They both caused conflict in the government and tension between common people, but France did not fall after a new religion was introduced, and Rome did. I viewed the Guises as similar to the Roman Officials who persecuted Christians, basically just big bullies. The protestant leaders who eventually gained enough power to raise an army against the French government reminded me of Emperor Constantine, because they both were catalysts to the spread of a new religion. These similarities allowed me…

In the 16th Century, religion divided Europe. However, a hand full of rulers influenced their countries and led them towards success. These rulers were known as politiques. Politiques were rulers or people in places of position that put the success and well being of their states above religious unity.

were first hatched, but found agreement instead. “In the videos, both boys laugh at how simple it was to make others believe what they wanted them to. On camera, they vehemently denied 'copying' any other school shootings - saying they were going to be successful because they were going to die.” This literally showed their insanity and their mental issues. Another factor could be the gun control laws. Back then before it was easy for kids to get guns and nowadays it’s easy for kids to still…

Around the 1630s, French Jesuit missionaries sailed to the St. Lawrence Valley and were inspired by the game of lacrosse played by the Native Americans. Jean de Brebeuf was the first European to document the game in 1636. After recording one of the Huron’s contests, he would officially name the sport “lacrosse.” The reason it is called lacrosse is that Crosse means stick with a curve end, which would look similar to a bishop crozier. Later in the mid-1800s, French residents in Canada would…

It was about competition with the fur trade, Indian allies, and land disputes because it wasn’t just the French that lived there, but also the British lived there too. After the French and Indian war, the British took over Canada. Even though the British did a good job of unifying the dominion, there was a huge group of French and English. Rebellions broke out because of the…
