Iowa was transformed to a fully functioning state by the pioneers because they saw something wonderful about the land and all of the opportunities that it could bring. On June 25, 1673, Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette were the first Europeans to set foot onto Iowa soil. They marked the first settlement of white people on Iowa territory. The land had previously been home to approximately 17 different Indian tribes before being founded by Europeans. European settlers began to push the Indian
new democracies and some contemporary uses of the concept of cleavage in new democracies with the examples of Western European countries. At the end of the dissertation, I will examine the spatial scope of the model taking into account the recent evolutions as well as various aspects and the durability of the model. There are different divisions in society, but Lipset-Rokkan has defined four fundamental cleavages for Western civilization. According to them, these divisions have determined the emergence
Manifest Destiny is the belief that the United States was “destined” to expand its territory over North America from “sea to shining sea.”1 The phrase Manifest Destiny is credited to New York journalist John L. O’Sullivan.2 Americans of the East believed they had a God- given right to spread democracy, conquer anything and anyone as they marched across the North America continent to expand westward.

exceptionalism; a belief that America had a special mission to spread liberty and democracy all over the world. Together, these two factors helped thrust America into an era now known as “The Age of Imperialism”.

The Civil War was inevitable in many reasons. The economic and industrial evolution was mainly in the North side of the United States while the South was just a cotton kingdom, Slave Empire. Also both were completely opposites of one another when it was about freeing the slaves or hiring more. With many debates there has to be sides that would be separated especially if the president has so much hate from the people. With that being said, since many want opposing ideas, the Civil War becomes much
“European Bias in the Evolution of Our Planet” Throughout the colonization of Europe and the world, European empires have been considered the main reason behind these technological advances in the world. These great empires are often exaggerated and used by European historians due to unfactual claims.This bias is seen throughout books, movies, and articles that describe the way the empires are mad.e The fictions created by these workplace is now being undone, with little to no progress, in order

While the policy regulations of states strive to maintain their sovereignty, states have long recognised their interdependence in policing transnational illegal activity (Gerspacher 2009). Transnational crime has long posed a significant obstacle to policing efforts. The extensive effects of globalisation, world political and economic shifts, technological advances, security challenges and the implications of climate change, have all served to influence the crime environment and make the job of policing
Benedict Anderson 's Imagined Communities is a thoughtful and interesting look at nationalism and its evolution over the course of the last few centuries. Anderson’s thoughts regarding imagined communities and his definition thereof, that imagined communities are “an imagined political community-and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign” (p.6) pairs nicely with his argument that changing notions of language and the advent of print capitalism are the foundation on which current ideas about

First, a U.S. missile defense system undermines China’s nuclear minimum deterrence. Second, China continues to view the United States as its main potential enemy because of U.S. security relations in Asia, particularly Taiwan. For these reasons, Beijing’s nuclear modernization will be pursued at the same rate as Washington deploys missile defense systems to keep a viable deterrence
Over the last century, the Middle East has been the location of ethnic rivalry, political and economic instability, religious conflict, territorial dispute and war. Much of this tension in the Middle East comes from the various interpretations of Islam and how the religion should be applied to politics and society. Over the last ten years, the United States and their allies have pushed to promote democracy in the Middle East. However, they too have many obstacles they must overcome. They face problems
identity involves a belief in common culture, language, territory, kinship, history, religion, and founding moments in which a certain course towards a particular “destiny” or “fate” is invoked. Such attributes are attached to the citizens of nation-states. In her book, Montserrat Guinernau particularly addresses European nationalism and this study focuses on how her analysis can be applied to the development of Middle Eastern nationalism. According to Montserrat Guinernau, there are essential factors
