In 1760, King George III took reign of England, making quite a few controversial decisions along the way. By acting more aggressively towards France, George III started to alienate the rest of Europe, and tensions started to mount between George and the Whigs, as well as other European countries. By contrast, the sociopolitical climate of the colonies at the time was incredibly harrowing - increased taxation and more and more controversial legislation on the part of England was breeding resentment among the colonists. The Sugar, Currency, Stamp and Quartering Acts of the mid-1760s, among others, were thought to be unfair ...

Introduction

Freedman’s commentary of nuclear deterrence being, C’est magnifique, mais ce n’est pas la stratégie or ‘It is magnificent, but it is not strategy’ in English, may have been coined from the famous remark of French Marshal Pierre Bosquet while watching the British light cavalry wipe itself out in The Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava in the Crimean War of 1854 in which he exclaimed, “C'est Magnifique, Mais Ce N'est Pas La Guerre” or ‘It is magnificent, but it is not war’.

Introduction
Since it has gained its independence after the Civil War, the United States of America became the force to be reckoned with as the world’s dominant force in the international arena.

Federico Fellini’s La Strada (1954): The Components of a Critical Essay on Film
The goal of a filmmaker is to make use of narrative to match well with cinema’s natural formalistic techniques. Cinema, as André Bazin has noted has its own ontology of being both an objective representation of reality seeing through the subjective lens of the preserved image. It has a unique way of both representing reality, by preserving life through a representation of life (Bazin 2004, p. 10). Filmmakers not only communicate ...

There are but a few eras in the history of the United States that can rival the 1960s in terms of political turbulence and social unrest. This period was marked by widespread anxiety regarding race, gender, social class, and generational divide, not to mention the political chasm between the government and the more youthful sectors of society regarding the issue of the war in Vietnam. As a result, a number of movements – both political and social – emerged out of the cacophony of voices advocating for change. African Americans began their struggle for civil rights, while the “new” left began to question the ...

More than two thousand years ago, Chinese emperors began constructing massive walls of defense to protect their northern frontiers. Nowadays, the remains of these ancient ramparts and towers still scar China’s borderlands. Hundreds of thousands of men both young and old performed Corvée labor in order to pay their taxes to the emperor. They pounded this gigantic, winding edifice out of the Earth’s soil. Finally in the 16th century, the Chinese people built greater fortifications that ran across the steppe borders. A stone colossus that became the national emblem of China; the Great Wall. ...

Introduction

Perhaps no clause in the U.S. constitution has been so misconstrued and debated as the Second Amendment. In fact, even the Supreme Court could not make up their mind as to the true meaning of “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed”. A decisive interpretation to this clause has been quite elusive. Since its ratification, only a few cases have found its way to the Supreme Court while the court’s decision has not helped clarify the matter more than being ...

“The way of does nothing, yet nothing is left undone” (Philip J. Ivanhoe, 2003) is a statement that can be easily misunderstood by anyone. It could be rephrased to “do nothing, and there is nothing left undone”. The statement may create a great deal of controversies in the interpretation. The word “doing” refers to one getting engaged in a certain activity leading to a particular result. The word “nothing: means not getting involved, and hence no progress. The controversy then would be, can one do nothing, and yet everything happens?
The verse is implying the Tao teaching of achieving alignment with nature. ...

Abstract

This paper aims at establishing communism in China and its effects on the government, economy, and lifestyle.
Introduction
In world history, communism is often associated with negative points. When communism is brought up, cruel regimes in the former Germany, U.S.S.R, and Yugoslavia and also current regimes in nations such as, North Korea, China and Cuba are time and again thought of depressingly. In addition to that, communism is associated with government control, limited personal freedoms, and a police state. Seemingly, all these curtail civil liberties. Ideally, some nations have tried communism and failed because of the methods they ...

Introduction

The executive power was at first devised as a mere organ of implementation of laws. During the first years of the republic, the presidency was regarded as a nearly powerless body, given that the Constitution provides much more prevalence to the Congress. This was done on purpose because the founding fathers wanted to avoid the problems caused by kings and despots in countries that did not restrain the power of their rulers. Nonetheless, the executive office has gradually increased its power, especially during the last century. Right now, the executive is the dominant force in foreign policy making but, through history, ...

Abstract

In the world of This Side of Paradise, the youth of the nation is confused, lost and torn between love, obligation and opportunity, not really knowing where they ...

Discursive formations an explanation of the human behavior attempts to undermine the archeological historical analysis. In the discursive formations analysis, human beings are not the center analysis to avoid problems associated with anthropological approaches used earlier. This discursive formation analysis can be used in explaining the revolutionary discourses that constantly undermined the history of Europe towards the end of the nineteenth century. At the end of the middle ages, there was an increased power struggle and increased women's participation in social and political activities. The same period experienced the first wave of feminism when women's emancipation movements ...

