"I was the lucky one, there some are just finding there love ones". When Ellen said these words the only thing I could think of saying is "how bad can it be? There was 54 of your family died by gun shots, rape, starvation, burned, and all you can say is you was the lucky one." and her response was "A lot of my mother's, and father's friend didn't survive and others are mentally ill.

The Invention Of The Atomic Bomb And Its Use
.... for the first time, and they realized that they succeeded inventing the first atomic bomb. How was it a milestone? I will explain the mechanism and the power of the atomic bomb. Ronald Takaki explains the principle of it in his book. "There is an atom that releases two neutron at the same time absorbing the one, when a neutron causes a nuclear fission. Much uranium causes a chain reaction of such a nuclear fission, and huge energy is released."(26) The atomic bomb is the weapon that utilizes the energy. According to Takashi Hiraoka, the energy par one kilo ton of uranium corresponds to it par fifteen kg of TNT powder. Even B29, wh .....

End Of The Cold War
.... Europe the replacement of communism did not produce a swift and painless transition which was expected. In fact some of the Eastern countries found the Western way so hard it sent them back to communism. Yeltzin’s Russia also began to gain power and raise western fears. All this raised issues in the west. The disarmament process slowed down and attempts to devise some form of European security which could cope with the recovering Russia were dwindling. The process of d4eveloping links with the satellites was becoming hard. Also the Bosnia crisis continued to drag on and Western Europe failed to gain significant credit or inf .....

The Italian Renaissance
.... focused on religion. People were painted flat, rigid, and all different sizes according to levels of importance. The paintings were symbolic from corner to corner. Artists of the Middle Ages almost never signed their names, because that was not what was important. In the Renaissance, every painting and sculpture was signed. The Art from the Renaissance was not at all extended from the Middle Ages.
Woman in Renaissance society had total different objectives than the woman from the Middle Ages. As most would think that the woman’s status would have rose in this period of prosperity, it actually declined for the most part. I .....

Earthquakes, Armageddon, And The Dead Sea Scrolls
.... an actual place in Northern Israel and future battle of the Apocalypse as stated in the book of Revelations. He also indicated that this was the single most escavated spot in the Holy Land. Mr. Nur gave three reasons for this: 1.) because of religious and biblical connotations 2.) what is discovered is very complicated 3.) the location (only place horses and chariots could cross into Egypt, so, very important in battles. He stated that structures at Armageddon had been built over and over again, leading him to believe that the constant rebuilding was because of earthquakes. There is a fault that runs right by this spot and it .....

The Holocaust
.... about others pinpoints likenesses instead of differences which leads to better understanding. Students will also learn to identify the events leading to a similar tragedy and stop them before it is too late. A recent poll of historians shows that 75% of historical events are repeated. The Holocaust is an event that we do not want repeated so a certain social group will not have to re-live the past. My grandmother lived through World War II and the Holocaust and watched the events leading up to it, we need students to understand these events through the English I class since they do not have the personal experience. By .....

World War I
.... stop and board merchantmen, but this rule could hardly apply to the U-boats. These new weapons posed a serious threat to the United States, at this point still a neutral nation. Berlin officials declared that they would try not to sink neutral shipping but still warned that mistakes could possibly occur. In order to continue to claim profitable neutral trading rights, Wilson was determined to stick to his risky policy but meanwhile warned Germany that it would be held accountable for any attacks on American ships or lives.
The first major incident involving a submarine that challenged U.S. neutrality was the Lusitania crisis. The .....

Medical Experiments In The Holocaust
.... Aryan race of blond hair and blue eyes. Nazis justified experimentation on concentration camps inmates, with the rationalization that these individuals were already destined to die (Dodd).
Birkenau housed the bulk of the so-called medical laboratories. There the Nazis conducted dozens of experiments, mostly by people with little or no medical training, under the supervision of German doctors (Berenbaum 390).
As I mentioned before, there were two main purposes the Nazis preformed medical experiments. (1) Experiments whose objectives were compatible with professional medical ethics and propose of medical practice, but whose .....

England's Territorial Expansion
.... passing even more laws, but this time they were in order to control, rather than tax, the colonists. The first of these decrees was the Declaratory Act in 1766. This law stated that England had the right to pass any laws they wanted and the colonists would have to obey them. In order to test this mandate, Maritime courts and the Writs of Assistance were used. These institutions were restricting the civil liberties of the settlers and the people were not happy with this. A lawyer named James Otis wrote a criticism on the Writs of Assistance, which caused quite a stir throughout the public. The animosity towards England was quickly g .....

To What Extent Was Britain On The Verge Of A Civil War In 1914?
.... to crush uprisings, which led to sympathy strikes in other pits. Though, as T.O. Lloyd points out, these early strikes did not seriously affect the Liberal government (evidence of which is shown in the 1910 election results), the worst was yet to come.
In 1911 a Dockers strike in Southampton and subsequent sympathy strikes in other ports led to widespread rioting, looting and bloodshed. Troops were brought in by the government in the South Wales coal strike (October 1910- June 1911) and soldiers opened fir near Llanelli, killing two men. This led to immediate outrage, and by introducing armed forces into an industrial dispu .....

The Vietnam Era
.... just gave up. They were more concerned what other people thought than what he thought. Many parents could not understand their kids because their lives were so different. It was more than just a gender gap. The generation of the Vietnam Era changed the way our contry worked. They changed the dress codes, the music and even the laws.
Hippies lived by the concepts of free-love, racial equality and peace. These principles marked a great change in society. The spirit of the Vietnam Era lives on today. This generation experienced what no other had ever gone through or has since. The Vietnam Conflict was on the television dail .....
