Italy joined Germany on June 10th, 1940. Germany…

The Great War was a war of powerful nations that individually had their own aspirations and hopes to further their success and dominance in the world. In the 1870’s, Germany had annexed French territories. After much success of wars and in industrial strength, ambitions for colonial growth had arose.

Good afternoon everyone, I want to begin by thanking everyone for the opportunity to be standing here and talk to you, about the 1994 Rwandan Genocide. As a survivor of that genocide, it has been hard, not only for me, but also for several others to get it over our heads. I lost my father, who’s face I can’t even recall, my cousins, my aunts and uncles, etc. You can imagine how hard it will be for me to tell my kids who their grand father was. So to begin, where is Rwanda? the country is…

the Russian armies and correctly adjusted the plan. Schlieffen’s plan was to disable the French and then focus directly on Russia to win the war as a sole victor. There was a major mistake in this plan. The strategy depended on an invasion of Belgium which ultimately brought England into the conflict.

I experienced situations like this when I moved to Belgium and started to go American High School where the classes are taught in English. I knew little bit of English but taking classes and speaking was different. So at first it was very difficult to adapt but like everyone I get used to it. The point…

who took part in the voting process, or the citizens’ percentage who have reached the voting age and voted. Regardless of the means of eligibility used, the United States has been identified as having among the lowest voter turnouts globally while Belgium and Australia are having the highest (Wolfinger 142). The high voter turnout witnessed in Australia is as a result of the laws that have been strictly enforced including fines on no-shows during polls. The law in Belgian has a disenfranchising…

Northern Africa. For about 600 years, both groups have shared the essential of farming, culture, language, and nationality; also having intermarriages, with the Hutus working on land, and the Tutsis seen as landowners. With Rwanda being a colony of Belgium, the colonial administrators were to educate and favour one group over another. The Belgians picked the Tutsis, as they were seen as tall, were landowners, and seemed more aristocratic. This introduction of class unsettled the society of…

To achieve this power, European countries utilize the idea of militarism to extend their political reign over the inferior African colonies. Prince Leopold of Belgium sees the entire globe as a way to prove Belgium as an imperial power. Prince Leopold strives to colonize and enlighten the people of Africa to assert a position of power among other European nations (Document 1). Benjamin Disraeli, the British prime minister, claims the…
