Some came from eastern American states, others from the Midwest, and the rest came from states in the South. They came to work on ranches and drive cattle on the trail. "Many were ex-rebel soldiers who maintained that attitude on the trail. There was also a flood of renegades from both north and south that went to Texas. This is how Texas got a reputation for lawlessness and violence" (The ). Being a cowboy, for some, had a special status. in the W .....

.... absurd and impossible ultimatum to Serbia knowing that she would reject it and hence giving Austria-Hungary justification for declaring war. But the majority of the blame for the first world war could be put on Germany. She pressured Austria-Hungary into declaring war on Serbia because she needed an excuse to fight. Germany wanted to prove that she was supreme. The assassination, the ultimatum and Germany's quest for power all contributed to the firing of the ultimate war engine. Considering that Austria-Hungary was responding in a retaliatory way, she nevertheless was a significant factor in ensuring that war was inevitable. On June 28, 1914, a Serbian t .....

.... browns, greens, yellows, blues and some violet. These colours create a sense of harmony on the painting as each colour moulds into the scenario thus heightening the expressive qualities of the artwork. The colour used is important to the artwork because together they create a place of tranquillity meeting on coming havoc. The lines that are used do not outline individual objects in the painting but define the shapes of each. They show the direction that the artist took when painting this particular art piece. They are delicate and sensitive lines in the sense that they are not always visible but they still define the object. The painting has be .....

.... lead to problems in the gender relations in post war America. One of the major problems that G.I.'s faced upon there return to the States was the availability of jobs. During the war, the U.S. government encouraged women and minorities to enter the industrial work force due to labor shortages and increased demand for war goods. By 1944 a total of 1,360,000 women with husbands in the service had entered the work force. This, along with the a migration of African-American workers from the south, filled the war time need for labor. This attitude toward women in the work force changed dramatically at the end of the war. The propaganda promoting "Rosie t .....

.... In November 1979 when the Shah went in the United States for Medical reasons, the Iranian militants took over the American embassy in Tehran taking 53 people hostage.

.... Senate, Democrat Francis Spinola had been a vigorous foe of Republican policies and Lincoln. But now he swore his loyalty with stirring words, "This is my flag, which I will follow and defend." This speech gave great assurance that the masses in the great cities were devoted to the Union and ready to enlist for its defense. More than 400,000 European immigrants fought for the Union, including more than 170,00 Germans and more than 150,00 Irish. Many saw their services as a proud sacrifice. The first officer to die for the Union was Captain Constatin Blandowski, one of many immigrants who earlier had fought for freedom in Euro .....

.... from high amounts of radiation does not only happen to people in the immediate area of the nuclear accident. Although these people are the most effected, they are by far not the only ones. Radiation can be carried in many products, including food which is the most common and easy way to become sick from radiation poisoning. Cattle in the area of radiation may appear to be healthy but the milk they produce and the meat they give should not be eaten. As you can see, radiation can very easily be transferred from one point to another and ingested by someone without even their knowledge that there is a problem. The government of the Soviet Union was the owner o .....

.... previously promised, the entire conflict was managed in order to meet personal political agendas and to remain politically correct in the world's eyes rather than to bring a quick and decisive end to the conflict. This can be seen in the selective bombing of Hanoi throughout the course of the Vietnam War. Politically this strategy looked very good. However, militarily it was ludicrous. War is the one arena in which politicians have no place. War is the military's sole purpose. Therefore, the U. S. Military should be allowed to conduct any war, conflict, or police action that it has been committed to without political interference or control because of the .....
