.... were personified with their own "deity". This assigning of Gods to naturally occurring events is called "Animism". The ancient people believed that a God controlled the rain, a different God controlled the wind and most importantly, a God controlled the hunt. Archaeological evidence suggests our ancestors made use of what is called "sympathetic" magick. To have a successful hunt, the tribe would make a life-like version of the animal they hoped to kill, and would act out the hunt. They believed that this would positively affect the real hunt. Among animism and sympathetic magick, there was also a Goddess of fertility. There was a high mortality rate and to p .....

.... military draft and increased their forces as well. Great Britain was not very concerned about military forces. However, since Great Britain is an “island country” it was known to have the world’s strongest navy. In 1898, Germany began to build its naval force. This competition of power made Germany an enemy of Great Britain. The British navy formed blockades that kept supplies from reaching German ports. By 1916, Germany was in serious need of food and other supplies. Germany fought back with submarines, which were called U-boats. Germany set up a submarine blockade to prevent supplies from getting to Great Britain. The U-boats destroyed many g .....

.... a slim margin, but the history of discrimination goes much further back than that, to the beginning of the European settlement of South Africa in the 1600’s. The East India Trading Company set up a post at Cape of Good Hope to supply passing ships with fruits, vegetables and meat. The post was not meant to be a settlement, but those posted there built homes, cultivated crops, and got ‘settled in’. The natives of the are understandably disliked strangers invading their land. The East India Company tried to keep the tension at a minimum, and limited the amount of land the settlers could use and the amount of crops they could grow. The amount g .....

.... opposite from the truth. The War in reality showed the separation of the lower classes from the rich. World War I also showed the disagreements of the people about going to war. Although he preached equality, women and blacks who were both vital in the war, still did not have the same rights that the constitution guaranteed. Immigrants who went to America were treated unfairly as the enemy. The Immigrants were treated as spies and were ridiculed by the American government, and the American people. The immigrants rights were violated, because we were at war. Opponents of the war were equally criticized and were called traitors. War in reality showed that Ameri .....

.... western art forever. The groundbreaking Demoiselles d’Avignon was controversial not only for the way the women looked but also for the positions of the women. Although Picasso did not emphasize on detail, he “saw that the rational, often geometric breakdown if the human head and body employed by so many African artists could provide him with the starting point for his own re-appraisal of his subjects”(Cubism 53). “The naked women become inextricably bound up in a flux of shapes or planes which tip backwards and forwards from the two-dimensional surface to produce much the same sensation as an elaborate sculpture…”(Cubism 54). Futurism was an art movement, whi .....

.... in all of the territories and future states governed by the bill. This didn't cause many problems because many people subscribed to the natural limit theory. Simply stated the theory said slaves = cotton or slaves = tobacco. Slavery was thought to be undesirable in areas where it was not applicable, thus slavery would contain itself by economics. Although this theory was popular it proves to be fantasy. This method of thinking and the Northwest Ordinance started our young country down the dark road that would end in the War of the Rebellion. Extension of slavery next became an argument and hot topic at the Philadelphia Convention in the fall of 178 .....

.... And, colourful symbolic masks and costumes where used. Medieval Theater started in churches - the reason why medieval plays were about bible stories. At first, it became customary for priests to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter. These acts attracted large crowds, and more elaborate versions were created, when crowds increased so much, that seating extended out onto the steps and streets. Finally the church refused to allowed priests to partake in any such events again, so ordinary people began these performances outside. Performances were set in the town square, with several stage settings around the square. This was as such, becau .....

.... killing innocent white settlers. As they encountered the Europeans, automatically their material world was changed. The American Indians were amazed by the physical looks of the white settlers, their way of dressing and also by their language. The first Indian-White encounter was very peaceful and trade was their principal interaction. Tension and disputes were sometimes resolved by force but more often by negotiation or treaties. On the other hand, the Natives were described as strong and very innocent creatures awaiting for the first opportunity to be christianized. The Indians were called the “Noble Savages” by the settlers because they were co .....
