result of simply violence and hard-power utilization, but rather due to effective strategy and a great deal of luck. The economic and socio-political devastation that stemmed from World War I incited the collapse of German society and the Weimar Republic, allowing Hitler to effectively craft propaganda to promote his policies to a highly receptive German public that ended up bearing the stigma of his…

The Roman Military The Roman Empire was arguably one of the most technologically advanced powers of all time. The feats they accomplished with their limited technology is mind blowing, even today we are still trying to figure out how they accomplished everything. The Roman Military is an example of how advanced the Roman Empire was during this era. From the incredible machinery to their quick witted tactics during a time of war, the Romans were the rulers of the world. Furthermore, they…

My favorite assignment has been every assignment dealing with the Mirabals sisters. I like every assignment dealing with the Mirabals sisters. I was not raised in the Dominican Republic I was raised here in New Jersey, so anything dealing with the Dominican Republic and me learning something new excites me. The book “In the Time of the Butterflies” has taught me that our mind is born innocent, but events and things mold your mind and makes you see/do things differently. Like Minerva’s mind was…

There exists a symbiotic relationship between history and collective memory, whereby historians become the undertakers of this memory for preservation. In the predominantly oral culture of Ancient Rome, the conventional model for historical production was exclusive to the noble historian, whereby history would be an amalgamation of the public Roman memory and his own memory and assertions. For as sociologist Halbwach surmised, the individual memory does not alone have control over recovering the…

After Caesar’s death, Brutus and Antony both gave speeches about the reason why Caesar is dead. Brutus’s speech seemed short and did not explain a lot. He only made one or two arguments that the majority of people agreed with Antony conducted a long speech full of detail and; in addition, emotion that captured Rome’s citizens’ attention. During Antony’s speech, he cried which I am sure made his audience feel his pain of losing their emperor. Antony allowed his audience to feel a sense of grief…

Julius Caesar, a play about the lives of Caesar, his “friends”, and the people of Rome has escalated quickly and become a massacre. Acts I through III were mainly about Caesar coming into power and the conspirators’ plans to kill him. Caesar was eventually murdered after being told several times to beware of the Ides of March and to watch his back. Because Caesar was the ruler of Rome, and was murdered, the city needed to find a new leader. The two men competing for the role of leader…

There once was a boy who lived in Scotland. The boys parents eventually made the courageous decision to journey across the Atlantic ocean to America. One might ask why they would move away from everything they once knew to start over again in a different culture. The answer was simply to make a better life for their family, with that decision being made, the boy immigrated to America. This is the true story of Andrew Carnegie, a famous philanthropist, who, like many others, succeeded in…

Though confusion originally existed about the exact date Rome was founded, it is accepted to say that Rome was found in 753 BC and the Roman Republic emerged in 509 BC (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2015). Rome was one of the most prominent states in the Latium region. Much of early Rome’s success should be credited to the major Etruscan help it received— even the name Rome is derived from the Etruscan language. Eventually, Rome encountered circumstances, e.g. not having enough land to accommodate…

Greek and Roman views on Death & Afterlife. The Greeks and Romans saw passing in a mind-boggling manner. While their demise customs had numerous similitudes, the importance of death and the afterlife between the two cultures. In both societies, the dead 's groups looked after by the ladies. Additionally, the funerals included moving, singing, and petition to God. Romans were not permitted to be cremated or buried inside of the city, as a result, the remaining parts were entombed in tombs that…

Since the death of Julius Caesar in Act III, the play has took a tremendous turn. All of Caesar so called "friends" turned against him because of what they thought was a corrupt ruler, in my opinion wasn 't the case. All the reasons why they thought Caesar was so horrible took a turn once they read his will. He left his money to the people and left all of his private areas around Rome, to be public for everyone to enjoy. Since the conspirators decision to kill Caesar, Rome has been in…
