The Russian Revolution

2010-01-13T06:11:00.000-08:00

The economic factors were the main factors contributing to the Revolution, as they resulted in poverty, misery and exploitation of the masses by the nobility.Russia was mainly a highly backward agricultural country before the revolution. The royal family, the nobility and the clergy owned most of the agricultural land. Only between three and ten acres of land was owned by 70% of the peasants. Many of them had to earn their livelihood only 2½ acres land or even less. In addition they had to use primitive tools, implements and methods of cultivation, which were not very productive.

The primary causes of the war: Nationalism, Militarism, Assassination of Franz Ferdinand and the collapse of the alliance system.

3 Main Causes Of The World War 1

*The Assasination of Archduke Ferdinand

Two bullets fired on a Sarajevo street on a sunny June morning in 1914 set in motion a series of events that shaped the world we live in today. World War One, World War Two, the Cold War and its conclusion all trace their origins to the gunshots that interrupted that summer day.

*The rise of Nationalism

Political change swept the world at the end of World War I. Of the many factors that contributed to this turbulence, some of the most notable are the end of many monarchies and the weakening of others; in Europe, the end of the Hapsburg Empire (which was the last remnant of the Holy Roman Empire); the beginning of the end of Colonialism; and perhaps most importantly the rise of two bitterly opposed socialist ideologies.
*The building up of the Military and Aliances

It was to show the countries that the Europeans conquered in parts of the Americas, and Africa. It was also to show the divisions of the countries in those continents. We also did it to show the shipping routes and what they traded to each other. I learned how many countries were conquered by various European countries such as Great Britain and Spain. I also learned things they traded such as Gold and Silver. I also learned that Great Britain traded China Opium to get tea because China wouldn't open up for trade with foreign countries and so they traded Opium since the Chinese would get addicted and eventually traded tea. This then led to the Opium Wars and Great Britain won easily.

He believed that there was a permanent class struggle between workers and the bosses.He belived that capitalism would destroy the south.The reason why he believed this was due to the fact that he saw 2 great classes in capitalism at war with each other.The first was proletariet or the working class and the second class was the bourgeoisie or the owners of businesses.He belived that that the proletariet would eventually begin a revolution and take over the country.Then they would controll all the businesses.

Nationalism

2009-10-27T06:02:00.000-07:00

Nationalism-the desire for national advancement or independence.

I am nationalistic because my 1st loyalty is not to my family nor the government but to my country.What makes me show that im nationalistic is that i want the best of my country,I want my country to be strong and to be respected by the world.Like the acient romans i want my country to be both loved and feared.Itlay Wasnt one country so it had mini states and some of these states were The kingdom of the two sicilies,Papal States venitia,lombardy,piedmont and savoy.

Nationalisam can be both unifying or disunifying.It helped itlay gain freedom.Italy became italy beacause of a guy named Giuseppe Garibaldi and the red shirts united the different parts of Italy.

On the other hand nationalism has torn apart countries.all we need to do is look at the examples of the Ottoman Empire,The Austro-Hungarian Empire,And the Russian Empire.

John Locke "The Enlightment"

2009-09-26T19:06:00.000-07:00

What Thomas Jefferson means he wants everyone to have these specific right these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The government got its powers from principles and a good foundation.Most governments were absolute monarchies. This meant that the king had total control and the people had no rights. Thomas Jefferson was probably the most famous of the American Revolution.Jefferson was himself influenced by the ideas of John Locke. All we have to is compare Locke`s ideas about life liberty and the pursuit of property and Jefferson's idea is about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.Another one of Locke`s ideas is that the government got its power from the people.This is an important idea of democracy in america up to today.

Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

2009-09-18T06:07:00.000-07:00

Geocentic Theory came first. The Heilocentrism theory came out of the scientidic revolution.The heilocentrism is right because the earth is not in the center of the universe. the sun is. The galileo trial was basically he had to say he was wrong or else they would have to kill him. He believed in his ideas and the church believed in the bible thats basically why they didn't like him.

Heliocentric.The geocentric explanation of the solar system is that the Earth was the center of everything, and everything else revolves around it. Back in the day, this idea was popular among the Greeks and the Chinese. Philosophers also thought that the stars, sun, and planets circled the Earth in a perfectly circle motion.

The heliocentrism explanation of the solar system is that the Sun is the center of everything, and all the other planets revolve around it. The planets that circle the Sun circle the sun an an elliptical shape. Heliocentrism is the only correct explanation of our solar system. Nicoluas Copernicus mathematically proved the heliocentrism explanation of the solar system right. Johaness Kepler helped expand this idea. Heliocentrism was developed by the scientific revolution.Lots Of Religions are strongly against this theory becuase it conflicted with their religion. Today, almost everyone accepts this theory.

The Scientific Method

2009-09-17T11:53:00.000-07:00

Scientists during the Scientific Revolution relied on the Scientific Method to gain knowledge and information. The Scientific Method is a procedure scientists used to discover new things about the world. The first thing you do to in a scientific method is making a hypothesis. A hypothesis is an educated guess based on observations. Many experiments use the scientific method.For instance Aristotle's theory was that heavier objects feel faster then lighter objects. For that to be proven correct took a couple of years.

Evolution VS Creation

2009-09-15T06:28:00.000-07:00

Evolution is slow change and evolve changes throughout a long period of time. Charles Darwin came up with animals adapt to where they live.He believed that we evolved from primates.Evolution is like something changing over generations.Even if the traits are passed down by generation are mostly small.They start to change after a while.

If someone were to ask me if I believed in evolution or creation, it would be creation. Why? It's because I'm Muslim, and creation is part of my belief. My parents are Muslim too. Most of my friends are also Muslim. Here are some other reasons why I believe in creation.I believe in creation not just because God is God. It's because God has created everything we know, see, and cannot see in this world. He is the Creator and the very source of this world.

Well I think I'm going to go with Creation because you I do not believe in some guy that has a theory even if he researched and studied for years. you have a holy bible,Torah,Quran that is telling you everything straight up.Also it even has miracles that happened and signs that are happening today.So why would I Believe in a theory that some guy that believed we came from primates.Well This is just my opinion.Someone else might look at it in a different angle.
