Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of…

Second attempt at First Draft The history of Guantanamo Bay, the current happenings with its prisoners and the educated commentary about the prison have brought forth the idea of closing Gitmo.

I have been addicted to it for over five years now, and the fire that…

Germany found herself in a state of despair in 1945 due to the economical, political and physical damage the war had caused ‘Wohin wir blicken. Ruinen, Schutt und Asche […] Die Wirtschaft ist desorganisiert und völlig gelähmt.’ In the aftermath of the war, the Soviet Union, the Western powers and those within each Allied regime had different views on the way in which Germany’s future should be shaped.

When entering a crime scene, you need to be prepared for anything. Looking for evidence, like a body, is really useful, but so is DNA from hair follicles and bodily fluids to name a few. When a body is found, it is taken to have an autopsy performed. When examining the body, with X-rays and Cat Scans for example, it is possible that you will find antemortem injuries (injuries that happened before the death). Antemortem injuries can range from bone fractures to abrasions, and they are easily…

Author John Littel claims the Taiping Rebellion of 1850-1864 to be the most destructive civil war of modern times. The Rebellion, regarded as a fanatical religious outburst, ravaged seventeen provinces, took over twenty thousand lives and irrevocably altered the Qing Dynasty.
