In China, the military of 60,000 soldiers overtook the Vietnamese and the Chinese Empire expanded. In the Gupta Empire, the royal officers go on inspection every five years to make sure people are being peaceful and following the Dhamma …show more content…

    One cannot celebrate a man who left so little impact on the world. Have you ever heard the name Zheng He? Likely not, and with good reason.

    In 1 Samuel 17, David shows how he has trust in God and he knows that he will win. In the beginning of 1 Samuel 17, no one will fight Goliath, so David steps up and says that he will. His brother told him that he was stupid thinking that he could go and kill Goliath. David told him that by the grace of God he will be able to defeat Goliath. His brother knew that he was right and got him ready to fight Goliath. Once he was ready, he approached the Philistine. Goliath told him that he was small, and that he would kill David easily. David replied, “You come at me with sword and spear and battle-ax. I come at you in the name of God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel’s troops, whom you curse and mock.” (1 Samuel 17:45)…

    Based on the documents, it can be inferred that Albert Parsons was indeed a threatening man. In document c, it asserts that the anarchists, including Albert Parsons, were very fond of dynamite (Document C). As known, dynamite is a high explosive substance that stimulates destruction and chaos. The evidence suggests that since Parsons was very affectionate to the use of dynamite, it can be inferred that he is a very chaotic and destructive individual that only seeks extremist methods to accomplish an objective. Moreover, in document d, an article published in the New York Times at the time, it is explained how Parsons incited rebellion and chaos by promoting his followers to overthrow the system through the use of violence. He conveys the idea that the problem is not found in a single individual but rather is found in their form of government (Document D).…

    Union is power. Work in unity is better than working individually. That is why the British North Americans thought of confederation. An individual or single power will most likely have a hard time fighting against a group of people with lots of power. The colonies wanted to join together so that they could fight against the United States. If the groups of colonies didn’t join together, they wouldn’t have the power to prevent the United States from controlling all of North America. There is also other reasons for why the Confederation of 1867 happened, like the ending of BNA’s trade relations with Britian and the U.S., the Fenian Raids, Political deadlock, and the impact of “Manufast Destiny” as the main cause of Confederation.…

    Voltaire Dbq Analysis

    Europeans treated non-Christians cruel, and unfair. Voltaire was a French philosopher and writer of the Age of Enlightenment. Voltaire urged people to stop people from treating each other wrong since they have different religions. Voltaire’s argument contradicted what was being done and the consequences that Document 5 has on the mindset in the 17th and 18th centuries is that he would be punished from saying bad things about Christians. In Document 5 it states, “But these people despise us; they treat us as isolators! Very well! I will tell them that they are grievously wrong.” This shows that Europeans think/believe that they are treating them fine and well but they think/believe the incorrect. This proves that Voltaire did show that Christians…

    There is no doubt that the age of Augustus was one of change, and this transformation was felt in all aspects of Roman life. The essays found within Galinsky’s Cambridge Companion to the Age of Augustus regarding art and architecture emphasize the first emperor’s influence. The princeps was able to use artwork and building projects to “Romanize” and, in a sense, “Augustanize” his diverse empire. From portraiture to wall painting, the first emperor was an ever-present force in the lives of his citizens.…

    Julius Caesar is perhaps the most well known in the history of Roman Emperors, yet there is no denying that his reign was filled with controversy, no reason more so than his devious rise to power and his mischievous ways of suppressing the senate. There is no doubt that in ruling as a Dictator; Caesar lost the support of the Roman people, who had fought for freedom against an Etruscan King, a role in which Caesar was playing. His death in 44BC coincided with what many believe to be the year in which the Republic completely its eventual ‘fall’ that it had been plummeting to since 133BC, and it is only by looking at the differences in the end of his reign to that of Augustus’ in 27BC that we can get a true idea of the extent to which he restored the Republic. Rome in 27BC and the years following, was more like a Republic in the people’s eyes, than it had been in other a 100 years, and Octavian as Augustus was at the forefront of this. Nevertheless, one has to assess to what extent Rome was once again a Republican state, as Augustus possessed many, if not even more, of the same powers that Julius Caesar had at his disposal, and that is the reason others say that he was similar, if not more of a Dictator than Caesar was, yet achieved power and support from those around him with them believing he was solely attempting to restore Rome to its Republican form.…
