“Definitely”, said Tayo.
“What if the wars that helped us get here today never happened. Where would we stand in the world we live in today? What are the most significant wars, and where would we be without them? Without these wars, the world we know today would be very different. The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire is not only one of the notable events within the early exploration and conquest of the land, but it is one of the most significant phenomenon to have ever occurred in the history. In general, the conquest displayed the impact of European scrutiny on the New World and the outcomes of the Age of Explorat

“Anyone got knowledge about Charlemagne or king Charles?” Randough asked.“Everyone has heard of King Charles, but what everyone does not know is he was also known as Karl or Charlemagne.” Simb replied him. Mrs Ayodele casted a stern gaze at the students.“Charlemagne and his sibling, Carloman, were both made King after their father, Pepin had passed away from dropsy in Paris near the Aquitanian War. Each King would have their part to govern. Charlemagne was assigned to rule the side that belonged to their father and Carloman was to rule the part their uncle, Carloman had governed. They

Bob walked briskly to the class podium.“You wanna talk about the Yorkshire ships?” Mrs. Ayodele asked.“Yes ma.”“Okay begin,”My historical topic for this paper will be on the Five Yorktown ships. The reason for this is two of the ships are world famous because of their time in both World Wars but the other three have been lost to history and I plan on bringing them back. These gallant ships were named after the Battle of Yorktown which took place in the Revolutionary War in Yorktown, VA. This is the spot that George Washington got his last chance to win the war. Which he did by boxing Lord Cornwallis in the harbor so he could not move forward or retreat. The historical lenses that will be used through out this paper w

“yes ma yo sound like sophie scholl,” andre said.“are you for real?” she asked.“okay, let me tell y’all a little from what I know about her. A Lutheran Christian, Sophie Scholl, was beheaded by the Nazis at twenty-one. Scholl was an anti-Nazi political activist. She was a member of the White Rose. The White Rose was a non-violent resistant group in Nazi Germany. The White Rose mission was to bring awareness to the citizens of Germany about what Hitler was doing to the Jews. Scholl and her brother Han’s were caught distributing leaflets opposing the Nazi party at the University of Munich. After being caught for high treason she was then arrested and beheaded by the Nazi’s in Germany at the young age of

“Well I definitely know some countries got the intentions of becoming a superpower,” Aaron said.“tell me about it”“America first came out of its isolationist shell and stepped onto the world stage in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and since then things have never been the same. After its victory over Spain, it had reached the top of the ladder of world prominence and was looking to play a part on the global level. It had a become a world-power with influence and a foothold in the affairs of the world, and with that came great power and responsibility. America’s ill-advised decisions, ambition and overbearing self-confidence, and the twisted desire to exert itself as a world power that was firm on its stance to contain communism and protect freedom and democracy h

“I remember a great speech by Theodore” she said.““in his wordings he said in one sense, the first essential for a man’s being a good citizen is his possession of the home virtues of which we think when we call a man by the emphatic adjective of manly. No man can be a good citizen who is not a good husband and a good father, who is not honest in his dealings with other men and women, faithful to his friends and fearless in the presence of his foes, who has not got a sound heart, a sound mind, and a sound body; exactly as no amount of attention to civil duties will save a nation if the domestic life is undermined, or there is lack of the rude military virtues which alone can assure a country’s position in the world. In a free republic the ideal citizen must be one willing and able to take arms for th

Dave walked closer to her."you know about winston churchhill?""yapp,from the moment that the French defenses at Sedan and on the Meuse were broken at the end of the second week of May, only a rapid retreat to Amiens and the south could have saved the British and French Armies who had entered Belgium at the appeal of the Belgian King; but this strategic fact was not immediately realized. The French High Command hoped they would be able to close the gap, and the Armies of the north were under their orders. Moreover, a retirement of this kind would have involved almost certainly the destruction of the fine Belgian Army of over 20 divisions and the abandonment of the whole of Belgium. Therefore, when the force and scope of the German penetration were realized and when a new French Generalissimo, General Weygand, assumed command in place of General Gamelin, an effort was made by the F

The never ending law suit continued."This brief explanation has been necessary because it is basic to a consideration to which few people, until now, have paid any attention - soldiers have a deep respect for the feelings of the majority of the people! During the Machado regime, in the same proportion as popular antipathy increased, the loyalty of the Army visibly decreased. This was so true that a group of women almost succeeded in subverting Camp Columbia. But this is proven even more clearly by a recent development. While Grau San Martín's regime was able to preserve its maximum popularity among the people, unscrupulous ex-officers and power-hungry civilians attempted innumerable conspiracies in the Army, although none of them found a following in the rank and file.The March 10th coup took place at the moment when the civil government's prestige had dwindled to its lowest ebb, a circumstance of which Batista and his clique took advantage.