Both world wars I and II had huge impact on America both economy and political issues majority of which was negative as one would expect from any given wart in the world.

Revolution is often; if not always, bloody, and there cannot be a revolution without rebels. These rebels become the hero of their society. If the early American heroes such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and many others had not resisted the power of the British Crown, the American Revolution would have never come to past. These freedom fighters, in search of liberty and freedom, rebelled against a powerful government, though they were the underdog, they won. Not every rebel is a revolutionist, however, anyone who defies authority or convention is a rebel. In the article titled “The Hero in Spite of Himself”, Rosette ...

The Punic Wars

After the Great Wars that shook the status quo in the 1900s up to the late 90s, many believed that peace would no longer be threatened by worldwide conflict. However, this relief had been shattered when a group had decided to attack several key installations of the world’s only superpower on September 11, 2001, returning the fear that was once felt in the time of the Great Wars. With a group known as Al Qaeda taking responsibility over the crime, the US and its allies have declared “The War on Terror” against groups such as Al Qaeda across the globe. ...

Nations are often defined by their music – music has been used for centuries to depict the patriotism and values of a state or country, and America is no exception. The history of America’s patriotic music in particular is fascinating, and traces the country’s evolution from British offshoot, to bombastic independent nation, all the way through the difficulties of the Civil War, two World Wars, Vietnam and beyond. More than just anthems, American patriotic music allows music historians to track the national consciousness at the time at which these songs were penned and popularized – the way people sing about ...

Introduction

At the end of the 1970s, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) emerged from the Mao Zedong era and started the process of opening up to the foreign world.

Entering its fourth year events coined as the “Arab Spring” still unfold in Middle East particularly in Syria. Conflict in Syria dominated by Sunni failed to topple Assad’s Alawi regime leading to a civil war unlike other Arab countries where regimes have been brought down. Syria’s response to the civil war was not to the interest of the people rather to protect its self resulting to a crisis of confidence. Syria enforced the use of excessive force (weapons of mass destruction) against the rebels leading to genocide on highly populated areas with minimal rebel presence (Bokhari, 2012).

Empire and Domestic Politics in Japan

The Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854 signaled the end of Japan’s isolationist policy and the start of modernization. Japan’s democratization process also began to take place during this period. Democratization is a process “whereby liberal democratic values, institutions, and practices are harmonized with indigenous political values, institutions, and practices to create a new political system in which the government is directed by and held accountable to its polity. Education was highly prioritized and Japanese learned science and technology from the west and this was done by recruiting Western experts and sending Japanese students to study abroad.

DID RONALD REAGAN END THE COLD WAR?
Did Ronald Reagan end the Cold War?
Since the end of the Second World War, it was certain that a clash between the two remaining superpowers would be imminent since Europe is currently in a state of disarray. Both the Western and Eastern Blocs, led by the United States and the Soviet Union respectively, had felt threatened over the other’s interest in the still recovering Europe and the right to be known as the only superpower standing. The resulting clash paved the way to the Cold War of 1947-1991, arguably the ...

It might seem strange that a lot of Americans are not even aware of the second war for independence (that is the other name for the war of 1812). However if we think about it, one can find quite a few reasons that have caused such ignorance among people. The war of 1812 has a very compound roots, extremely confusing course, and in addition to all of it the outcome of the war is also hard to understand, as both sides consider themselves to be winners. The war happened during the so-called stagnation period in the history of the US, the period ...

A hidden human skull overlying the horse and a bull appearing that gores the horse from below appear hidden in the art and are formed by the horse. A soldier is seen beneath the horse. He is dismembered and holds a shuttered sword. A ...

Poetry gives writers a voice to express their innermost feelings. I read once someone that one of the most difficult things that veterans face returning home is a lack of shared references points to relate their experience with those who were not there. Everyone knows war from books and movies, but it is another thing to be on the front lines fighting first hand. World War I in particular was gruesome, since much of the combat was fought in close proximity and many soldiers wallowed away in disease, pain and discomfort in trenches.
Reading poetry from the soldier poet one ...

Population:
The population of the central European nations dramatically increased during the early twentieth century which may have led to an economic downturn. The population of Germany grew from 40 million in 1871 to roughly 68 million by 1914 and this was achieved by the transformation of the German economic structure from an agriculture and self-sustaining state to a complicated industrial structure with internal and external factors affecting the business environment. According to Keynes it was a machine that had to be run continuously and at full blast to find abode for their population at home and import food from ...

World War 1

Introduction

The First World War became a severe test for the whole world in the twentieth century. It was a turning point in European civilization that marked the end of the 19th century - the century of conservatism, education and stability, and the beginning of the 20th century - the century of the great revolutions and world wars, mass terror and rapid technological development.
According to Dowling, more than sixty million people entered the armed services in 1914-1918. Around ten million men gave their lives in the conflict known as Great War, along with twenty million others. The ...

