Pancho Villa, whose real name was Jose Doroteo Arango Arambula, was a Mexican Revolutionary General and one of the most prominent figures of the Mexican Revolution. He was born in San Juan Rio, Durango, Mexico on July 5, 1878, and died on July 20, 1923. He grew up on a family farm and his father died when he was a teenager. Arambula left home and became a bandit. He was running away from the law and changed his name to Francisco Villa so he wouldn't get caught. Villa joined the fight against…

Calvin Coolidge was a quiet and somber man whose sour expression masked a dry wit. He was known as "Silent Cal." And after learning of his ascendancy to the presidency following the death of Warren Harding in 1923, he was sworn in by his father, a justice of the peace, in the middle of the night and, displaying his famous "cool," promptly went back to bed. Coolidge was born on Independence Day, 1872, and was raised in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. His father was a pillar of the community,…

unknown Austrian then living in Bavaria planned a pamphlet to be called Settling Accounts. In it he intended to attack the ineffectiveness of the dominant political parties in Germany which were opposed to the new National Socialists (Nazis).

was not the end of the fight for the rights of African Americans, and a Bill of Rights did not stop the people from arguing for more rights, such as same sex marriage. All of these fights have stemmed from a common root: the desire for equality. In 1923, only three years after…

Moreover, this threat was not noticed as two successive revolts took place in 1920 and 1923. However, other factors have surfaced to suggest that other threats were at hand. For example, it can be argued that flaws in the Weimar Constitution and their policies created room for attack, with political opposition using this to establish a threat to destroy the Republic. Additionally, economic disasters such as the 1923 Hyperinflation and Wall Street Crash also threatened the Republic, causing…

Rosewood Massacre There have been many wrong doings over time and while many justify the inhumane acts with “It was just the time we lived in back then”, nothing can justify what transpired in a small town in Florida in 1923. Rosewood, Florida was established around 1845. This town was a very small town located in what is now Levy County. This was a quiet town that began to take notice when a railway was built nearby. This railroad would transport the red cedar tree by the masses to a pencil…

Afghanistan gave women the right to vote in 1919, a year earlier then in the U.S. Moreover, in 1923, Afghanistan granted women equality with “the country's first constitution in 1923 guaranteed equal rights for both men and women” (Source I). This seems to paint a different Afghanistan then we are used to, an Afghanistan were women are cherished and respected, a nation more democrat then the U.S.A. Afghanistan used to be an idyllic place to live and raise a family. No strict dress codes were…

Social intelligence is a construct used in a variety of literature. While non-academic literature takes a more liberal approach to this term, academic literature debates over defining this concept and whether or not social intelligence is intelligence. However, there is still conflict in defining intelligence (Legg & Hutter, 2007). There are multiple definitions of intelligence. Many of which have common elements, such as defining intelligence as a capacity to adapt to and interact with…
