Caesar's principles were to keep his forces united; to be vulnerable at no point, to strike speedily at critical points; to rely on moral factors, such as his reputation and the fear he inspired, as well .....

.... was not well liked by the South and eventhough it was given thumbs up many times in the senate, our newly formed country was now bordered by fresh land. The Wilmot Proviso underwent quite a bit of pressure so that compromises could satisfy each side. The Compromise of 1850 was soon to follow but the real catch of the same year was the Fugitive Slave Act. This act was invented so that the slaves of slaveowners, who took them to a slave-free state on a vacation or something, could not escape.

For example, Semitic cultures succeeding Hammurabi's rule used some of the same laws that were included in Hammurabi's code. Hammurabi's method of thought is evident in present day societies which are influenced by his code. Modern governments currently create specific laws, which are placed into their appropriate family of similar laws. Hammurabi had his laws recorded upon an eight foot h .....

.... in the early years of World War II brought the majority of European Jewry under the Nazis. The Jews were deprived of human rights. The Jewish people were forced to live in Ghetto's which were separated from the main city. Hitler's plan of genocide was carried out with efficiency.

.... the work of art with ideal, intangible qualities, endowing it with a beauty and significance greater and more permanent than that actually found in nature. Artists such as Donatello in sculpture, Masaccio in painting and Fillipo Brunelleschi in architecture were part of this period. Masaccio for instance gave figures the “illusion” of live beings when characters and reactions were individualized. He also made use of perspective by exploring linear (a vanishing point), and atmospheric perspective (effects produced from a single light source). He also made use of gradations or ligh .....

.... was a part of his mission to not only help the people financially, but also try to lift their spirits in this time of gloom. The president then turned his attention to industry and farm workers. He enforced strict regulation of business and provided money for public buildings, bridges and tunnels through the National Industry Recovery Act. The Agricultural Adjustment Act compensated farmers for not producing at the top of their ability. This was to help raise both wages and prices of commodity and farm products.

.... of the history of Shintoism, Amaterasu’s origin differs. These two scriptures are the Nihon shoki and the Kojiki. Nihon shoki states that she was the child of Izanagi and Izanami, the first Shinto gods. The Kojiki states that Amaterasu was born from Izanagi’s left eye.

One day Amaterasu briefly hid herself in a cave when offended by her brother Susano-o's scandalous behavior. When she hid the universe became dark and chaos broke out. The other god .....
