    Black Morocco is divided into two parts. The paired chapters of part 1 consider slavery within the broad Islamic legal and moral framework, on the one hand, and, on the other, within a specifically North African and Moroccan context during the medieval and early modern periods. Chapter 1 examines legal and moral perspectives on slavery in the Qur'an, ḥadīth literature, and Sunni legal traditions. El Hamel argues that interpreters of Islamic law chose to accommodate existing institutions of slavery and concubinage, ignoring the Qur'an's counsel against such practices. In chapter 2, the author thinks broadly about notions of color, descent, and servitude in Arab-Islamic thought of the medieval and early modern periods. El Hamel points out longstanding continuities in North African perceptions of racial difference and hierarchy, so that despite the enslavement of many different groups, and the possibility for the child of a male master and an enslaved woman to inherit or attain a high social status, "blackness" came to be associated with servitude. At the…

    In some ways Imperialism made the life of the native people better by building and maintaining new infrastructure that the natives didn’t have before. With the new infrastructure the natives were able to lead longer and happier lives with more amenities provided by things like libraries and hospitals.In India the railroad system put in place by the British is still running and useful today as are many of the roads and hospitals. These services and India’s huge population has led to India being one of the premier economies in the world today. However in the Belgian Congo these improvements were more temporary with very few being serviceable today, and even the ones that are serviceable do not offer much of a service to the natives because of the enormous limits on where they can go and what they can do. This is…

    On 24 October, the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (the Politburo) discussed the political upheavals in Poland and Hungary. A hard-line faction led by Molotov was pushing for intervention, but Khrushchev and Marshal Zhukov were initially opposed. A delegation in Budapest reported that the situation was not as dire as had been portrayed. Khrushchev stated that he believed that Party Secretary Ernő Gerő's request for intervention on 23 October indicated that the Hungarian Party still held the confidence of the Hungarian public. In addition, he saw the protests not as an ideological struggle, but as popular discontent over unresolved basic economic and social issues.…

    I achieved many military in my reign as King of England, but I am most known for the biggest invasion of France. My early military crusades began when I hitched with Pope Julius II’s Holy League against France in 1511. The Scots were defeated at Flodden in 1513, they saw this war as an opening to invade England. I was known as the ‘father of the Royal Navy’. When I became the King of England there were 5 royal warships, but during my final years, I had built up a navy of more than 50 ships. Between 1509 and 1511 I was behind the commissioning of England’s first gunship called Mary Rose which was my pride and joy and unfortunately sunk later in 1545 – I was devastated when she sank. In the 1540’s I created great numbers of costal fortresses…

    Crusading ideas had a profound impact on peninsular life. After the eleventh century, northern influences such as crusading ideology permeated Spain in many ways. The notion of crusading fueled nationalist fervor as generations were taught that their ancestors had waged a crusade against threatening Muslims, leading the crusading ideology of the reconquest to be transferred to the experiences of the New World. Because of the international character of the reconquest and the involvement of the papacy and subsequent use of indulgences, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula can be rightfully classified as a crusade.…

    The ASF Framework Analysis

    Another challenge is an outdated ASF framework to operationalize a force. It is now fourteen years since the ASF Framework was formulated and the operating environment has changed since then. The framework outlines the scenarios to guide the deployment of the ASF. However, these scenarios do not conform to the current environment. Currently, all the UN/AU peacekeeping missions in the African continent fall into scenario five and under chapter VII of the UN Charter. Therefore, scenario one to four have become obsolete, because they are not applicable to the current environment in the African continent. The UN/AU employ these scenarios to argument multidimensional peacekeeping missions, scenario five. For the reason that the current environment…
