Language is a means of communication. Human beings have the most complicated language which have many systems within the same system. There are more than 6000 languages around the world (Anderson, 2010). The speaker of any language determine the history of the language and how it has been codified in dictionaries and what is should be a language or correct language and what it should not be a language or correct language.

may not have been a conscious proponent of colonialism as Toprak and Köseoglu suggest. The Turkish economists hypothesise “Cook… [was] a representative of British colonists, whose ultimate goal is to dominate… the colonised.” In light of the British Empire, it is easy to identify Cook as a pioneer of colonialism in retrospect.

In order to try and save the French economy, Louis XV raised taxes. After multiple failed tax reforms, France continued to go deeper into debt. Over half of France’s annual budget went to paying interest of their increasing debt. Another contributing factor to France’s debt is the fact that they have no…

The French Revolution was an epoch of sweeping social and political turmoil in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799 during spreading out of the French Empire. The Revolution toppled the Empire, set up a state, went through critical periods of turmoil and extreme crisis, and finally ended up in another form of dictatorship, sadly, under the ironically fake label of equality, liberty and fraternity. A movement ostensibly directed against despotism culminated in the establishment of a despotism…

The Women’s March on Versailles is one of the earliest and most crucial events that took place during the French Revolution. On the…

in order to supplement the existing exports of rice and cassava. When the French arrived and took control, they did wide-scale deforestations as trees are cleared to plant cane, cotton and coffee beans. The French took over the most fertile land and locals work for them in slave-like conditions. Railways were introduced, roads were improved and the overall appeal and look of the cities in Madagascar changed since the French had done some different changes to it. France and Madagascar’s economy…
