British Indian Empire was divided into two
countries: India and Pakistan. The partition of
British India into an independent India and
Pakistan was a very complicated problem. The
British had made no preparation for such things as

and military resources were unfairly divided,
based on a ratio favorable to Indi...

all empires, the three Muslim Empires, the
Ottomans, Safavid's, and Mughals have faced this
inevitable state. Although each individual empire
is different, they each have similarities in their
reasons for decline. Whether it is social,

capabilities of the group, but in the lack of an
artistic legacy that was lost during the life of a

American President Is First Citizen

The first citizen of a nation can be seen as an
individual who is at the head of his institution
and also one of his own citizens. It may seem
ironic or even impossible that a person can assume
such high standing while maintaining the typical
image of his fellow men. But with the unique
structure of the American Government and the many
interesting facets of its President, the American
Presidency can assume such roles. Since the
military is headed by civilian control, the
President's status as Co...

Napoleon was able to control, and expand his

in knowing how to rule. There is no doubt in the
fact that the French Revolution created Napoleon
Bonaparte (Connelly Owen, Encarta 99). This was
the man who in 1799, combined a passion for power
with his genius for leadership. Although to many
