1. Where were the three European fronts in the war? The three fronts in the European war were the Westerns, the Balkans and the Russians (eastern). 2. Briefly describe what happened on each of these three fronts. On the western front they were struggling with putting up a good defense but with their strategy of using attrition they became more successful. They still had many casualties because the enemies were using deep trenches, barbed-wire everywhere, land mines and huge amount of machine…

The comparison of Frankenstein to Prometheus is appropriate, but to a certain extent. They have more differences than similarities. Mary Shelley's inspiration for Frankenstein came from the ancient, Greek God Prometheus. Here are the similarities and differences. For similarities, Frankenstein and Prometheus try and change things for the better, for different reasons I'll get into in the next paragraph. Their actions were both bad though. Therefore, they were punished for what they do.…

The topic that I have investigated about is Abortion. Abortion is a highly controversial topic around the globe, mostly because of the moral issues it brings forwards based on people’s philosophies and religion. A significant part of the population, called prolife, consider abortion as murdering a living child and hence, are against abortion. Another group of people, called prochoice, believe that the parents, particularly women, have the choice to do anything with their body and entertain the…

By the age of 16, he had made his way into the Tiflis seminary, the “highest rung of the educational ladder in the Caucasus … a stepping-stone to a university elsewhere in the empire.” He eventually dropped out of school, drifting into the shadowy world of far-left politics, but remained a charismatic personality. In Baku, where he went in 1907 to agitate among the oil…

George Sand’s Indiana and Mikhail Lermontov’s A Hero of Our Time interrogate the conflict between individual and collective identity in the nineteenth century through presenting the individual as a site of ambiguity and hybridity that disrupts the supposed coherence and homogeneity of the collective identities cultivated by national and colonial power relations. Collective identity attempts to bound and border individuals within binary categories, presenting groups defined by national, ethnic,…

The battle of Stalingrad is one of the most important battles in all of World War two for two reasons. It halted the German offensive, and it laid the foundation for future Russian victories. Without Stalingrad, the Russians would have had no hope for World War two, and had to have been defeated by the Nazi army. If Russia had fallen, it could have meant a whole new outcome to World War two, changing the world as we know it. Stalingrad held the original name of Tsaritsyn until the year of 1925.…

exile repenting for their sins. The second is Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods to give to the humans on Earth, but unlike Adam and Eve, Prometheus knew his disobedience was not in wrong faith and lived the rest of his life chained to the Caucasus Mountains saying “I would rather be chained to this rock than be the obedient servant of the gods” (Fromm 575). With these two scenarios in mind it helps Fromm understand that there is a difference between disobeying out of curiosity and…

leaving them to starve, and to suffer. Feeling an eternal guilt, being the caretakers of mankind, Prometheus stole the fire.Tired of being bamboozled, “Zeus ordered Hephaestus and his servants, state and violence, to nail him to a steep peak of the Caucasus and sent an eagle, born of Typhon and Echidna, to eat his liver, which was renewed every morning.” (Prometheus: The Creator of Man). Being born as a demi-god Prometheus body would rejuvenate therefore causing the cycle to repeat. Forcing him…

The Battle of the Bulge also known as the “Ardennes Offensive” was the last major German operation before they ultimately fell to defeat by the Allies (United States, Great Britain, and Russia). All events that led up to this last ditch effort started when Adolph Hitler rose to power after World War I. Hitler Believed German’s were the Master Race and should rule over the World. He systematically removed all political opposition to his Nazi Party and began massive public works to rebuild…

More than 13 million people died during the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust. Can you imagine that immense loss of life and the brutality they suffered? It is unfathomable! Both of these events were similar but not the same. Like their similarities, they both had their differences. Most importantly, the dehumanization inflicted on the victims of both mass killings is what makes the events comparable. The twentieth century has demonstrated the true horror that mankind can force upon society.…
