.... Prussia, Russia, and Austria, but Prussia traded their land in Poland for Saxony (from Russia). The other powers became nervous about the growing power of Prussia, so Prussia, under the threat of a coalition against it, took only 2/5 of Saxony thereby keeping the balance of power intact. The Congress then created the German Confederation, similar to the Confederation of the Rhine, which was placed under the administrative power of Austria. After the Congress of Vienna, the four major powers began the first European Council where they would meet and discuss the keeping of peace in Europe, m .....

.... fined and/or imprisoned; 366 were killed.4 The reason why the Quakers were put through such torture was because their beliefs and culture was different from the Anglican Church. At that time, any religion that was practiced in England other than the Anglican Church would be persecuted. They believed that religion shouldn't be practiced in a church as much as in your heart. The differences that were between the Quakers and the Anglican Christians was that the Anglicans practiced strict discipline in their prayers. They would go to prayer every morning, and ask for forgiveness of their sins .....

.... just how powerful capital was. Rockefeller earned his fortune in the oil industry. It was also in the oil industry that he earned his title of robber baron. Rockefeller is known for his oil monopoly which at once controlled 95% of the world oil market. His oil business started with refining. Rockefeller knew that oil drilling was very expensive and he figured that he would let some one else spend millions to blindly drill into the ground looking for black gold while he could make millions refining the black gold. Rockefellow first started with refining oil into carosien .....

.... but a few days later the demonstration grew and became stronger in the process. On March 11, troops were ordered by government officials to end the riots, but instead of restoring order the soldiers stood by or even joined in the chaos. The desertion of the local army caused the government to crumble. Czar Nicholas II resigned office March 15 not only from the enormous popular action but also from his brother, Michael, handing over the power to the “Provisional Government” formed by the Duma two days prior. The provisional government of liberals and temperate socialists succeeded t .....

.... they believed in. The church was the most important thing in peoples’ lives during this era and most of Hopkins’ work were about things that went against the church and its beliefs. Even though people did not accept his poems during his time, they are very well accepted now and are considered masterpieces of his era. Hopkins’ work was very different from what was expected. This reflects how different his era was and how much change it went through. Hopkins’ era was about change and pushing away from the norm. The reason that Hopkins’ work was not very well accepted by .....

.... power to enforce its laws, instead depending on voluntary compliance by the states. In place of executive and judicial branches, The Articles created an inefficient committee system branching out of Congress. Most importantly, any amendment to the required the ratification by all the states, a measure that virtually eliminated any chance of change. The negatives of The Articles gradually magnified. The British refused to evacuate from forts in the American Old Northwest. Finally, Shay's rebellion in Massachusetts symbolized the feebleness of the nation, and inadequacy of the . Although .....

.... these images are aimed at discouraging the mere thought of war. In the second stanza Owen is describing a gas attack on the soldiers as they are trudging back to camp. Owen describes the soldiers fumbling to get their mask fastened, all but one, a lone soldier. He is struggling to get his mask on but doesn’t get it fastened quick enough and suffers from the full effects of deadly gas: Gas! Gas! Quick boys!-An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime... Dim, through the misty .....

.... conditions. In fact, the boom in the stock market and in real estate, along with the expansion in credit (created, in part, by low-paid workers buying on credit) and high profits for a few industries, concealed basic problems. Thus the U. S. stock market crash that occurred in October 1929, with huge losses, was not the fundamental cause of the Great Depression, although the crash sparked, and certainly marked the beginning of, the most traumatic economic period of modern times. By 1930, the slump was apparent, but few people expected it to continue; previous financial PANICS and depressi .....

.... themselves against the civilians of Japan as well. It was also a fact that the Japanese government had been equipping the commoners with any kind of weapon they could get their hands on. It is true that this could mean a Japanese citizen could have anything from a gun to a spear, but many unsuspecting soldiers might have fallen victim to a surprise spear attack! The number of deaths that would have occurred would have been much greater, and an invasion would have taken a much longer period of time. The Japanese would have continued to fight the US with all of what they had; spears, guns, k .....

.... Lesseps thought he was smarter than all the engineers beneath his command (Dolan). De Lesseps overrode all opposition of his sea-level canal due to his very popular reputation. He was sold on the idea of a sea-level canal and would not listen to the ideas of others such as French engineer, Adolphe Godin de Lepinary. De Lepinary's idea was to create two large lakes on either side of the mountains. In order to do this they would have to dam the Chagres River on the Atlantic side and the Rio Grande River on the pacific side (Considine). Although as time went on more than just a poor director h .....
