... in the fur trading industry, which caused many problems between different European nations and different native tribes. Therefore, the trading of fur allowed early seven- teenth century French explorers to establish peaceful relations with the Natives, however, com- petitive trading also incited much quarreling between competing colonies and Indian tribes. Since the early seventeenth century, French explorers had been able to keep peaceful relations with the Native Americans as a result of fur trading. Samuel de Champlain was a French explorer who established one of the first trading posts along the St. Lawrence River. He helped to establish an indus ...
... the 20th century came around Cleveland was proud to be the 7th largest city in the nation with 381,768 people. Although Cleveland never became the largest city in the nation, the closest they got was 5th with 900,429 people. Interesting enough, even though that was the highest position Cleveland ever got, that wasn’t the highest the population ever was. In 1950 the population was 914,808 which put them in 7th place. With large populations came major events. The first major event for Cleveland is one that now is a regular occurrence. A year after it was founded, the first wedding was held in the settlement of Cleaveland. In 1803 mail service was extended to Cleve ...
... has to be done in order to get a surrender. This also shows conventional weapons are not proving to be effective and something more potent is required. The tremendous shock of the blast will precipitate a swift surrender. Enough American lives have already been lost and in the long run, the bomb will cost fewer lives. The attack on Iwo Jima alone has cost us 25000 casualties and nearly 7000 deaths, a rather high price to pay for an eight-square-mile island. Okinawa cost us even more, we received 50000 casualties while the Japanese suffered 100000. Too many American lives have already been lost with just the acquirement of two islands, it is not wort ...
... and to give the thrown to Rama. Everyone seems to be pleased by this because everyone loves Rama. This plan fulfills the rules of dharma because the eldest son should rule, and if the son can take over his father’s responsibilities, the father must spend his last years in search for moksha. However, the king’s second wife, and Rama’s stepmother, is not pleased at all. She wants her son Bharata to rule. And because of an oath that Dasharatha had made to her years ago, she gets the king to agree to banish Rama for fourteen years and to crown Bharata, even though the king begs her not to make such requests. Broken hearted, the king can not face Rama with t ...
... developed by free choices made by the Korean government. However, China was always ready to step in if Korea seemed to get to powerful or weak. Cummings makes this relationship sound as if everything was all right as long as Korea depended on the aid of China and respected China’s dominance of the region. Japan although at times respected China’s power believed that if Korea would consider themselves equal to China Japan could take the role of the regional superpower. Japan also, at times thought they were superior to both China and Japan and should incorporate them both into the Japanese empire and at times had been fairly successful in dong so. Many fa ...
... when that freedom was denied they withdrew from the Union. The Union, on the other hand, viewed the South as a group of radicals making an attempt to dissolve the unity of states that their ancestors had worked so hard to create. As a result they felt their freedom of unity and nationhood had been taken away. It is difficult to say who was in the right, but when all of the negotiations had been exhausted, war was the result. In this case there was no other option because both sides believed in their cause. Gen. William T. Sherman said ³War is Hell², and that quote has remained famous because even though simple, it is accurate. American men spent weeks at a ti ...
... on vacant lots. Fashion styles became more simpler. The Depression made people turn their backs on their families. Many people lost their homes. Some families had it worse than others. People who lost their jobs couldn’t afford proper medical care or food. This caused many people to turn to relief, which is government support to help families get through the month. Relief was a sign of laziness and an embarrassment to the parents and children. Even with the support of the government many children were malnutrition and many people died of starvation. People fought for food in the streets and even though there were food shelters to help peopl ...
... reigns of the commonwealth to his only male heir Charles, who at the age of 25 still had no wife, and therefore was not bringing any legitimate heirs to the throne with him (Chapman 17). Charles I was a firm believer in divine right. During his reign he rarely asked for help, believing his decisions as those ordained by god (Kagan 451). As stated by Howard Tomlinson: “The most high and sacred order of kings is of divine right, being the ordinance of God himself, founded in the prime laws of nature, and clearly established by expressed texts both of old and new testaments” (4). During the reign of Charles I problems with parliament escalated to a point at whic ...
... against striking miners which resulted in at least two deaths (Forbes an Hewlett, 1998, p.17). During the 1960’s the political parties of the left were sorely divided which hit them hard during the elections as low support showed. The problem the left had was the dominant position that the communist party (PCF) had always held, this made it difficult to create a large socialist government. It was in the 1970’s that the PS started to make concerted efforts to end this period of dominance. The PS proceeded to ally with the communists rather than fight against them, The agreement they came to was called the Common Program and came into place in 1972. This ...
... Sherman's Atlanta Campaign. http://americancivilwar.com/tl/tl1863.html The Battles of Chattanooga, in the U.S. Civil War, were a series of engagements fought around Chattanooga, Tenn., in September and November 1863. The Confederates were commanded by Braxton Bragg, and the Union forces were first under William S. Rosecrans, then George H. Thomas, and finally Ulysses S. Grant.

Bragg threw an incomplete siege around Chattanooga and detached troops to attack Knoxville. Gran ...
