The Fall of Constantinople in 1453 was a significant turning point in history for both positive and negative reasons. Negatively, it was a dark attack that caused a religious shift from the dominant center of the Christian Orthodox church to the Islamic faith. It proved that the most heavily fortified and greatest city of its time, though defeating every enemy in the past, was still able to be conquered in less than two months. Lastly, it led to heavy casualties and the destruction of the…

August 4, 1892 the two bodies of Andrew and Abby Borden were found slain with what appeared to be an axe in their Massachusetts home located in the town of Fall River.

Speculation focused on the youngest daughter of the two Borden girls, Elizabeth (Lizzie) Andrew Borden a Sunday school teacher and the head of the local hospital’s Fruit and Flower Mission. A seemingly unfit candidate for the axe-wielding…

The tour guide starts going over safety protocol, like what they do on airplanes. He went over what to do if one of us falls out or the raft flips over. This was not comforting to hear, caused me to get anxious. I had these thoughts of the raft flipping in my mind. I can see the white-water in the distance. We draw closer and closer to it, all the while my heartbeat increases…

The Uinta Mountains are known for their great appearance of life and its tranquility. This can be seen just a couple of feet away from the well known Mirror Lake Highway. While I am here, I witness multiple coyotes, beaver dams, deer, cows, and much more. The geographical features are outstanding as well.

Also the picturesque scenery is like it is straight out of a picture. I am very lucky to be have been able to grow up in a small town with the abundance of lakes and beautiful mountains. A.B Guthrie furthers this point when he explains Idaho with…

The Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks was a devastating moment in history. After many attacks the city had faced, the empire was becoming weak. The crusades left the Roman’s still recovering and still trying to rebuild the damage done to their empire. After studying the primary sources and the secondary sources, we can say that the reason for the fall of the city was because the Romans did not have the necessary resources to fight of the Turks which left the Romans weak, giving the…
