.... the buffer zones. If these were not created Russia would be much more vulnerable. Also Russia would have been isolated from Europe by a distance. With its advancements in technology the Soviet Union was fast connecting with Europe. No more was it isolated, it became the center of attention. Had Russia not been invalid with the political struggles of Europe, its power and interest after WW2 would have declined. Even with its nuclear capabilities, Russia would have been far less likely to use such a devastating device, had the country’s political involvement declined to pre-war levels. It was the Iron curtain which brought Russia to the limeligh .....

.... stop there; it traveled through Italy and soon spread to all of the major cities in Europe. It is estimated that the Black Plague killed roughly 35-65 percent of the entire population of urban Europe (Vialt 6). One of the only writers to illustrate the horrors of this plague was Giovanni Boccaccio. Boccaccio wrote out of Florence and described the “ravages� of the Black Death in the city (Drabble 113). The Decameron is a collection of tales that were “assembled in their definitive form� sometime between 1349 and 1351 (Drabble 260). In his “The Disease of All Diseases� James Fenton describes his assertions on Boccaccio’ s Decameron. .....

.... definition as "What all the gods love"(Euthyphro, 9e) was incorrect because Euthyphro was presupposing that the reason the gods love it is because it is already pious. The main subject of the Meno is the search for a definition of virtue. However, Meno and Socrates are unable to find one because Meno first attempts to give some characteristics of virtue, but is unable to do so because he cannot list all the aspects that are a part of virtue. Also, in the Meno Socrates attempts to define shape as that which "Always follows color."(Meno, 75c) Intuitively this account of shape does not sound right, and it is shown to be false when the defini .....

.... animals were sent north to fortify Shih’s kingdoms from invading armies. Shih planned to make a great wall by extending and enlarging preexisting walls made by previous rulers. This "great" wall would serve as a barricade to keep out all tribes that wanted to invade China. It also served to separate the civilized acts of the farmers in China to the barbaric acts of the nomadic tribes. What Shih did not know was that the construction would cause many deaths and much suffering to the builders of the wall. The wall which Meng and his men created had watchtowers, forty feet tall, every two hundred yards. The purpose of these towers was to alert the de .....

.... here, we are here because we are tired now.�1 On December 1, 1955 Rosa Parks, a seamstress who lived in Montgomery, Al, refused to give her seat up to a white man who had nowhere to sit on the bus. Because she would not move to the back of the bus, she was arrested for violating the Alabama bus segregation laws. Rosa was thrown in jail and fined fourteen dollars. Enraged by Mrs. Parks arrest the black community of Montgomery united together and organized a boycott of the bus system until the city buses were integrated. The black men and women stayed of the buses until December 20, 1956, almost thirteen months after the boycott their goal was re .....

.... promised them never surfaced. For liberated Europe in general, the conference promised "interim governmental authorities broadly representative of all democratic elements in the population and pledged to the earliest possible establishment through free elections of governments responsive to the will of the people." Stalin agreed to that concession thinking that the libe4rated European nations would see the Soviet Union as their saviors and create their own communist governments. When that did not happen, Stalin wiped out all opposition and set up his own governments in those areas. With regard to Germany, the conference postponed decisions on d .....

.... World War II expanded to grow more and more destructive in Europe, the war in the Pacific earned its own merits in the eradication of lives (Thomas 76). On December 7, 1945, the Japanese navy launched a surprise attack on Pear Harbor, Hawaii, which was the principal American naval base in the Pacific (Johnson 18). The next day, the 'sleeping giant' took action and declared war on Japan. As the war raged on, and as Germany eventually surrendered, the United States found itself essentially fighting alone against an implacable enemy in the Pacific. In an attempt to undermine the Japanese will to fight, the United States bombed most of its major ci .....

.... away. The treaty of Versailles was the most important of the Long-term causes because it gave Hitler the opportunity to share the same ideas as the Germans about the treaty of Versailles. So he took advantage in the middle of a politically destabilised Germany. Short-term causes like the Munich Putsch helped his popularity, which was essential to his rise to power.

.... was to resolve the conflict as peacefully as possible. Their involvement, however, seems to be more of a cancer that a cure. Both side of the conflict turn their weapons of destruction not only on each other, but also onto NATO soldiers. Somewhat ironic, to prevent death we must send our brave men in to die. The conflict has been hard on the world, but more so on Kosovo itself. It is predicted that if the war doesn’t stop the two-sides will be fighting over nothing other than pride. The world’s involvement into the conflict seems to have fueled the anger of both sides. There are hundreds of people suck in the middle. Regular farme .....
