Colossae was a town settled in western Asia Minor or central Anatolia in the Lycus Valley. It was situated south of Hierapolis and southeast of Laodicea in the Phrygia region. It was a commerce and trading town, known for its red or purple dyed wool and rich lands. The town was situated on the main highway traveling from Ephesus to Sardis (Longman III, Enns, & Strauss, 2013, pp. 134-135, 330-334) (Brand, et al., 2015, p. 317) (Metzger & Coogan, The Oxford Guide To People & Places of The Bible, 2001)
History of Turkey. According to the Encyclopedia of Ancient History, Modern Turkey makes up a large portion of a geographic location that was known as Asia Minor or Anatolia. This area is in between the Black and Mediterranean Seas and is located on the most southwestern part of Asia. Modern Turkey has previously been referred to as a variation of nations because it has historically been populated by a variation of different cultures. The earliest mention of the Asia Minor region stems all the way
The nation of Turkey is a paradox in the eyes of many who seek a clean break between the West and its associated values and culture and those of the rest of the world. Often considered an example held to demonstrate that Islam and Western Values are not incompatible, Turkey seems to straddle a fine line between being distinctly westernized while remaining rooted thoroughly in the culture and values of the Middle East. Turkey is one of two nations designated by as electoral democracies in the Middle
Kurdish are an ancient people who about 4,000 thousand years ago started to trickle into Kurdistan in limited numbers to settle there.3 By the classical era in 300 b.c. the Kurds were already experiencing massive population movements that resulted in settlement and domination of many surrounding regions.5 Although they did at times rule over the land outside the mountains, for the most part, the Kurds home ended where the mountains ended. The Kurds as a distinct people have only survived in the mountains
hasty nor hesitant; he was neither reckless or afraid. He demonstrated toughness, restraint, and determination. He always exercised wisdom, analysis, and a keen sense of strategy; he was not only a leader but also a hero,” recall members of Kennedy’s former Administration when asked how well the President performed during the intense Cuban Missile Crisis.

said, “Water is the driving force of all nature.” Water has been the most essential and sought out resource of all time, giving birth to infinite civilizations and establishments that we see today. From the beginning of man, water has allowed the settlement, growth, and expansion of humankind to become possible. Mesopotamia began at the cradle of civilization at the Fertile Crescent and only became a true civilization through irrigation. The Assyrians (12th to 7th century BC) changed the locations
action and economic cost, or may prolong or even intensify the grievances which provoked conflict in the first place. In 1996, as Canada and the United States celebrated their mutual boundary as the longest undefended border in the world, Greece and Turkey nearly came to blows over a rocky island so small it scarcely had space for a flagpole.1 Both territorial questions had been raised as issues in peace treaties. The Treaty of Ghent in 1815 set the framework for the resolution of Canadian-American
what could have been the cause of the crisis we see today. We could learn ways to handle the Middle East better by basing plans off what we know from WW1. In order to answer this question I have used the following methods of researching in peace settlement books and novels that talk specifically about the treaty of Versailles effect during WW1. I also did some research on some online articles. In order to study this topic I used the following sources; A Piece to End All Piece written by David Fromkin

THESIS: There is strong evidence to see a footprint of the Turks in the New World. Hundreds of years ago, there were tales of a tri-racial people different from others. This tri-racial group of people was simply called mysterious. In eighteenth century Virginia this mysterious group was pushed and forced further west, higher up in the mountains as Scotch, Irish, English and other settlers moved into the area where the mysterious people had been living for centuries. Only one, yes, only one
terrorists, while nations such as Turkey, Russia and Switzerland do not. (King, 2010) Many factors are taken into consideration before a Nation-State denounces an organization as a “terrorist group”. A profile of HAMAS may help make clear why it is not uniformly denounced by all nations and with historical context, if they truly are freedom fighters in a resistance movement.

aware of the dichotomy between fact and fiction. This is brilliantly explained in David A. Price's, Love and Hate in Jamestown. Price describes a more robust account of events that really did take place in the poorly run, miserable, yet evolving settlement of Jamestown, Virginia; and engulfs and edifies the story marketed by Disney and others for young audiences. Price reveals countless facts from original documents about the history of Jamestown and other fledgling colonies, John Smith, and Smith's
the development and use of nuclear weapons. Political consequences included the reduction of Britain and France to powers of lesser rank, the emergence of the Common Market (see European Economic Community; European Union), the independence of many former colonies in Asia and Africa, and, perhaps most important, the beginning of the cold war between the Western powers and the Communist-bloc nations.
the ‘inner circle’ includes the native speakers of English (UK, USA Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand). The ‘outer circle’ includes speakers who use English as their second language in everyday communication, for instance administrators in former British colonies (India, Nigeria, etc). The ‘expanding circle’ refers to speakers who use English as a third language for specific purposes and learn it as a foreign language. This is the case in most less developed South Eastern European countries

Like any other medical care, dental care is important for our good and healthy life. As the world becomes ever more interdependent and competetive dental tourism is growing worldwide. Dental tourists travel abroad mainly for price considerations. Dental care providers in „developing countries“ provide dental care at significant cost savings when compared with their peers in the developed world. While medical tourism is often generalized to travel from high-income countries to low-cost developing
During the Cold War, NATO’s primary goal was to circumvent any aggression held by the iron-curtain countries. Military deterrence (by developing high-tech and nuclear weapons and locating them to the eastern frontier of the Alliance, Germany and Turkey) was the main strategy in preventing any large-scale attack from the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact countries. By the end of Cold War many debates were made and still is going on whether the Alliance completed its mission in the territory. In
