The authors' biography: I chose to write a critical account on an edited book entitled Fear, Anxiety, and National Identity: Immigration and Belonging in North American and western Europe edited by Nancy Foner and Patrick Simon. As the title indicates, the book is about the relationship that immigrants have with National Identity in western European countries and North America. When I read the title, the thought that came to my mind was that the issues raised and analysed by the authors in the…

A triangle of exchange developed, connecting the landmasses of Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Slave dealers from Portugal, the Netherlands, England, and France brought crude and made materials (for example, horses, iron, cloth, glass, and firearms) to African brokers. African rulers benefitted from this exchange, taking up arms against neighbors or requiring tribute as slaves, which they, thusly, bargained to Europeans for the fascinating extravagance things they supplied.

France, Spain, England, Netherlands, and Portugal had set out exploration for many different things, such as wealth, land, religious freedom, and many other reasons. These countries had been fairly successful on the finding of many new things, such as the astrolabe, the compass, and some additions to boats that made them overall better. I know that we can find more if we just keep exploring. Portugal had had a major impact on the world by setting the groundwork for other countries to sail.…

The Hindenburg Disaster The hindenburg was a large blimp that transported people over the atlantic. It was the fastest way to get across the atlantic at the time, and was significant to air technology. On it’s last flight in 1937, disaster struck, ending rigid airship transportation. The Hindenburg was just as big as the titanic, and was a huge advancement in the early 1900s. At 803.8 feet, it was a wonder. The Zeppelin was used as a five star hotel, only for high class customers. Hitler…

The empires of the Americans are shattered, and the empires of Europe hear the first rumbles in a gathering storm of nationalism. The Vienna Congress that brought the Napoleonic Wars to an end was meant to restore the old monarchical order, but the concert of balanced powers it sought to establish is already looking precarious. Whichever nations can seize this moment will dominate a new age.…
