Egyptian Pharaoh Standing Army
1,640 words
After the fall of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt a
group of nomadic people from Asia invaded and
captured Lower Egypt. These people were called the
Hyksos. Egypt lacked a standing army and their
weapons were far inferior to that of the invaders.
The weak rulers of the Thirteenth Dynasty led to
an internal struggle within the government, thus
ripping the empire into many small factions and
leaving it open to attack. During this time a
group of peoples from Asia immigrated to Egypt and

Aztec Empire Sole Ruler
1,914 words
In this paper I am going to compare and contrast
the lives of Hernando Cortes and Charlemagne. The
common point I am going to prove in my paper is
that they were both men who had other roles to
play, besides conquering lands, but at the end of
their time their most influential task was the
expansion of their kingdoms for their respected
regions, and they also defeated many strong
empires to do so. Charlemagne or in Latin Carolus
Magnus which means Charles the Great (Encarta,
Charlemagne, 1) was ...

United States Government State Of Georgia

Once the white men decided that they wanted lands
belonging to the Native Americans (Indians), the
United States Government did everything in its
power to help the white men acquire Indian land.
The US Government did everything from turning a
blind eye to passing legislature requiring the
Indians to give up their land (see Indian Removal
Bill of 1828). Aided by his bias against the
Indians, General Jackson set the Indian removal
into effect in the war of 1812 when he battled the
great Tecumseh a...

Of European Invasion Upon The Aboriginals Frontier
1,374 words
The European invasion of Australia in 1780
impacted upon the lives of all the Aboriginal
people that lived in and around the invaded areas.
When Captain Cook landed in Australia, he declared
it as Terra Nullius, and this alone gives a
significant insight as to the mentality of the
British and their willingness to acknowledge the
Aboriginal people and the importance that the land
played in their daily lives. Historians, for the
most part, accepted this assumption, assuming or
arguing that the exp...

Four Hundred Years Bosnia And Herzegovina

In history classes today (elementary, high school,

at events, instead they just give us a quick scan
of what happened, when, and why the events
mentioned are important. I have yet to have had a
history teacher get deep into the subject matter
of a certain event, or chain of events as I would
like. My favorite topic of history, or the area
that I find the most interesting would be the
