foundation of the soon to become, albeit short lived, empire of the Carthage. Some argue that this is fable and the descendants of Carthage were rather the Phonecians from Tyre who acquired land over the natives of Africa, the Lydians and Nudmidians (Morey, 1901) The government of Carthage was similar in structure to the tyrant kings of earlier Rome, being aristocratic and under military rule. Further reading tells us that the Carthaginians excelled in trade, building commercial links with the…

again; with the senate taking back the power and continuing the corruption and further erasing the republic. Many more attempts to rule Rome ensued, war broke out and power was battled between the forever famous Cato, Cicero, and Julius Caesar. (Morey, 1901). The cycle spun and following each fallout Rome remained to regroup. In conclusion, the senate designated its own fate and I conclude that they were the root cause to the negative effects following the Roman conquests. Their continuous greed…

controversy over many different topics over the years. For example, a belief that was acceptable in the 19th century may not be acceptable in this day and age or the other way around. The previous example is much like the situation that took place in 1901.

This insight led Rome to build and upgrade their fleets since the choice was between losing the war or getting prepared (Morey, 1901). . Romans decided not to invent the wheel twice and simply studied the design of a Carthaginian ship which was wrecked and reconstructed one hundred of them in 2 months. Their soldiers practiced rowing on land by simulating banks of vessels…

Furthermore, Rome and Macedonia began hostile relations following the new Roman expansion plans in the East (Morey, 1901). In conclusion, despite the serious sacrifices endured, the Punic war will represent a decisive turning point for the future fortunes of Rome. First of all in terms of territorial expansion, since at the end of the war Rome will take total…

Sir Ernest Shackleton wanted to explore Antarctica by boat. In 1901, Sir Ernest Shackleton went on the Antarctic expedition. “In 1908, he returned to the Antarctic as the leader of his own expedition, on the ship 'Nimrod'.” (http://www.bbc.co.uk) "In 1914, Shackleton made his third trip to the Antarctic with the ship 'Endurance', planning to cross Antarctica via the South Pole."

Ancient Rome was made up of various classes, which includes the patricians and the plebeian classes. Although these classes were not treated equally, there are some aspects where they were accorded the same privilege. For instance, the Patricians and the Plebeians had a citizenship right. However, the Patricians and the Plebeian class had different political and economic inclinations, which evidently led to the famous plebeian revolt within Rome. In this paper, we examine how the economic and…

In 1901, William Mckinley “stood at the peak of his power” (Rauchway, 3). With his charm, steadfastness, experience and conservative views, Mckinley was the popular vote in 1896 for the Presidency. During his first term in office, Mckinley led the United States to become “an international colonial empire” (Rauchway, 6). With his success, Mckinley won reelection in 1900 with the majority of votes. Even at his peak, Mckinley still had critics. On of those critics was Leon Czolgosz, a…
