Peter I of Russia

On a snowy night in 1892, The Nutcracker (originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Balletmaster Lev Ivanov) made its first appearance at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia.

things they have done in the past. Take 9/11 for an example, they took down those plans with hundreds of people in them and when they hit the buildings the killed thousands of innocent people. ISIS is honestly I think is trying to take out every country but their own and its scary. I understand that they have a different theory on everything but, what they are doing is wrong. They are all cold hearted monsters and will be nothing less. ISIS shouldn’t be a loud to come into our country, us…

the beginning when I started this class I had so many questions, that I couldn’t wait to get the answers to. One of my questions was, who were the first people to arrive to America? When did the first migrants arrive in America. Another curiosity dealt with me wanting to know more information on Beringia and when it was uncovered and available for others to travel. I am eager to provide the history of the Bering Land Bridge Theory. Thankfully after doing some thorough research I discovered some…

primary virtues which Jesus praised. The Pacifist holds that contrary to natural impulse, one should love his enemies. Disputes should not be allowed to cause resentment and animosity; they should be settled by arbitration and reconciliation. When Peter reached for his sword to defend Jesus in his hour of betrayal, pacifists remind us that he was rebuked and told, “All who take the sword will perish by the sword.” (Matt. 26:52).

This case in point shows how political leaders have been looking to ballet for their own gain since the 1600’s.

They also owed them an apology. The Russo-Japanese broke out in 1904 and Russia was kicked out of Manchuria. They established a sphere of influence and became elevated, now seen as a world power and imperial…
