Background

There have been numerous conspiracy theories offered in lieu of explanations surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in 1963(“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, details about the assassination have been uncertain for the last 40 plus years due to the fact that many of the tapes with information and evidence have been tampered with, and so many legal experts and scholars, and historians have refuted a lot of the information published on the case and deem them unreliable (“John F. Kennedy: Assassination or Conspiracy, n.d.”). In addition, due to the irregularities and ...

Some people say that this principle is valid because many events or consequences would not happen if there is no root cause just like attributing all misfortunes on earth to Adam and Eve. In essence, these people believe that ...

However, there is no historical evidence these were Caesar’s last words; more likely; they were popularized by William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar in the sixteenth century. Known as the Ides of March, Caesar’s death is one of the most famous political overthrows in all of ...

Europe's Last Summer by David Fromkin considers the origins of World War from the perspective of the alliances Germany had formed prior to the war and how those alliances affected its entry into the war.

In particular, Fromkin looks in detail at the European crisis that occurred in mid-1914 and pieces together his argument that it was Germany’s alliances and how poorly it handled its diplomatic relations which resulted in the terrible calamity ...

Generally, all historical themes contribute to the improvement of my open-mindedness and expansion of outlook, but I would like to mark the topic of the American Revolution.

The killing of President John F. Kennedy was a blatant murder, not a random assassination executed by a man by the name of Lee Harvey Oswald.
