The Irish Republican Army And British Rule
Number of words: 619 - Number of pages: 3.... a
thousand Irish men and women set out to capture Irelands freedom on that
April morning. Within six days the rising ended. The Irish had to
surrender after losing too many men. Afterwards the British brought the
leaders of the uprising before trial. Most of the leaders like Thomas
McDonagh, Patrick Pearce James Connolly and Thomas Clark were all executed
by a firing squad. Expect for de Valera, who was not executed because he
was an American and could not be killed by the British government. Others
that were connected with the rebellion were faced with long prison terms.

Muckrakers
Number of words: 1877 - Number of pages: 7.... Church. Also, early Abolitionist works--Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin and Helper's The Impending Crisis used muckraking to get a point across. However, events during the 1890s most directly paved the way for the critiques and exposures of existing conditions. This period was able to reach a limited upper class and the were able to expand appeal to the average middle class citizen (Reiger 49-50).
One reason for the outspread of muckraking was the explosion of journalism. From 1870-1909 the number of daily newspapers circulated boomed from 574 to 2,600 and the number of subscribers from 2,800 .....

The Civil War
Number of words: 769 - Number of pages: 3.... officer personnel. For twenty years before Lincoln’s inauguration, southern officers had dominated the US Army. Another source of southern confidence was cotton. Secession leaders expected to exchange that staple for the foreign manufactured goods they needed.
The South’s most important advantage was that it had only to defend relatively short interior lines against invaders who had to deal with long lines of communication and to attack a broad front. The Confederacy also had no need to divert fighting men to tasks such as garrisoning captured cities and holding conquered territory .....

Number of words: 754 - Number of pages: 3.... and balances and guarantees. Unfortunately, this political partnership and the internationally sanctioned regime lasted only three years.

The aim was to abrogate the constitution of the country through the use of force and bring about ENOSIS (annexation of Cyprus to Greece).

History Of Computer
Number of words: 2469 - Number of pages: 9.... operations can be performed (Soma, 14). The next innovation in computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented
the first "digital calculating machine". It could only add numbers and they had to be entered by turning dials. It was designed to
help Pascal’s father who was a tax collector (Soma, 32).In the early 1800Õs, a mathematics professor named Charles
Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and could store up to 1000 50-digit numbers. Built
in to his machine were operations that included everything a modern general-purpose compute .....

A Few Greek Gods
Number of words: 1911 - Number of pages: 7.... longstanding government, the morals and laws
of society leaked into Greek myths in the form of, "The slain shall be avenged
by Nemesis (a force which causes people to get revenge)," or just, "Kindness
and humbleness are rewarded by the gods." Some myths were even created to
support other myths. The myths started with storytelling and developed into
a
complex system of morals and explanations.
The Greek myths were almost
fruitless without the intervention of the gods. The gods controlled nature
and fought their own battles on the earth, which sometimes caused problems.
The first god .....

The Manhattan Project
Number of words: 1621 - Number of pages: 6.... Project was the code name for the US effort during World War
II to produce the atomic bomb. It was appropriately named for the
Manhattan Engineer District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, because much
of the early research was done in New York City. Sparked by refugee
physicists in the United States, the program was slowly organized after
nuclear fission was discovered by German scientists in 1938, and many US
scientists expressed the fear that Hitler would attempt to build a fission
bomb. Frustrated with the idea that Germany might produce an atomic bomb
first, Leo Szilard and other scie .....

Swan Lake Vs. Revelations
Number of words: 758 - Number of pages: 3.... The lighting covered the entire stage when many dancers were performing at the same time. When soloists performed, a spotlight was focused on them to draw all the attention to the dance.
The choreography in Ailey’s dance was very interesting. The dancers used the floor much more than Swan Lake. Swan Lake’s dance movements seemed to be very apart from the floor. The females were always on their toes up off of the floor. The males were always leaping up off of the floor. Revelations used the floor very much. It almost acted as an extension of the dancer.

A massive enrichment laboratory/plant was built in Oak ridge, Tennessee. H.C. Urey and other associates at Columbia University devised a system that separated the Uranium using the principle of gaseous diffusion.
