In the early years of the war Britain quickly experienced a crisis with ammunition supplies. The army fired off shells much faster than the industry could produce them.

“ The courage of women in the munitions factories has never been sufficiently recognized. They had to work under conditions of real danger to life and limb, and what some of them dreaded still more, of grotesque disfigurement some of the pearls of the shell filling factories was toxic jaundice resultin ...

... the tyrannical rule it held over the Cubans. The treaty was not honored
however, and resistance was again put up in 1885.
The Spanish king at the time Alfonso XIII, encouraged the use of concentration camps for
revolutionaries caught in battle. The Cuban Revolution became extremely bloody due to the use of

Abstract On Communist Mannifes
... produce more goods in a shorter period of time. In a capitalist society the owners of the land, machines, and factories, known at the time as the Bourgeois, would reap all the benefits from this increase in production. Within this complex economic model the rich would get richer while the poor would continue to face a life of poverty.
What Marx believed in was that the laborers themselves should reap the fruits of their labor not the capitalist bourgeois. In order to accomplish this the ownership of all capital must be redistributed from the upper-middle class to all the people including the laborers. He also believed that the bourgeois was no longer morally fit to ...

The eve of the New Year is perhaps the most exciting part of the event, as anticipation creeps in. Here, traditions and rituals are very carefully observed in everything from food to clothing.

Delicacies include prawns, for liveliness and happiness, dried oysters (or ho xi), for all things good, raw fish salad ...

Egyptain Foreign Policy In Reg
... State, and the Western Nation in this conflict. Also, I wish to pay particular attention to the question of who, or what brought these countries into conflict. Were they both victims of their situation, or did they become actively involved in promoting conflict, or perhaps a third party source, such as the US pushed them into conflict?
In 1948, the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel was read by David Ben-Gurion in Tel Aviv. The Egyptians, like most of the Arab states saw this as a creation of a Western State, backed by the British Empire, and thus an imperialistic entity in the Arab homeland. Considering the past 20 years of the Egyptian st ...

Ku Klux Klan 3
... Ku Klux Klan became a part of everyday life for many Southerners. In the beginning the Ku Klux Klan was started to be a way for people who had the same views to spend time together. The original members meant of the Ku Klux Klan to be a "hilarious social club" that would be full of aimless fun (Invisible Empire, p.9), though in later years the Ku Klux Klan became known for their violence against people outside the white race and people who associated with them. Contrary to what most people believe, the Ku Klux Klan was started because of a few people wanted to have some innocent fun, not because they were intending to start a chain of violence on anyone outside the ...

Report On Historical Fiction B
... completed their purpose superbly. The daily life of the characters is described so well that it would be possible to reconstruct exactly what they did, and the author did this in such a way that the book is never boring and I was never compelled to skip parts. An example of the amazing description is on page 70, where Torka and his family, Lonit, Umak, and Karana, build a pit hut in the snow with mammoth bones and animal skins. The many hunts the characters go out on are shown in great detail, as in the first hunt when the hunters prepare by clothing themselves in caribou hide and antlers, soak their skin in caribou juice from the hides, and stalk the prey acros ...
