Northwest

they are predominately known for their historic expedition along the Mississippi River to the Coast of Oregon in what is widely known as the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Their achievements would later be used to argue that the U.S owned the Pacific Northwest while the expedition also paved the way westward for American expansion into the Pacific (Miller, 2008, 4). As a result, Lewis and Clark played a pivotal role in providing scientific data and documentation that will remain forever relevant…

in my progression towards my career objective. Secondly, I want to be a manager in the Pacific Northwest. I fell in love with that part of the country in 1998 and have had aspirations of living there since I first visited. Maybe it was Junior Griffey, maybe it was the abundance of sequoias and pine trees, or maybe it was Mount Rainier. For a kid who grew up in North Dakota then Ohio, the Pacific Northwest was wild and different. Sequim presents a great opportunity to work with a variety of…

the leadership of Genghis Khan and his revolutionary military strategies that allowed his armies to easily overtake armies larger than their own. The Mongols began their conquest of China first by attacking and dominating the Tibetan state to the Northwest of China and the Manchu state of Jin that ruled Northern China. From there the Mongol forces took control of Beijing in 1227. This siege ultimately ended in the death of Genghis Khan, but his death did not stop the conquest of China. From…

I am John; the youngest son of Blas and Kathleen Matic- impoverished young couple that migrated from Yugoslavia to make a new life in Australia. I have tried to compile a story of their life-their hopes, their fears their successes and their happiness. Much of the story has been compiled from my memory of talks with Mum and Dad, discussions with my elder sister Teresa and older brother Joseph. Unfortunately the amazing story of their life did not rate much importance to me until the last few…

About the Author: My name is Robert Williams, and i am from St.Louis, Missouri. I am 26 years old, and got my house bombed by the Luftwaffe, about 2 weeks ago. On December 16 1944, Adolf Hitler attempted to split the Allied armies in northwest Europe. He attempted that with a surprise blitzkrieg thrust through the Ardennes to Antwerp.

The Louisiana Purchase in 1803,the United States obtained roughly 828,000,000 square miles of domain from France, in this manner multiplying the youthful span republic. What was known as the Louisiana Territory extended from the Mississippi River in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west and from the Gulf of Mexico in the south to the Canadian outskirt in the north. Part or all of the 15 states were in the long run made from the area bargain, which is viewed as a standout amongst the most…

With the commencement of hostilities in April 1861, the Civil War was largely seen as a dispute over states’ rights. From a military standpoint, the South largely considered that its reserve of highly trained military officers and martial tradition of élan would make the difference in a quick, decisive war that would be over by Christmas. The reality of the situation would prove far different. The Civil War was largely the first industrial war, and was perhaps inevitable that the domination of…

Tragically in the next five years the world will be faced with new challenges. However, the United States will be faced with the most. The most eminent challenge the U.S. will face is HIV/AIDS. Like majority of the american population I have baffled around with the topic. Most people who speak or make comments about HIV or AIDS are conversations of Ignorance.
