Through months of excavating an old library in the Middle East, our group of archeologists and historians have found fragments of a secret treaty between the nobles of the First Crusade and the Seljuk Turks. The treaty was written in French which we all know, the main language spoken by the Crusaders. It was found to be written using carbon ink on goat skins. Since it is an organic material artifact, it is more likely to be susceptible to environmental damage. Hence, extra careful steps were…

to the Crusaders for the time (“Jerusalem Captured in First Crusade”). The news of this miraculous event started to spread from Jerusalem all the way back to Europe. Now that the Crusaders took back their holy lands, Christians could go on their journeys of faith and have no fears of death. Sadly, the news never made it back to Pope Urban II. Urban passed away in 1099, only two weeks after the capture of Jerusalem (“Pope Urban II Orders First Crusade”). He would never learn about how his…

searching a graph that extends the Breadth-First search (Jungwirth, 2006). The Breadth-First search is essentially a special-case Best-First search where the evaluation function, f(n) is the same as the heuristics function, h(n) (JONES, 2008). Therefore in order to properly discuss Beam search, there is the need for a brief introduction to Best-First algorithm. The Best-First search traverses a tree from top to bottom and searches for nodes on the same level first before descending to the next…

However, almost immediately after Constantine’s death in 337 controversies arose and lasted for more than forty years. The two sides of the controversy were made up of those who supported the findings in Nicaea and those who still supported the Arian views. This controversy ended up lasting until the Second ecumenical council…

The First Opium War took place between Great Britain and China from 1839-1842 over Great Britain’s right to trade opium, and to a lesser extent to preserve international trade in Asian Continent. While the war itself is interesting, several significant economic insights can be obtained by observing how the economic conditions of the time brought about war. At the turn of the 18th Century, China saw itself as the best country in the world. They were almost completely self-sufficient and had been…

Under what Circumstances Did Pope Urban II Preach the First Crusade? Do You Think that the Preaching of the Crusade Was Likely to be a Success? In 1095, Pope Urban II delivered a sermon: a call of arms to the Christians of Europe. He preached a pilgrimage to recapture the city of Jerusalem and other states in the East from the control of the Muslims.
