Catholicism. This belief in the conversion of the
Indians is what drove the Spanish to conquer,
settle and govern the New World. The Castilian's

Nuclear Arms Race War With Japan

Regret is unacceptable in terms of using a

it was used, it may have seemed to be the only
solution to bring peace. This paper will examine
the untimeliness of the bomb as manifested in
postwar regret and nuclear warfare. The surprise

Spread Of Disease Infectious Diseases

It is often said that in the centuries after
Columbus landed in the New World on 12 October,
1492, more native North Americans died each year
