Ever wonder what it would be like with two world power an another ally against Egypt would end? With Egypt having home land, and a nasty storm for the British and the French, Egypt came out in top! With Israel, the UK, the French being mad at Nasser for nationalizing the canal, and the invasion, a lot of things happened concerning the Suez Canal Israel will want to control the Suez Canal for multiple reasons, they might want the money that may come from it, or they may just want to see…

Germany was split into two different parts, one being the West and the other being the East. The Berlin Wall had a significant impact on Germany because the country was not united and it prevented development in the East. The fall of the Berlin wall had a positive effect on Germany by starting the process of unification in the country. Germany was divided into two separate parts after World War ll. The East being under the control of the Soviet Union and the West being the Western Allied powers…

Violence in Gaza “Peace can happen in 24 hours....just like war can happen in 24 hours.” Sari Nusseibeh. This quote from Nusseibeh seems almost too good to be true, especially for countries like Gaza. War and violence is something that seems nearly impossible to fix in just 24 hours like Nusseibeh implies. And seems nearly impossible for the citizens of Gaza who are constantly having to deal with the conflict between Palestine and Israel. The novel, Gaza Writes Backs is composed of…

Rome was the largest power in Europe and Near East, and quite possibly the world. Today, America is seen as a global superpower, dominating other cultures with a large military and cultural influence. However, with this power also came a degree of arrogance.

What is a women’s place in the world so many cultures have a different view of what a woman’s value is but quiet clearly it is always under a man. We have explored two movies which show the exploitation of women and how little their lives mean in the face of the oppressors which in these movies where a group of men. “What do we do when those with all of the power are hurting those with none”. In both movies the oppressors are able to keep all of their power through others submitting giving…

countries that were not heavily populated with Muslims. Countries nearby were now exposed to Muslim culture. It has been diffusing from the Middle East to Europe, Africa and Asia. Looking at a map created from different sources showing the spread of Islam, over a short span of about 140 years, the Islamic territory reached as far north as France and as far east as India (Doc C). Apparently, Muslim advances were very successful. One might conclude that Muslim military campaigns were not…

(captaindarwin) And the rest most likely joined to survive because they had lost everything to the war. (captaindarwin)That is why I believe that child soldiers should not be prosecuted but be rehabilitated. Now there are wars all over the middle east and in the wars there have been an increase in child soldiers. Many people believe that these children are unchangeable do too the conditions they were raised in. While they want somebody to take the blame they forget these children have had…

Propaganda. When we hear the word propaganda, we think of the Holocaust, of Nazi Germany, of Hitler. We think of a dark, dangerous time, a time when everyone was suspected to be the enemy, a time when no one could be trusted. What we don't think about, is the constant propaganda that we are exposed to today. We expect it to be plainly stated. To be so obvious, that when we see it, a bright lightbulb lights up with a glaring neon red sign saying “WARNING: PROPAGANDA. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.” Yet,…

revolutions occurred in the Middle East. Constitutionalism refers to parliamentary representation, constitutional government reform, and a method to challenge the absolute power of the monarch. This also includes the separation of powers or check and balances. The insurgency in the Ottoman Empire and Qajar Iran possessed various similarities and differences. Despite their questionable success, two constitutional revolutions altered the political sphere in the Middle East. Several aspects caused…

immigration, gun control, terrorism, education, and health care. I believe the most important issue in America today is terrorism. America faces a multitude of detrimental threats from terrorist groups all over the world, including the middle east. The middle east is home to some of the most threatening and dangerous groups. Because of this, there is a debate as to how we should fight these groups. I believe that instead of sending in troops to fight terrorist groups, we should use…
