.... to ultimately becoming a democracy, is where Wood’s evaluation of the revolution differs from other historians. He contributes such a transformation to the social and economic factors that faced the colonists. While Gordon Wood creates a persuasive argument in his book, he does however neglect to consider other contributing factors of the revolution. It is these neglected factors that provide opportunity for criticism of his book. The overall feeling one gets from reading Wood’s book is that republicanism was not a radical concept to the American colonists. Wood believed the American colonists had a deep- rooted concept of Republicanism that existed before revolutiona ....

.... mistake. Today we know this colossal invasion as . Midsummer 1943, Nazi Germany was at its zenith. Their Blitzkrieg or “lightning war” tactics had given the control of all of the mainland Europe except for neutral Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Sweden. At this time Soviet leader Joseph Stalin pushed US President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to mount a force against the powerful Germans. Plans though always fell through due to lack of numbers and insufficient military craft. Britain however, began to conjure theoretical plans to return to the main land. Then on December 11, 1941 Hitler declared war against the United States. This caus ....

.... Reports show that 2,400 people were killed and 1,300 were wounded. The reason Japan bombed, Pearl Harbor was because that was where all of the U.S. Navy ships were kept. They were hoping to take out the Navy and were almost successful. They expected the aircraft carriers to be in the harbor, but luckily were not. Although the attack may have been a success to the Japanese, it became a huge mistake in the end. One reason it was a mistake was it caused the U.S. to enter the war. The United States was the ultimate cause to Japan losing the war. Secondly it made the Americans angry and determined to destroy the Japanese. Recruiting offices were flooded with young patriots wh ....

.... Romans use torches, oil lamps, and cooked on gas stoves. An hour couldn’t go without a fire starting somewhere. The streets of Rome were also very noisy especially at night. This was because Caesar said that chariots were allowed on the streets only after sunset. The streets were also very crowded. So even when the chariots weren’t there, the people were. Another very chaotic place was the Argiletum. This is the most known shopping center in the empire. Most Romans didn’t own land. "The average Roman had little privacy and still less money." Most Romans who lived in the city were craftsmen, shopkeepers, or general laborers. "Trade was always conducted on a ....

.... he was alive. Martin Luther King was not just a leader of blacks, looking for equality, but as a leader of a revolution that affected all races and genders. No one like him has made such a difference in America since him, so nobody would honestly know what kind of difference Dr King would make today in the 90’s. However, in such a racial tension filled decade, a leader like Dr King, would most likely defend the rights of the rightless, and be the voice of the voiceless, as he was more than 30 years ago. I think that Martin Luther King would make a tremendous amount of change in cases of mistreated Americans. Incidents such as the Rodney King beating, and Reginald D ....

.... One such act of aggression came when the Soviets attempted to gain complete control of Berlin by forming a blockade against all of the other Allied forces. Despite the barrier, the United States airlifted tons of supplies to those who were in need of them in Berlin. This was the very beginning of antagonistic relations. Another form of aggression that angered the Americans was Stalin's refusal to hold free elections in Eastern Europe, while he covertly set up their governments to act as puppet satellites, forming a protective barrier around the U.S.S.R. The Soviets' reluctance to reunify Korea and the strong Communist atmosphere in North Korea also disgruntled Americans ....

.... state of affairs. For one, it is a reflection of mass widespread dislike toward homosexuals and their indecisiveness to prosecute their instigators due to fear of rejection among their peers towards their preference. Secondly, the interpretation of paragraph 175 of 1871 Reich criminal code, criminalizing ‘acts of indecency' as well as sexual intercourse between two men, was not repealed until 1969. This meant that homosexuals who had been persecuted and sent to concentration camps could now be punished under the same law. Also, homosexuals were not counted among Hitler's victims. Neither post-war German state had a "relevant" record in this area (Burleigh an ....

.... La India a finales del siglo 19 y a comienzos del siglo 20 no era como el país que hoy conoce en esta época la India no era todavía un Estado, sino un enorme territorio dividido en numerosos territorios feudales. La India había estado dominada por Musulmanes, Mongoles, compañías europeas y a los imperios coloniales. Dado el hecho de que nunca habían tenido una historia propia, no tenían noción de una verdadera conciencia nacionalista. Después del Acta, la gran disconformidad del pueblo hindú encontró su representante, ¨ El Mahatma ¨ Mohandas K.
