History Term Papers and Reports
Saving Private Ryan
866 Words - 4 Pages

.... like other kinds of garbage." For those of us who never went to war, and learned of its horrors only through the reports of those who did or the representations of artists, it is easy to keep the nightmare hidden away. Maybe not so easy with the war closest to many of us, Vietnam. Thanks to our disillusionment with it, and the work of journalists like Michael Herr and filmmakers like Oliver Stone and Francis Ford Coppola, Vietnam flickers in and out of our imaginations as a minor piece of hell, a torn-out fragment from a Bosch painting. But World War II, the Good War, the Heroic War, the war that saved the world, is different. Yes, we know it was dreadful, but we don't real ....


Cuban Revolution
434 Words - 2 Pages

.... government would reform and abolish slavery and the tyrannical rule it held over the Cubans. The treaty was not honored however, and resistance was again put up in 1885. The Spanish king at the time Alfonso XIII, encouraged the use of concentration camps for revolutionaries caught in battle. The Cuban Revolution became extremely bloody due to the use of Guerrilla warfare. This military operation, conducted on its home terrain, consisted of inhabitants 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. W ....


King Philip's War
382 Words - 2 Pages

.... began killing many Native Americans. The war went on for over a year with the two sides mostly equal. Finally, the Native Americans were worn down because of starvation and deaths. They finally surrendered or fled from the war and went home. Although the English won, they also lost. Sixteen villages were destroyed and one-tenth of the military men were killed. So many men were lost that the casualties were higher in King Philip’s War than in either the American Revolution or Civil War. The Wampanoag did not get off so very easy either. An English ally killed Metacom and his head was exhibited at Plymouth for twenty years. As a result of this war, Native Americans nev ....


Vietnam War
1451 Words - 6 Pages

.... France and whoever wanted to unify Vietnam under Communist rule. The South was controlled by Vietnamese who went with the French. The United State became involved in Vietnam because they believed that if all of the country fell under a Communist government, Communism would spread throughout Southeast Asia and then it would be all over the world. They could this the "domino theory". Then the US government supported the South Vietnamese government. The government's policies led to rebellion in the South while the NFL was in the North Vietnam's team. In 1940, the Japanese troops invaded French Indochina. Then the Vietnamese nationalists called the Viet Minh, began guerrill ....


Human Rights In Yugoslavia (98
2447 Words - 9 Pages

.... consisting of six republics. In 1991 and 1992, four of the republics--Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, and Slovenia--declared their independence. Fighting then broke out between Serbs and other ethnic groups in Croatia and in Bosnia-Herzegovina. As a result of this fighting, Serbian forces occupied about 30 percent of Croatia's territory and about two-thirds of Bosnia-Herzegovina. A cease-fire ended most of the fighting in Croatia in January 1992. But in May 1995, Croatian government forces began to take back the areas that were held by the Serbs. In April 1992, Serbia and Montenegro formed a new, smaller Yugoslavia. However, the United States and most oth ....


Russia Crisis: Economical, Political, And Moral
560 Words - 3 Pages

.... liberal reformer, taking on the twin evils of reactionary communism and criminal mafia business tycoons. That is not how it is seen here. Mr Yeltsin's popularity is now so low that Russia's main public opinion polling organisation has stopped trying to measure it. It has fallen off the scale. He is associated not with democracy and the free market, but with the creation of bandit capitalism in which dishonesty and graft pay dividends and the ordinary good people of Russia stand in line at bank queues and watch all they have spent their lives building up disappearing before their eyes. That is the Yeltsin legacy. Russia: A flea market economy Presidents Clinton an ....


Woman In Theater
331 Words - 2 Pages

.... may not be suitable to be shown to represent and study the practice of theatre. So does this mean the best way to study theatre is to just accept the fact that society was in fact extremely unjust to woman in this classical period? I feel it was unjust, but we need to continue to study theatre, and stop trying to change or justify how it was in the past. I think the most amazing thing about theatre, is that over time despite how the concept of theatre was in the past the whole spectrum of theatre has changed. We now cast lead roles in theatre with woman. We are able to study the past, and examine the anti-woman roles and learn from them, and it helps us to learn about that s ....


The Aztec Empire History
1270 Words - 5 Pages

.... they saw when entering the new land. By the year 1325 their capital city was finished. They called it Tenochtitlan. In the capital city, aqueducts were constructed, bridges were built, and chinapas were made. Chinapas were little islands formed by pilled up mud. On these chinapas Aztecs grew their food. The Aztec Empire included many cities and towns, especially in the Valley of Mexico. The early settlers built log rafts, then covered them with mud and planted seeds to create roots and develop more solid land for building homes in this marshy land. Canals were also cut out through the marsh so that a typical Aztec home had its back to a canal with a canoe tied at the do ....
