By definition, women's suffrage is the right for
women to vote. Women's suffrage started back as
far as the 1600 's. I am going to talk about the
1800 's. Women's suffrage upset many women in the
United States. Women were known to be in the home
at all times. They were there to give care for the
their husbands and children. Politicians feared
women coming in the political race because they
thought that women might vote them out of office.
In the early 19 th century, women were considered

... this becomes a serious problem for Hitler.
Without allies, the Nazis would surely fail. It is
here that Hitler used his diplomatic skills to
make other countries forget the past. Hitler began
with Great Britain, encouraging British
rearmament, along with fortifying Great Britains
understanding that they possessed the strongest
navy in Europe. Hitler did the same with Italy,
wooing them with the possibility of Germany and
Italy taking over Europe. It was also clear that

"How the British Empire tried to enforce obedience
through Taxation" Any historical event with-world
changing consequences will always have two sides
to the story. What most Americans refer to today
as the American Revolution is no different. As
Americans, most of us view eighteenth-century
England as a tyrannical power across the ocean,
and see men like George Washington as heroes who
fought against the oppressor. If history and wars

Archduke Francis Ferdinand President Woodrow Wilson

It is thought that this war that is been ongoing
for over a year, began with the assassination of
the Archduke Francis Ferdinand; however, many
other reasons led to this war. Some occurring
reasons date as far back as the late 1800 's.
Nationalism, militarism, imperialism, and the
system of alliances were four main factors that
pressed the great powers towards this explosive
war. Nationalism is the love of one's country
rather that the love of a native region.

American life. The popula's of the thirteen

umbrella of protection, ignoring and denying her
place in the Asian region, and struggling to find

her welfare and security. Australia truly finds
