When France became the protectorate of Morocco through the Treaty of Fez in 1912, there was a rebellion shortly after and lead by the Istiqual. Eventually in 1956, the French were removed as the…

Many merchants did not have to make such a long journey due to middlemen on the trade routes, so they would not have been exposed to such a stark change in cultures. In the 11th and 12th centuries, Europeans were not very open-minded when it came to…

Charles Darwin said: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” People have been changed by different circumstances; if they want to live better, they should try to adapt to new environments. Children of immigrants must learn new languages and rules of behaviors in new countries that are different from their parents. School experiences also teach children how to be stronger and more mature, and…

The Mongol Empire was the world's largest contiguous empire in history, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to Eastern Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries. Although emerging from the Mongolian steppes as uncivilized nomads lacking a basic government structure in 1206; the Mongols quickly adapted and developed an elaborate political structure to rule their vast empire. They were led by Temujin Khan, later renamed Genghis Khan, meaning “universal ruler” who amassed his following by uniting…

be progress. At first the momentum was gradual, almost imperceptible, checked by wars and the Dark Ages and plagues and taboos; but in recent centuries it has accelerated, the curve of every graph steepening like the Himalayas rising from the Asian steppe. We have climbed quite high. Of course, fifty years ago one could have said the same thing, and fifty years before that, and fifty years before that. But in each case it would have been premature. We've increased the population fourfold in that…

of Genghis Kahn particularly reflects the harshness of the people and of the conditions they lived in, the divine power and their mission from God, their value of knowledge, and the fairness they had towards their people. The Mongols lived in the steppes of China where the terrain was rough and the environment was harsh. The terrain consisted of barren flat lands and the air was blustery. The harshness of the terrain in Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Kahn…

Comparing Two Men in History The two people I have chosen to compare are Adolf Hitler and Genghis Khan because they are both people who did bad things that affect many people, and did things that lead to war, and involved killing a bunch of people, both ended up dead or being killed for what they did. Adolf Hitler was born in Austria on April 20, 1889 and then when he was three years old he and his family had moved to Germany, and from 1933-1945 he was the chancellor and was dictator from…

only two thirds god and one third human, he is not immortal. In the text, Enkidu falls ill, and Gilgamesh “would not give him up for burial, until a worm fell out his nose,” later saying “I was frightened. I have grown afraid of death, so I roam the steppe” (138). Gilgamesh realizes that if even his companion, the person he sees as an equal is not immune to death, neither is he. Gilgamesh searches for the only person to receive immortality, Utanpishtim. Gilgamesh then asks him “How did you join…
