The European Union is one of the most idealistic and promising entities on the planet. It is a beacon of coming togetherness in order to promote an international wellness. However,such a political organisation will not exist without its flaws. The EUs flaws are in how its internal politics work. While the EU does try to promote a stronger Europe, sometimes this is at the cost of individual countries. The ‘one country one vote system’ that is present incentivises votes that promote the general…

The king was the brain. The other parts should not question the orders of the brain, but obey them’, hence he saw that nationalism was a mean of strengthening and justifying the absolute monarchy in Siam. 1917 Siam declared War with Central Power: The First World War presented a chance for Siam to…
