and called the natives indians. When they first settled, the settlers had NOTHING except what they had brought with them on the boats. They did not have many weapons, tools, or medical assistance, but the settlers were strong willed and persistent, and they survived. Most of the settlers were self reliant, and in top physical cond ....

The Manhattan Project
815 Words - 3 Pages

.... Nazis would build the atom bomb first. He got together with some of his friends including Einstein who talked to Roosevelt. Roosevelt approved the project in 1939 Physicists from 1939 onward conducted much research to find answers to such questions as how many neutrons were emitted in each fission, which elements would not capture the neutrons, would they moderate or reduce their velocity, and whether only the lighter and more rare isotope of uranium (U- 235) or the common isotope (U-238) could be used. They learned that each fission releases a few neutrons. A chain reaction, therefore, was theoretically possible, if not too many neutrons escaped from the mass or were cap ....


A Comparison On The Iranian An
2981 Words - 11 Pages

.... Iran and Puerto Rico, instead of looking for commonalties in each other, look for the uniqueness they possess as individual countries. Persia, or Iran as it's called, lies next to Iraq and is very close to Saudi Arabia with Russia towards the north. It’s climate-for the most part- is hot and sandy, and it is very rich in oil wells. Ten percent of Iran is usable for agriculture, yet Iran is still able to support a third of its population. Wheat is one of its most important crops followed by nuts, fruits and hides.

The History Of The Peace In Rome, The Pax Romana
540 Words - 2 Pages

.... more than 200,000 miles of secondary roads connecting each of the cities in the empire. Augustus turned our city of Rome from a city of brick into a city of marble as he liked to say. A building material was discovered and was used to make roads and bridges. This building substance was concrete. We figured out that if we mixed lime mortar, pour it into a wooden mold, and then wait for it to dry then we would have a substance that was as hard as stone. This was a new age for us because the concrete formed the backbone of Rome's bold architecture. This material was then covered with a costly material, usually marble, to look more decorative. This was used around t ....


Is The Bible From God
626 Words - 3 Pages

.... in wartime and the starvation of the poor during famine. It was to the people of this harsh age that the Bible was first written. In New Testament times, slave labor was foundational to the economy of the Roman empire. About a third of the population were slaves. If the writers of the New Testament had attacked the institution of slavery directly, the gospel would have been identified with a radical political cause at a time when the abolition of slavery was unthinkable. To directly appeal for the freeing of slaves would have been inflammatory and a direct threat to the social order. (1) Consequently, the New Testament acknowledged slavery's existence, instru ....


The Holocaust

.... of a religion was at hand, but also see that it is not the first to come so close. But rather the most current. It is a simple and bold reminder that some people are just not very smart, and for that same reason we must look out for all to be at peace with all. To the few people who deny the occurance of the Holocaust and rather call it the Hocsacaust. The Holocaust just means exactly what is in the dictionary, "great or total destruction especially by fire." And by no means is the genocide of European Jews, and other groups by the Nazi Germany during WWII. To me the Holocaust means the most current gigantic thing to happen to a group of people. In my opinion, not the ....
