To begin, we follow the teachings of an European political extremist by the name of Robert Marks. He is one to believe in the power and rule of the European state and is even more apt to defend the means of their triumphs. This academic has spread wide knowledge of the European’s influence on western culture and furthermore the world. Yet he is sparse to come to the conclusion of whether it was the culture that made them so powerful or their willingness to mend broken civilizations via their own…
there is still one moment that remains more special than others. It's been five years since I took AP European History with Mr. Hanna, but it still stands out as one of the best classes I have ever taken. Given that five years later I find myself as a Government major it may sound a bit obvious why I would like such a class. Yet, the best part wasn't what he taught, but how he taught it. History is notorious for being a "downer", and although I've always thought otherwise, it's fair to say that…

This class also showed me that other countries are similar to Europe with historical events and sometimes what major events happened in Europe affected other countries. Alto of Europe’s history relates to American history which I found to be very helpful in understanding. The last two chapters explained the last half century to modern day…
I took over three college-prep U.S. History classes, one English as a Second Language (ESL) U.S. History class, and team-taught an Advanced Placement (AP) U.S. History class. When I joined the AP U.S. History class, the course was essentially finished because the AP test had been taken, and students were working on final projects. The college-prep and ESL classes , on the…
Throughout history, there have been world events that have happened that we learn about in school, by watching documentaries, reading books at the library, and even flipping through a newspaper or magazine. But how do we know for a fact that the information we are learning is historically correct? Although a majority of what we read is the truth, there are people who change history from what really happened to what they want the world to believe happened. And even if there are truthful articles…
U.S. united and far from conflicts that did not concerned the U.S. Apparently, George Washington was fully aware of European history.

This was called the Grand Game in European diplomacy, that sought to build interlocking alliances in such a way that would balance out the opposite powers, but…
