Early modern Western Europe faced political changes from 1500-1750. These were based on three main political ideas: monarchy, balance of power, and religious reforms. The main type of government became monarchies, which had one main ruler and a parliament. The parliament was a group of state-elected legislatures, used to represent the citizens. Document five, Political Craft and Craftiness on page 420-421, explains the qualities that Machiavelli thought that a prince should have to be a proper prince. In the past, empires had one ruler and that was it, which meant that the citizens had no say in what was going on in the government. This made the process of law-making more fair than if just one person were making all of the decisions. Balance…

• The movement of people greatly altered our world. Nomadic groups such as the Turks, Mongols, and Vikings, for instance, interacted with settled people—often because of their technology—leading to further change and development. One of the worst epidemic diseases in history, the bubonic plague (or Black Death), spread during this period due to the movement of people and their increased interaction.…
Because of the Berlin Conference in Europe, the scramble for African land ended up colonizing inhabited areas in Africa, destroying native nations and their traditional culture. During this time, African natives had many different reactions. Some wanted to cooperate peacefully, others wanted to withstand European pressure, but most of all, most Africans wanted to react violently and rebel against the Europeans.…
In the 1840’s the discovery of gold in California blew up extremely, in the way that many people believed they could make a fortune by finding gold on their own; to be exact it was January 24, 1848 when James W. Marshall saw something that appeared to be shiny -near Sutter Creek Coloma, California- in which, unexpectedly, it turned out to be gold. At the time of his discovery Marshall was overseeing construction, on the American River, of a sawmill. Therefore, the discovery of gold in California brought attention to the Chinese men. They came to California for cheap labor at gold mines in California. Also, they were greeted very well and were accepted…
History, a record of past events and developments, which are usually in chronological order that define who and what we are today. Now days, history is changing so rapidly and life seems to be stuck in fast forward. Usually when people think of the word history, they often think of big events, when truly everything you do is making up history. Even reading this paper is history in the making. And as a human it is our duty to know and analyze our past to make sure repetition of our downfalls doesn’t happen. It is crazy to think about how different times are now than what they were in ancient times. But even back then things were very diverse. For example, Athens and Han China were like night and day. The way in which they ruled their…
However, some immigrants did not migrate voluntarily; they might have migrated by force such as the African Americans during the Slave trade. Because of these migrations from many other countries, the United States is where it is today because of all the influences of various groups of people in this…
The distance characteristics for this specific migration varied greatly; there was people coming from everywhere just to go to the new land of Israel. There were people that were Holocaust survivors looking for a new home, Jews fleeing from Arab lands, and more. Usually when you migrated at this time period you went on foot. You can imagine how hard it is to travel like that: scarce of food and water, tired all the time, traveling all day. It was very hard for them to travel but they did anything they could to get to Israel.…

The partition of India in August 1947 was a highly controversial event and has led to widespread speculation regarding its causes and consequences. Orthodox historians credit the creation of Pakistan to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the leader of the All India Muslim League, and his determination to create a sovereign state for Indian Muslims. However, this view has been contested by a number of historians, who place responsibility for the partition on the political manoeuvring of the Congress and the constitutional reforms of the British Raj. Existing communal tensions and Hindu-Muslim differences have also been blamed for the split. Revisionist historians question whether Jinnah even wanted partition and have suggested that the 'Pakistan' demand was simply a bargaining counter to gain recognition for Muslims. I am going to analyse each interpretation of the event and question the true causes for partition.…
It all started back in 1947. All regions of Pakistan and India were divided along religious lines. Because of its location, Kashmir could not choose to either join India or Pakistan. Maharaja Hari Singh, the ruler of Kashmir, was Hindu while most of the population was Muslim. Unable to decide which region to join, Maharaja Hari Singh decided to remain neutral.…
