The genocide may have been viewed differently if Hutus were able to regain order after the genocide. Maybe we would have seen the genocide as an African revolution and those incarcerated…

Nuclear Arms Race “If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce.” - Winston Churchill. The arms race during the Cold War was a challenge between the United States and Soviet Union to create nuclear weapons to use on each other.

"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat," said Winston Churchill. The people born between the years of 1910 and 1925 are known as the "Greatest Generation," but what makes this generation so great?

The story of Abel S. is one of many from this time, but still special in its own way. "Growing up back then made me learn real quick that life needed…

In 1945, Britain still had one of the largest empires in the world. As soon as WWII ended, Britain went through a major social change.
