The French Revolution was an example of how culture brings revolutions; that they are made and do not simple come. This can clearly be seen in the counterrevolution that followed the removal of the King and the creation of the French Republic. De-Christianization fueled the counterrevolution by alienating the provinces of France. This shows how important it is to have a sense of inclusion, symbolism, and volunteerism for an efficient revolution. Religion is one of the few things that can transect

The Maya didn't calculate for the orbital offset on their Haab' calendar so the dating of
The Republican Party in Philadelphia has not won a mayor's race since 1951. It is said that the future of the Republican Party in Philadelphia is not a competition for Democrats since more people prefer democrats instead of Republicans.

Even though more than half of the voters believe republicans are against helping the middle class and focus only on the rich class, many people are complaining
Winner’s Curse: An Evaluation of Presidents Truman and Ford When one thinks of great presidents, neither Harry S. Truman nor Gerald R. Ford may come up first in one’s mind.
