... she was Jewish. She stayed locked up in the attic of the warehouse for almost twenty-five months, never being able to step outside. Such repression and life of fear would make almost any teenager completely depressed and more miserable that words could express. However, Anne managed to keep hope for a better tomorrow and her respect for the human race. Anne made a very powerful statement in her last words. To truly believe such a thing after being abused by the Nazis is quite remarkable indeed. I am very sure that most people, including myself, would have thought that the world was a completely corrupt and humans are naturally cruel if they’d have gon ...

... His father made him his ambassador to Athens when he was eighteen. Two years later he became the King of Macedonia. During this time the Greek states had become restless under Macedonian rule. While Alexander was away fighting, the people of Thebes seized the opportunity and revolted. When Alexander returned he attacked the city and destroyed almost everything in sight. This dissipated any further attempts at rebellion and Alexander quickly united the Greek cities and formed the League of Nations, of which he became president. Soon after this victory, Alexander set out to conquer Persia. On the banks of the Granicus River Alexander quickly defeated the Persian tr ...

... FINANCE REFORM IN THIS SESSION OF CONGRESS?" My answer is that the chances of this are slim to none, however, this answer is somewhat incomplete. Allow me to expand upon this by first, citing past evidence of questionable campaign fund raisers. Second, I will use the examples to explain WHY we need a reform. And finally, I will describe how the recent take off on this large issue has ensured its eventual resolution. First, allow me to cite examples of corrupt campaign financing. The campaiging 'business' is not a cheap enterprise. The money that is required to publish and distribute phamplets, hire campaign workers, and buy airtime from the media is enourmous ...

... to be executed. Caesar was not harmed but he was ordered by Sulla to divorce Cornelia. Caesar refused that order and left Rome to join the army (Lindsay Salo) (Comptons Encyclopedia). This was the beginning of an astonishing military career. He became second in command of the province Asia (Turkey) (Lindsay Salo). In two years he proved his bravery and superior skills at arms. After these years and Sulla's resignation in 78 BC, Julius decided to return to Rome. There he served as an officer in Crassus's army against Spartacus, Caesar climbed steadily in the government by serving as an official in many provinces (Internet Explorer). After the death of his wife ...

... of his birth, birthplace, facts concerning Wallace’s elimination of English tyranny in Scotland, and the roles Wallace played in battles with the English. In this paper I am going to show the conflicting views about William Wallace’s life. I will use a wide variety of sources including the movie Braveheart’s script, Internet web pages, and written history in order to support my thesis. I will conclude with the fact that William Wallace was truly a worthy patriot of his native country Scotland. He fearlessly led his fellow patriots into battle, and gained freedom for Scotland from the tyrannical rule of the English King, Edward I. In May of 1995 the f ...

... subsequently reflected in his poetry. His father died when he was eight and his mother when he was fourteen; these sad circumstances drew him particularly close to his two brothers, George and Tom, and his sister Fanny. (Kipperman 246). As an orphan, he became a surgeon's apprentice before enrolling, in 1815, as a student at Guy's Hospital. He registered for a sixth-month course of study required for him to become a licensed surgeon and apothecary. Soon after he had came to a conclusion that he was not going to be a doctor as a profession, his true passion was in poetry (computer). Though some of his early poetry which was written when he was twenty just six ye ...

... not only in the importance of the navy as a fighting force but also as a tool of national policy. Philiip A. Crowl's assessment of is skeptical at best. He gives credit only where credit is absolutely due and never in the form of compliment. Crowl believed "Mahan's failure as a logican (and therefore as a historian) was the direct result of his methodology: he began his labors with an insight, a light dawning on his ‘inner consciousness'; the insight hardened into a predetermined conclusion; facts were then mustered as illustration and proof." Crowl goes on to argue that "There was no pretense on the historian's part to scientific objectivity, n ...

... died in the Great War, Ian was almost nine. Winston Churchill wrote the obituary for the Times. Fleming's mother, Evelyn St. Croix Rose Fleming, inherited Valentine's large estate in trust, making her a very wealthy woman. The trust, though, cut her out if she ever re-married. This provision virtually guaranteed that she would remain forever Valentine's widow, regardless of other loves or circumstances. The knowledge of Ian's late father's looming wealth, and Ian's lack of access to it was bound to make the young Fleming feel disinherited. The unattainable Fleming fortune and high achievements of Valentine and Peter, Ian's older brother, seem to have ...
