This proclamation marked…

On October 8, 1971, Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau announced multiculturalism as an official government policy in front of the House of Commons. This policy was implemented on the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism in their final report, stating that minority groups should be given support and acknowledgement in preserving their culture. In short, the policy encourages a vision of Canada that is based on the values of equality and mutual respect in…

Despite the isolationist values the United States had during the era of World War I, it was almost unavoidable that the country would eventually join the war. Which is why it is critical to look at President Woodrow Wilson’s speeches he made before and after entering World War I. His speech that was created before the United States entered in 1917 “A World League of Peace” hold subtle, but important differences and similarities from his second speech, “The Fourteen Points.” I honestly believe…

Signed on June 28th 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was a peace settlement written and was signed by Germany and the allies in Paris at…

There is a strong argument from the documents that the Dardanelles campaign was not ‘a civilian plan’. The decision to launch the campaign was taken by the War Council, which included both politicians (including Asquith as PM, Churchill as First Lord of the Admiralty) and experienced military personnel (Kitchener as Secretary of State for War and Fisher as First Sea Lord). In addition, the plan itself was devised and prepared by the British Commander of the Mediterranean Fleet (Vice Admiral…

Napoléon Bonaparte has died at Saint Helena, but his legacy of power and domination still shakes Europe. The empires of the Americans are shattered, and the empires of Europe hear the first rumbles in a gathering storm of nationalism. The Vienna Congress that brought the Napoleonic Wars to an end was meant to restore the old monarchical order, but the concert of balanced powers it sought to establish is already looking precarious. Whichever nations can seize this moment will dominate a new age.…

Some of the factors that had contributed to World War I were: a). militarism, b). alliances, c). imperialism/nationalism. The militarism was because Germany, Italy, and France began creating a massive military force in the European continent. So this could be considered A and B because militarism and alliances were building up together. The imperialism/nationalism was due to the fact that the Russian empire wanted to expand it's territory to the Caspian Sea to expand its trade routes. Meanwhile,…
