.... One of the remaining fiefs was Gascony. There were often small disputes over this region due to its valuable wine production. This conflict grew larger when Charles the IV of France died leaving no direct heirs to the French throne exc ept Edward III of England who was the grandson of Philip IV. An assembly of French notables was brought together to form the first royal election since 987. Philip of Valois was chosen as King Philip VI. The French overlooked Edward the III for three reasons.

.... such as jobs, schools, railway stations beaches, park benches, public toilets and even parliament. Apartheid also prevented blacks from living in white areas. This brought about the hated "pass laws". These laws required any non-white to carry a pass on him or her. Unless it was stamped on their pass, they were not allowed to stay in a white area for more than 72 hours. Despite the fact that the whites only make up just over 14% of the population, they own 86.3% of the land. However, it must be said that the Afrikaaners are entitled to the Orange Free State and Transvaal, as they were first to use it after the Great Trek of 1836. The average South African White earns eight ....

.... images to canvas by a process of grids. Close didn't want to make Pop posters of famous people. liked to use a grid method where he drew each portion of the paintings on a grid, block for block making near perfect replicas of the photo or he would make abstract pictures. Linda is a very realistic piece made with acrylic and pencil on canvas. Close drew it exactly as a photo very clear around the face, eyes, nose, and mouth. However the outside of the hair, the cheek, the neck and below are all blurred. Just as in a photo. Linda is a middle age woman with brown curly hair and lots of make up. There are very thin lines everywhere in no specific direction, lots used under the ....

.... by musket balls for the cries of agony rise above the many guns' explosions. This is how the battle to be known as Bunker Hill began. On June 17, 1775 the took place. It is one of the most important colonial victories in the U.S. War for Independence. Fought during the Siege of Boston, it lent considerable encouragement to the revolutionary cause. This battle made both sides realize that this was not going to be a matter decided on by one quick and decisive battle. The was not just an event that happened overnight. The battle was the result of struggle and hostility between Great Britain and the colonies for many years. Many of the oppressive feelings came as a result of ....

.... the Puritans, were strong believers in witchcraft. Even the most minor occurrence was attributed to witchery: if a farmer’s cow failed to give milk, or his horse went lame, or his well dried up; it was a witch’s doing; if a housewife couldn’t get the butter to come, a witch was controlling the churning; if a horse’s mane was found tangled, it had been knotted by a witch who had used it as a stirrup to mount for a stolen ride to a witches’ Sabbath (Robbins 56). In the Massachusetts Bay Colony, a strong belief in the Devil, factions among Salem Village fanatics and rivalry with nearby Salem Town, a recent small pox epidemic, and the threat of attack by warring tri ....

Persecution punishment included jail and even execution. To seek refuge, they separated to go to Holland because of its proximity, lower cost, and safer passage. However, their lives in Holland were much different than that of England. The Separatists did not rebel against but rather preferred the English culture. They did not want their children to be raised Dutch. Also, they felt that Holland was too liberal. Although they enjoyed the freedom of religion, they decided to leave for America. Pilgrims, or sojourners, left f ....

.... the women's role then, to the role of women in society these days as well as the role women play in Julius Caesar's time and compare that with how they were really treated in Rome at that point in history. In Julius Caesar, women are portrayed as less than equals. This is shown by how in the entire movie, you never saw a woman fighting with, or against the men. Neither were women shown very often in scenes out in the city. Furthermore, men always 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 stil ....

.... and were a threat to the German and Christian values. Dating back to the first century A.D. the Jews and Christians were always at war. The Jews were considered the murderers of Christ and were therefor denounced from society, rejected by the Conservatives and were not allowed to live in rural areas. As a result, the Jews began living in the cities and supported the liberals. This made the Germans see the Jews as the symbol of all they feared. Following the defeat of the Germans in WW1, the Treaty Of Versailles and the UN resolutions against Germany raised many militaristic voices and formed extreme nationalism. Hitler took advantage of the situation and r ....
