During the 1800s if you were admitted to the hospital, you had barley a 50% chance of surviving.

Hospitals were run in unsanitary conditions and usually placed in areas of cities or towns that were unhealthy. Diseases and infections contracted at hospitals were often the result of poor unsanitary conditions in the hospital. Rats, mice and…

8.1: Women in the Renaissance/Baroque I chose to write some information on Sophonisba Anguissola and Catherine the Great. Sophonisba Anguissola: She was one of the primary awesome female painters of the Renaissance. Her sexual orientation assumed a part in her commitments as she was not permitted as a lady to think about life systems or draw from life as it was viewed as inadmissible for a lady to see nudes. Disregarding these limitations, she needed to work with what she had utilized…

The Crimean War has been considered by many to be a war of blunders and mistakes, even though many of them were preventable. Poor planning, communication, and insight led the Crimean War to go into the history books as an incompetent and unnecessary operation on both sides. ------------> The main cause of the war was because of Russia’s desire to extend their influence, specifically over the Ottoman Empire. From this stemmed two main disputes: first of all, Russia was granted protective…

Huntington gives an example of Russia and Ukraine that they already argued over Crimea in 90th, but they allowed to dispute, so as Russia and Ukraine are belong to the same civilization: Slavic-Orthodox, post-Soviet and with the same culture.

The balkanization that caused Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union to break up is caused by Nationalism and the different ethnicities that existed within Austria-Hungary and then Yugoslavia later. Austria-Hungary's primary culture was Austrian, part of the German Cultural branch, yet most of the empire was Slavic Balkan. The breakup of Austria-Hungary created Yugoslavia, and while the ethnicities were part of the same cultural group, the different ethnicities trying to gain power would lead to its…

Anne Applebaum came to Texas A&M on September 28th, 2015. She came to talk about Russia and Putin’s agenda. Russia is a paradoxical power that is both weak and strong. Putin controls the levers of the economy and media in a very authoritarian manner. Russia is weak in how Putin came to power and how he still holds onto this power. He was a KGB member and a member of the Russian mafia. His story is almost like a comic book villains. He stands at the center of a web of corruption and he rose by…

The plague “How and why did the plague occur in Medieval Europe occur?” The first account of the description of the plague was from Messina. In early October 1347 twelve Genoese Gallery entered Messina Harbour. The people of Messina noticed the men with unusual black boils on their bodies. Anyone who spoke to the men quickly developed a boil the size of a lentil on their thighs and upper arms. This resembled a “burn boil”.

There are always two sides to every story and in order to fully understand a situation one must be informed about all aspects. When someone does not have all the information or possesses a limited viewpoint then the chances of bias and misunderstanding occurring increases exponentially. An individual’s outlook on current events heavily depends on where that person lives and how they interpret what the media reports; every issue has more than one perspective but the Western media is excellent at…

Although there are numerous international relations theories that exist within the world today, not many clash like neorealism and idealism do. Where neorealists see a world full of actors focused on achieving power for survival, idealists see many actors attempting to achieve that same survival through the use of cooperation instead of force. When neorealists say that power is the best means for survival, idealists assert that survival is not in power, but rather in cooperation and…
