"History despite it's wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, and if faced with courage, need not be lived again." (LMTTM 137.) If students are educated with our past, then they'll learn from the mistakes that were made. A great deal of my eighth grade year was spent on the Holocaust. Not only was it taught in history class, but also in my English and class. I even had the pleasure of meeting two survivors from Auschwitz, a Nazi concentration camp. The teachers made it clear to us that the reason so much time was spent on the Holocaust was to prevent it from happening to our generation. They believed that if they showed us how wrong it was, we'd keep it from happening to us. This is why the

Throughout American history, the development of plantations (farms) in the American colonies arrived as immigrants arrived in small farms. The American people settled on the land west of the Mississippi for many diverse reasons. As the years went, by the profit and demand for crops such as tobacco grew larger. At that time, large plantation could had over 400 acres of fields growing anything from tobacco to maize and sugarcane(in the south), as the myths reveal. The farmers were also in the business of buying slaves as they were auctioned off at the ports or owned as indentured servants.Initially, many Americans were reluctant to move westward. Early explorers thought that the country

The TelegraphThroughout history, there have been many versions of the telegraph. It was first demonstrated in 1835 by Professor Moncke in Germany. Another version was developed in 1837 by William Cooke which could transmit a signal as far as 1.6km away. The Morse Code was then developed in 1844 by American Samuel Morse, which used a series of dots and dashes to send messages 60 kilometres away. As a switch on the telegraph was opened and closed, the dots and dashes were transmitted onto paper or converted into sounds which were read by a translator. The first telegraph table was established in 1851 across the English Channel and another was laid across the Atlantic Ocean in 1858 however

Perhaps the view of the U.S. entering WWI turned into most promising after the ripple effect of events after the sinking of the Lusitania. Each event made the United States weaker for entering the war and lastly there was no proper way to stay neutral. The instant cause of America's entry into World War I in April 1917 was the German announcement of unrestricted submarine warfare, and the following sinking of ships with Americans on board the Lusitania. The effects of the war were widespread throughout the world and can be traced for generations after the war.jkThe unrestricted submarine warfare was a sort of naval warfare in which submarines submerged merchant ships without notice.

Brief HistoryMany names (Samal, Ibabao, Tandaya) were given to Samar Island prior to the coming of the Spaniards in 1596. The name Samar was derived from the local dialect "samad", meaning wound or cut, which aptly describes the rough physical features of the island that is rugged and deeply dissected by streams.During the early days of Spanish occupation, Samar was under the jurisdiction of Cebu. In 1735, Samar and Leyte were united into one province with Carigara, Leyte as the capital town and again Samar became a separate province in 1768.Samar (Western Samar)Western Samar, formerly Samar, is a province of the Philippines located in the Eastern Visayas Region.

They sick of feeling like they were not respected as people should have been. The head of every state came together to make a change by creating their own declaration for their own country. They organized all of these states to come together to do control their own future.

It is important that people study the past so we have a better understanding of how we came to be. We also need to study the past so we know how civilizations were and what they did a thousand years ago. History is one of the most important elements in our lives.

"History records that the ancient Egyptians, and later the Greeks and Romans, tossed balls back and forth as part of their religious rites and as a conditioning exercise. Some phase of ball-throwing activity probably goes back to the most primitive man." (1) The concept passed on from country to country. France and

The True History In the story, The True History, I was fascinated with the fact that Lucian of Samosata told the story as if these things really had happened to him but on the other hand in the beginning he told us that he was a liar. This truly fascinated me. I would expect this to make people not want to read this. My biggest question is why would he let people know that he was lying. It could be because he story was just really unbelievable or he was just trying to be truthful. I truly think it is because this story is so unbelievable. In my paper I will try to give you evidence in which why I think he told us that he was a liar, was due to the fact that his story is so unbelievable; not

According to Boscovich, atoms are stuctureless points, which exhibit repelling and attracting forces on each other, depending on distance. John Dalton used the atomic theory to explain why gases always combine in simple ratios. It was with Amedeo Avogadro's work, in the 19th century, that scientists began to distinguish atoms and molecules. In modern times atoms have been observed experimentally.A BRIEF HISTORY OF ATOMIC THEORY DEVELOPMENTYear Milestone Scientist(s)~400 BC The first coherent atomic theoryDemocritus1804 First "modern" atomic

Throughout the long history of the free world, there has always been at least one country that reigned supreme over all other nations. During the Age of Exploration Spain wielded this power. With its defeat came the supremacy of Great Britain. For centuries China ruled with an iron-fist over all of Asia, until Japan emerged as a rival for this power in the late eighteen-hundreds. The Soviet Union was one of the great superpowers, a position it shared with America until its downfall in the twentieth-century. And now the United States is the sole superpower that exists in our current world. What is it that made all of these nations so powerful at one time or another? The answer to that
