Introduction

Beowulf, the heroic poem first published in Old English is presently finding a common place in modern media. However, Beowulf is portrayed as one eponymous conqueror who is not only hot headed, but dim-witted as well (Haydock 9).

Sometimes, it only takes one great act in history, or one great story for a hero to emerge. Such is the case with the Greek story Iliad, and the historical events in Jerusalem during the time of the crusades.

Both have somehow made a stamp in history, and both are touted as heroes, even up to this day.

Counterfactual History: What Ifs of the Gallipoli Campaign

Introduction
Although counterfactual history is concerned with what didn’t happen, it acts as a manifestation of what did. Without a doubt, counterfactual history challenges the traditional academic ways of thinking with regards to risk management in the historical analysis. It explicitly inflates the range of plausible explanations by focusing on the number of possible outcomes. In doing so, there is a threat that a multiplicity of chaotic perspectives, each facilitated by chance and contingency might open up. In the case of the Gallipoli Campaign, the following questions may be asked if the Ottomans did not win at Gallipoli:

Would the Republic of Turkey still have been established?

Would the Russian ...

Through cultural diffusion2, the new religion gained a small but loyal group of followers such as the twelve apostles who would eventually travel the Roman Empire to preach His teachings and spread the awareness of the public to the Christian religion. History proves that ...