One of the most important factors to consider when discussing the military in early North America is that each colony had its own militia organization that theoretically was supposed to include all able-bodied white males who were generally expected to provide their own weapons. These militias were also called up in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War and the Civil War, as well as the various wars against the Native Americans. In a country that had a weak central government—and none at all during the colonial era—along with a string distrust of standing armies of the ...

When the European settlers came to North America, it was already inhabited by an indigenous group of people. In the 19th century white Americans came with the idea of Manifest Destiny and in order to realize their idea of possessing the entire continent of North America, they began removing Native Americans from their ancestral homeland into reserved territories for the Indians. The US government initiated the One Big Reservation policy in 1851 and according to this policy Native Americans were to shift into 'One Big Reservation' but the constant migration of European settlers, the evolution of transportation technology which ...

The Preterritorial Period

Arizona’s written history goes back to the 1500s, long after the cultural decline of the pre-historic groups (including Sinagua, Anasazi and Hohokam), who had settled in the region as early as 300 BC (McClory, 2012).

Human beings are peculiar and unique creatures as they have the mental ability of making concrete decision, communicating, engaging in a logical argument and interacting with others in the society. The fact that humans can communicate, associate and interact with others and understand their immediate environment effectively, engineered the use of artistic works such as music, drawings, painting and sculpture as a means of enhancing communication, integration and reconnect with reality(Roman & Roman, 2010). The trend has existed over the years and has evolved throughout the history thus forming part of human existence and survival. In additions, the use of artistic ...

The paper aims to comprehend and document the history of Germany and delve deep into the possibilities and capacity of the nation to dominate the European continent.

Ethics: War on Terrorism
In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans pondered the thought that the war on terrorism is unjust. Many Americans believe that our government’s reasons for fighting this war are for money, greed, and oil reserves. But truth be told and if Americans and the world at large could consider the interests and safety of the wider society against the terror groups, then there could be no question as to why America is so serious about the post 9/11 war on ...

As a country America has always been seen as a unique unit of states with a common goal and a common destiny. This has always been her allure and her selling point. But as a nation America too had to evolve and grow from a smaller unit to the super power she is today. This expansion came about in various ways and some of the most common were via purchases and treaties. But just like other countries America too had to engage in warfare in a bid to expand her shores. America has been involved in many wars over the period of her existence and they ...

The end of the Vietnam War had a great impression on my political opinion because of the controversy that surrounded the war and the fact that it created a major rift between the government and the American citizens. The war that lasted almost 10 years cost billions of dollars, the lives of 58,282 American soldiers and left 303,644 American soldiers wounded. The war defined a generations, divided Americans and changed the U.S. military policy and operation. Americans opposed the involvement of the U.S. in the Vietnam and by 1970 less than 30% of the citizens supported the war leading to ...

At the dawn of the Vietnam War, the United States of America was driven by the malicious interest of going to war for no apparent motive to gain anything from the war. The cards were however turned upside down when the French withdrew from the war leaving the U.S troops at the war front. The U.S was just out to oppose the growth and establishment of communism at all costs. The proponents of communism were aggrieved by the malice occasioned on them by the U.S and thus resolved not to relent in the war. Due to the massive deaths ...

Hitler wondered if the British citizens would continue supporting the War. He argued that the citizens in Britain would come against Churchill while they learnt that the war could not be conducted without gaining losses (Trevor 299). The Japanese were seen by Hitler as a country that would not have the ability to occupy the whole of the East including India and New Zealand. The lack of interest by the Japanese occupation would ensure their support to Germany after the war period. The entry of the Japanese into the war would provide the Germans an advantage of regaining the friendship ...

Civilization in Cold War

The end of the Second World War left the world with two superpowers – the United States (US) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) – that nearly controlled every aspect of politics, economics and social life worldwide. The two superpowers, after completion of the Second World War, started fierce rivalry that did not involve direct military engagements in the battlefields. The fight for scientific, political, economic, and military control as a way of civilization led the Americans to support one group or country over the others. The war involved the two superpowers in hideously supporting, financing and implementing their ideologies ...

The colonists were increasingly at odds with Great Britain and he powers that they were holding over the people in the new world. Although the colonists had no representation in Parliament, they were being taxed at increasingly heavy rates and forced to fall ever strict laws.

As the more influential members of the colonies were agitated, they began to write circular letters. These letters were started by one ...

The end of the Second World War left the world with two super powers who competed to control every aspect of the world politics, economics and social life.

The capitalistic mode of development was blamed on placing powers on individual leaving the government with minimal control.

The American Revolutionary War began in 1775 and ended in 1783. Originally, the war was fought by the British on one side and the Americans on the other side, but developed into a war between the Great Britain on one side and United States, France, Spain and Netherlands on the other side.
