The signing of the Peace of Westphalia brought an end to the long a bloody Thirty Years War that ravaged Germany for three decades. The treaty was signed in 1648 and it offered a freedom of religion that was not offered in the Peace of Augsburg. This treaty also took power away from the Church and it would never again be allowed to be the dominant power in Europe.2 The German Princes could finally have control over their country without the Catholic Church.3 The problem began with the Peace of
dispute between Italy and Greece. When Italian General Enrico Tellini, and three other soldiers, went to settle the dispute, they were ambushed and killed. These assassinations led to Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator, ordering a naval bombardment of Corfu. The Greeks then turned to the League of Nations. The League condemned Italy’s actions and told them to evacuate the territory. When Mussolini refused to do so, the League reassessed its decision and forced Greece to apologize and pay reparations
envoys had sent to Emperor Yongle (Doc D). Although lions and leopards and other animals should be looked over, there is no reason why Zheng He should have had a crew that big. In document C it states, “Soldiers, petty officers, sailors, sail makers, caulkers, anchormen, horse groomers, rudder operators, business managers, cooks, servants, interpreters- 26,803.” Having soldiers, horse groomers, and servants seem unnecessary considering that they are already serving the Emperor.

They were Holy Roman Emperors from 1430 to 1806 and kings of Spain from 1516 to 1700, and held many other titles. In the time of Louis XIII and cardinal Richelieu Ferdinand II (1578-1637) and Ferdinand III(1608-1657) as holy Roman emperor and Philip IX(1605-1665) in Spain. Louis XIII was from the Valois-Bourbon linage in France who had been rivals of the
Japan was devastated and with very little days to recuperate, they were struggling to explain what had just happened. Before they knew it, a second bomb had been deployed and there was no time to think. Japan was flabbergasted. The only thing the emperor knew he could do to save his country from any further damage, was to surrender. So the question remains, was this just? On
During the era of the weak emperor Taisho (1912-26), the political power shifted from the oligarchic clique (genro) to the parliament and the democratic parties. In the First World War, Japan joined the Allied powers, but played only a minor role in fighting German colonial forces in East Asia. At the following Paris Peace Conference of 1919, Japan's proposal of amending a "racial equality clause" to the covenant of the League of Nations was rejected by the United States, Britain and Australia.

There are over seventy different ethnic groups within Ethiopia's mountains. The dominant group were the Amharas. Selassie was an Amharic, and the government traditionally
Bismarck that France would not have an ally with Austria and that in any case of a Russian attack, she would not be fighting it alone. However, Austria’s stubbornness in reconciling with Russia led to the revival of the old Three Emperors’ League and renaming it as the new Three Emperors’ Alliance of 1881 with Russia and Austria. This Alliance therefore provided Bismarck with his desired 3 out of 5 grouping, where he believed it would be beneficial to be in a group of 3 in a five-player game. Consequently
the Failure of the League of Nations. World War II had a major impact on Europe Politically, which are the following: It caused Europe to have a weaker influence in the world, it caused Germany to split in half, the formation of the United Nations, and the division of Europe, between the Western nations and the communist Eastern bloc. The Treaty of Versailles was initiated by the meeting that was held in 1919. In this meeting Clemenceau of France, Woodrow
‘The pattern of alliances and agreements formed in Europe in the years 1879-1907 was shaped primarily by Germany’s concerns about its security.’ How far do you agree with this opinion? The alliances formed from 1879 to 1907 were primarily due to the security concerns of Germany, this is shown by German attempts to isolate France to prevent them from taking revenge for the Franco-Prussian war by trying to court Russia into an a permanent alliance with it and Austria and trying to prevent conflict
no small extent on the importance of his theme—the rise of Rome,” said by Frank William Walbank who wrote the book “Polybius”. Polybius lived in the critical period of the three Punic wars between Carthage and Rome and was present at the destruction of Carthage and Corinth. Also he is one of the officers in the Achaean League that works on the independence of Peloponnesus against the Romans.

The Taj Mahal was built by a Mongol emperor named Sahah Jahan. He wanted the Taj built for his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal, who was born in 1593. But his other wife Sahah Jahan (born in 1592), became the Mongol Emperor in 1628. They married in 1612 and had seven children. Only three years later his beloved wife died shortly after childbirth.
