While modern day Spain is known as singular country governed under a King and a Prime Minister‚ it has not always been like that‚ particularly in the 15th century. What we call Spain today was divided into many different kingdoms centuries ago‚ the most powerful being the kingdom of Castile. In the year 1474‚ Castile’s King‚ Henry IV passed away leaving the throne unoccupied and open to be seized.

Should the U.S have entered into WW1? President Woodrow Wilson felt he had good reasons for the U.S to go to war‚ but I feel that they were the wrong reasons and that the U.S really had no just cause to get involved in a war that was not theirs. My first reason why America should not have gone to war is‚ this was not our war. This war was between Europe and it should have stayed within Europe.

This is a drawing depicting the reaction of passers-by in Berlin to the news of war being declared. I chose this piece specifically because of the "sketchy" style of drawing. I find that

As a modern poem”The Wasteland” “Eliot’s Waste Land is I think the justification of the ‘movement‚’ of our modern experiment‚ since 1900‚” wrote Ezra Pound shortly after the poem was published in 1922. T.S. Eliot’s poem describes a mood of deep disillusionment stemming both from the collective experience of the first world war and from Eliot’s personal travails.

The First World War was a monumental and detrimental global influenced conflict that brought about the destruction of at least ten-million lives‚ and forever changing millions more.

then infection will set in and kill them. In World War I Russia did not die from her wounds but died of infection. Yes Russia faced many problems during the First World War but so did everyone else and yet some of them‚ like the French‚ not only survived the war but ended up winning it.
