Most people, including the Westerners, were too afraid to document the cruelty of the tyranny, some who did went unnoticed due to Leopold's worldwide stance as a famous philanthropist.

It was only when the publicist, Edward Dene Morel realized that Leopold was enforcing slave labor in Africa, did the brutality of Leopold came under the…

society. The automobile is a product that everyone uses everyday even if you can’t afford one. In the beginning of the century the automobile was for the rich. There is not a specific person who invented the first automobile but many say its Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot, a French military engineer who built a steam-powered tricycle, but there where flaws in this design because a steam engine added so much weight that was poor for vehicles traveling on regular roads rather than on rails. As time…

Former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin once said “History shows that there are no invincible armies.” In the 18th century, however, the British rule that spanned nearly a quarter of the Earth’s land, and that was comprised of the largest navy and strongest army at the time would have begged to differ. At the time, it seemed that the British army was destined to control the entire planet. About 5,600 kilometers away, a little colony of The British Empire had enough.

surgery July 11, 1937 at the age of only 38 years old. Throughout his 23-year career, Gershwin would continually seek to expand the breadth of his influences, studying under an incredibly disparate array of teachers, including Henry Cowell, Wallingford Riegger, Edward Kilenyi and Joseph Schillinger. After dropping out of school at the age of 15, Gershwin played in several New York nightclubs and began his stint as a “song-plugger” in New York’s Tin Pan Alley. After three years of…

journey to decapitate the gruesome Gorgon, but they guided him along until it was his time to deliver the death-bringing blow to Medusa on his own accord. Charles Marlow too steps into his own pair of shoes upon the commencement into the Congo in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. As opposed to Perseus’s Talaria, Marlow’s shoes are not of benevolent guidance; they are of the perverted guidance of imperialism, which is the root of European colonization of Africa, and must be cast aside if Marlow…

Henry V was always going to be a bit of a deal breaker here. While the other plays in this series have all been previously adapted for television, Henry V has the double whammy of Olivier and Branagh’s on-screen precedents setting two very different benchmarks for all subsequent adaptations to try and match.
