.... numbered 1,200,000. It was the addition of troops from the United States that made it possible to defeat German forces numbering about 2.5 million. Army organization for all the belligerents remained the same as it had been throughout the 19th century. They all had similar infantry and cavalry divisions, artillery brigades, engineering companies, supply units, and medical units. The advances in technology that had been made since the American Civil War were not sufficient to tip the balance either way. Both sides made use of airplanes, tanks, radio, machine guns, and other inventions. Th .....

.... these reservations try to preserve the “old way of life.” Another thing taken from the Indians of Americas was their way of life. One thing almost all people hold close to their heart is their way of life whatever it may be. The Indians however were persecuted for their beliefs and either killed or converted to the “Spanish Catholicism” or many other varying ways of life. This conversion did not take place peacefully. Many resisting Indians died for their cause. The Indians of the Americas could no longer hunt and gather food freely. Nor could they farm just for their community .....

.... the church. Because of the story of creation, Darwinism would have been immediately rejected only a few centuries earlier. People used Darwinism as a weapon to strike at the validity of the powerful religious institutions of the period. It was because of the many drastic changes in the beliefs of the people and the advancement of the logical world that Darwinism was well accepted as a scientific truth. Beyond the exact definition of Darwinism, many people found personal applications to the scientific doctrine. Not only was survival of the fittest an established truth in nature, it .....

.... hunt only out of necessity for food. The deer hunt scene shows the animals as being stronger than humans, while the lion hunt scene shows the animals as being weak as compared to King Ashurbanipal. The two adult deer are much larger than any of the humans in the first scene. Humans are usually slightly taller than most deer, but here the deer are drawn about twice as tall as the humans. It also takes several humans with weapons to hunt the deer. In the lion scene, all of the lions have been killed or injured by arrows. The only person in the scene with a bow and arrows is King Ashurb .....

.... father went to an "aerial meet" at Daugherty Field in Long Beach. She had become very interested in flying. The next day, given a helmet and goggles, she boarded the open-cockpit biplane for a 10 minute flight over Los Angeles. Amelia had heard of a woman pilot who gave flying instructions and shortly afterwards began lessons with Anita "Neta" Snook at Kinner Field near Long Beach. She had several accidents during this period, some could be attributed to unreliable engines and slowness of the planes. By October 1922, Amelia began participating in .....

.... leadership of the Party are as significant to the Black freedom struggle as more widely known leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. A typical American history high school textbook not only neglects to mention Huey Newton but also disregards the existence of the Black Panthers altogether. Therefore, we must open this missed chapter in American history and discover the legacy and story of Huey P. Newton. Huey's experiences growing up were centered in his conception of the Black Panthers. Unlike King and many other civil rights leaders who were religious Southerners, from middle class and .....

.... Even though it was passed through Congress, Jackson vetoed it claiming that it was unconstitutional but it was declared constitutional by the Marshall in 1819 during the McCulloch vs. Maryland case. This was one of many vetoes made by Jackson under the executive branch. Even though the charter was vetoed it was still valid for four more years and since Jackson abhorred the national bank, he schemed to destroy it by pulling out funds and creating many state-chartered banks which came to be called, “wild cat” or pet banks.” This was a bad decision however because these banks’ instab .....

.... I do not agree with the historian that Zerubavel talks about in his writings. I feel that Halbwach’s view of history expressed as “”. is what gives a society is goals that they must seek in the future. It also creates a bond between the people of that society. As a result it leads to these people wanting to settle together in a nation-state. The Zionist movement is an example of something caused by . Through generations the Diaspora and other events in the lives of Jews have been passed on, which eventually led Jews to create a homeland in 1948. Vladimir Jabotinsky states t .....

.... impulse toward imperialism in US foreign policy, especially in the case of the US's war against the Filipinos. Carnegie taunted the advocates of President William McKinley's war policy by asking, "Is it possible that the American Republic is to be placed in the position of the suppressor of the Philippine struggle for independence?" He then went so far as to offer to buy the island nation from the US for $20 million in order to grant its citizens complete independence. His offer was refused. Carnegie's proclaimed regard for the betterment of man may have struck those familiar with his d .....

.... nominees are selected at the parties' national conventions by a simple majority of the delegates previously chosen either at state conventions or elected in primaries. After the official nomination the election campaign begins, continuing until Election Day, the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in leap years. Voters are registered and the party machinery drums up support, trying to win floating voters over etc. On Election Day the electorate votes not for the presidential candidates themselves but for those presidential electors (members of the Electoral College) who have ple .....
