.... proclaimed emperor of the state of Manchukuo in 1934. The Japanese were now free to exploit and develop Manchuria. Large investments in transportation, mining, construction, electric power, and other industries followed during the 1930s as Manchuria became the most economically advanced region of China. In fact, the region was virtually a colony of Japan. During World War II a base at Pinfang, near Harbin, was a prison camp for thousands of Russians, Koreans, and Chinese suspected of anti-Japanese activities. The base was actually a secret medical unit at which inhumane experiments were conducted; at least 3,000 prisoners died there. Insurgent fighting continued throughou ....

.... and heavy artillery. The British army first established the use of tanks, a new weapon in warfare. The Germans, in turn, developed new weapons to deal with the tanks which included field guns such as the German 77 mm and French 75 mm (Young World Book 369). A famous long range gun was called Big Bertha. This was also the first war in which cars and trucks were used to carry men and supplies to the front. World War I marked the beginning of chemical warfare in which clouds of poisonous mustard gas contributed to the casualties of the war (Stewart 8). Unlike previous wars, World War I was fought on the sea and in the air. This was the first war in which airplanes ....

.... by Israel and Syria, encouraged by the USA, to resolve the prolonged dispute over the Golan Heights. Nonetheless, if one defines the Middle East as including Algeria and Turkey, both of which have spawned conflicts involving considerable terrorist violence, including some international spillover, this region remains the most dangerous source of terrorist challenges to the wider international community, accounting for over 21% of all international terrorist incidents worldwide in 1992, and over 23% in 1993.

.... was when Tituba was killed. she was just a harmless servant. We put all of our blame on her for no reason. She was a scapegoat. We were all very confused at the time. The real point is that because of our stupidity, she was killed. She was completely innocent. All Tituba did was dance with the rest of us in the forest. We were all as guilty as she was, yet it was so easy to hold her responsible. I can’t believe that we would do something like that. I regret so much of what happened. I wish that I could go back to that day and have put and end to the horrible things that were going to come. Abigail was so persistent and intimidating, and no one wanted to go agai ....

.... exact reasons why the ancestors of the American revolutionaries chose to live in America, as opposed to staying in England, where a healthy and prosperous life was a much greater possibility. America was, in the eyes of its first English settlers, an open book with no writing on the pages. It was the foundation of a building that had not yet been built. Many felt that it was up to them to shape the way this new land would function, as opposed to the way Parliament or the King felt it should. The memories of these early pioneering settlers were a common theme for American revolutionaries before the Revolutionary War. These early settlers were the creators of the foundation t ....

The President said that anything less than the full cooperation of the Iraqi troops and tanks would result in immediate action by the U.S troops in his address to the people. Bush also demanded that full restoration of the Kuwaiti government must also take place rather than the puppet regime that was established by Saddam Hussein after his take over.

.... dozen chanting protesters . . . demanding a public investigation," Mayor Daley told the superintendent of the police, Terry Hilliard, to investigate. This is an example of Aristotle's feared democracy – selfish rule by the poor and needy. Aristotle promoted instead, government by constitution -- rule by many heading to the needs of the state instead of striving for personal gain. The founding fathers of the United States heeded Aristotle's advice realizing the fallibility of the general population, thus starting our country as a Republic. A republic is similar to a mixture of both aristocracy and constitutional government. It uses the good qualities of each and attempts t ....

.... or hazardous chemicals. He was also dumping oil from Kuwait into the Persian Gulf because he couldn’t sell it due to embargoes. This was an immediate threat to the environment. Hussein alone is a very dangerous man and one of the missions of the war was to kill him. However, we were unsuccessful, and today he is a huge threat. Hussein’s control of Kuwait affected the U.S. economically. All of Kuwait’s oil was in Hussein’s power and the U.S. was unable to trade with him because of sanctions. Therefore, oil based product prices raised 50 percent due to the lack of oil and a high demand for it. The U.S. was also giving financial aid to the Middle East to help driv ....
