It was Frederick the Great’s personal insecurity about Prussia’s lack of political dominance over Europe that produced what could arguably be considered the actual First World War: the Seven Year’s War in Europe. Triggered by Frederick’s invasion of Saxony in 1754, the Seven Years’ War began with a bleak prospect for Prussia and developed into a spectacle of Frederick’s military genius, with Prussia surviving the war despite copious adversities. The war, then, became a means through which…

As a result, the books I read were The Presidency of Dwight D Eisenhower by Elmo Richardson and In Review: Pictures I’ve Kept: A Concise Pictorial Autobiography by Eisenhower himself. I enjoyed reading the books, Eisenhower was a fascinating man with an exciting…
Before presidencies, there were empires. History, regardless of how or when, the subject is constructed around power, money, territories, and conspiracy. Survival of the fittest. The struggle between three particular world powers throughout the last five decades showcased the most brilliant minds, The Ottoman, British, and French Empires.
