Stresemann was between 1923-1929. I believe that Gustav Stresemann was significant to a certain extent. At some points he wasn’t all that significant but during a lot of other points he was very significant. Stresemann was appointed Chancellor of Weimar on the death of Ebert and served in this position around August 1923 to November 1923. After this date, he was to remain as Weimar’s Foreign Minister until his death. Gustav during these years had negative and positive outcomes when he was…

I claim that Billy the Kid was not a hero. Billy the Kid was not a hero because he was a murderer. A hero doesn't murder. Just because you kill someone doesn't mean you're not a hero. Many heroes have killed people. But there's a fine line between killing someone and murdering someone. The law even says so. According to the Bible and the Constitution of the United States of America, killing can be justified but never murder. A hero kills an evil person to defend the lives of others. A murder…

the Mahele was made, it was supposed to make it easier to own land, but instead it was harder for Hawaiians to own land. The land was auctioned off and was sometimes rigged, The Mahele was originally made to give the Hawaiians the land they were demanding.

The Reign of Terror: Was it Justified? The French Revolution was an important movement in world history. It marked the first time that the lowest class in a country had overthrown the highest class. In France, the Third Estate had decided that they had had enough of unfair taxes and inequality, and so they wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Man and forced the king at the time, Louis XVI, to share power with the National Assembly. As the Revolution gained more power, its leaders became more…

Was American imperialism morally justifiable? While many would think the answer would vary based on a person’s ethics and values, factual evidence shows us the commonly self-important motives of the United States during this time period. Despite these indications, we also see how some events pertaining to the “Era of Expansion” benefited both sides. To me, American imperialism was not only commonly sneaky, but, for the most part, immoral. The following paragraphs will show some examples of…

to suggest that the climate could actually have caused the Titanic to sink, but even though the climate kind of was a factor the crash still could generally have been avoided if the binoculars hadn’t been locked up. Therefore, the Titanic sank due mostly to man-made errors that ultimately caused the demise of the Titanic. One of the main causes of the Titanic's sinking is that it was not the built-in uniform fashion in a subtle way. The for all intents and purposes rivets were made of a much…

the year 1787 a man named Daniel Shays exposed the weakness of the confederal government, this done most of the town people thought Shays was a hero. One reason Shays was a hero was because he was arguing with an unfair government that wouldn't let the people of massachusetts vote and also the taxes were too high. With the taxes being too high “taxation was one of the leading causes of the american Revolution” (brainard). “I've been abused greatly, have been asked to do more than my part in…

great extent and easily get out of trouble it would not cost them anything to blame someone else for it. First, Tituba was the biggest scapegoat in The Crucible; Some reasons why she was easily targeted was because of the fact that she is from the lower class and no one really cared about her. Puritans in The Crucible would do whatever they could to blame others. Tituba herself was very vulnerable to being blamed for anything and could only do so much to break the blame. To add, at the…
