entry into the League of Nations was largely due to Wilson’s stubbornness rather than the opposition forces; the liberals, who believed the treaty didn’t provide a peaceful future, and the conservatives, who disliked the idea of any foreign involvement, which were only minor parts of these two contrasting efforts. Political leaders like Herbert Hoover urged the President to approve the treaty, not necessarily for its propositions but more so to help the European nations recover after war, help…

of the United Nations Halle Seydel 030:060:A01 Intro to International Relations Introduction Ronald Regan once said that “Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means”.

Birth of a Nation. Upon its release in 1915, the filmed created disputes due the way that it portrayed African Americans. The film caused race riots and uproars from African American communities who were enraged by their community’s portrayal. For the first time in film history, a motion picture was screened at the White House, where President Woodrow Wilson said, “It is like writing history with lightning.” (Everett Carter, Three) Because of its controversial background, Birth of a Nation…

What makes a nation? Beyond the difference of Nations and States, what really makes a Nation and how does one identify as a member of said Nation? When discussing whether or not Canada is actually a nation or a state with multiple nations within (as discussed later), the question I pose is: Why is this even a question?

When the of the Nation of Islam is brought up, it is usually associated with being a radical group under the direction of Malcolm X. Do you ever wonder how it all started and what the Nation of Islam really stood for in the early to mid 1900’s? What was it about the Nation that drew thousands of African Americans, in the United States alone, to follow its teachings? What happened to the Nation of Islam and why isn’t it prevalent in today’s society? The Nation of Islam intrigues me because of…