The honourable judge got a bit angry at what he said. He could'nt hold his calmness." Why such interest in silencing me? Why is every type of argument foregone in order to avoid presenting any target whatsoever against which I might direct my own brief? Is it that they lack any legal, moral or political basis on which to put forth a serious formulation of the question? Are they that afraid of the truth? Do they hope that I, too, will speak for only two minutes and that I will not touch upon the points which have caused certain people sleepless nights since July 26th? Since the prosecutor's petition was restricted to the mere reading of five lines of an article of the Social Defense Code, might they suppose that I too would limit myself to those same lines and circle round them like some slave turning a millstone? I shall by no means accept such a gag, for in this trial there is much more than the freedom of a single individual at stake. Fundamental matters of princ

Having been bound by the law, he stood before the jury. he was banned to speak. However, his lawyer wasn't. he ambled before the deck, ready to defend his client's course."Honorable Judges,Never has a lawyer had to practice his profession under such difficult conditions; never has such a number of overwhelming irregularities been committed against an accused man. In this case, counsel and defendant are one and the same. As attorney he has not even been able to take a look at the indictment. As accused, for the past seventy-six days he has been locked away in solitary confinement, held totally and absolutely incommunicado, in violation of every human and legal right.He who speaks to you hates vanity with all his being, nor are his temperament or frame of mind inclined towards courtroom poses or sensationalism of any kind. If I have had to assume my own defense before this Court it is for two reasons. First, because I have been denied legal aid al

Papa Moses climbed up the pulpit. Humbled in spirit, he began to dish out the contents in his mind."ladies and gentlemen,Today, Sunday, in all parishes of the diocese,who so far have not suffered from war damage themselves, kept the collection I ordered for the residents of the city of Munster. I hope that through the intervention of the responsible state and municipal authorities and through the fraternal help of the Catholics of our diocese, whose donations the Caritas offices will administer and distribute, we will succeed in alleviating many needs.Thank goodness: For several days, new attacks by opponents of the war have not reached our city. But unfortunately I have to say it: The attacks by our opponents in the interior of the country, the beginning of which I discussed last Sunday in St. Lamberti, have been in the last week, regardless of our protests, regardless of the heartache that this causes those affected and prepared for their rel

“Describing an execution of an innocent man scene, how will you be like?” Chairman asked.Everyone expected something funny, it was time to laugh. Laughs.“Okay,I shall be very little heard of anybody here, I shall therefore speak a word unto you here.Indeed I could hold my peace very well, if I did not think that holding my peace would make some men think that I did submit to the guilt as well as to the punishment. But I think it is my duty to God first and to my country for to clear myself both as an honest man and a good King, and a good Christian.I shall begin first with my innocence.In truth I think it not very needful for me to insist long upon this, for all the world knows that I never did begin a War with the two Houses of Parliament. And I call God to witness, to whom I must shortly make an account, that I never did intend for to encroach upon their privileges.

"Some years later I returned to Warren. It seemed that the whole population was out for the occasion. I was received with open arms. I was no longer a demagogue; no longer a fanatic or an undesirable citizen. I had become exceedingly respectable simply because the Socialists had increased in numbers and socialism had grown in influence and power. If ever I become entirely respectable I shall be quite sure that I have outlived myself.It is the minorities who have made the history of this world. It is the few who have had the courage to take their places at the front; who have been true enough to themselves to speak the truth that was in them; who have dared oppose the established order of things; who have espoused the cause of the suffering, struggling poor; who have upheld without regard to personal consequences the cause of freedom and righteousness.It is they, the heroic, self-sacrificing few who have made the history of the race and who have pa

RALPH sipped from a mug."Let us review another bit of history. You remember Francis J. Heney, special investigator of the state of California, who was shot down in cold blood in the courtroom in San Francisco. You remember that dastardly crime, do you not? The United Railways, consisting of a lot of plutocrats and highbinders represented by the Chamber of Commerce, absolutely control the city of San Francisco. The city was and is their private reservation. Their will is the supreme law. Take your stand against them and question their authority, and you are doomed. They do not hesitate a moment to plot murder or any other crime to perpetuate their corrupt and enslaving regime. Tom Mooney was the chief representative of the working class they could not control. They own the railways; they control the great industries; they are the industrial masters and the political rulers of the people. From their decision there is no appeal. They are the autocrats of the Pacific coast&mdash
