from the Ottoman empire as well as the forming of its own constitutional monarchy. The revolution was inspired by the French revolution. A cause of the revolution was the rise of poetry and literature which inspired a renaissance. Throughout the Ottoman empires reign, works or literature was composed and passed through which focused on the glorious history of Serbia before the Ottoman rule. This was became a powerful inspiration to Serbian people who seeked for freedom under the Ottoman rule. Another
In 1915, leaders of the Turkish government set in motion a plan to expel and massacre the Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. Though reports vary, most sources agree that there were about 2 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire at the time of the massacre. By the early 1920s, when the massacres and deportations finally ended, some 1.5 million of Turkey’s Armenians were dead, with many more forcibly removed from the country. Today, most historians call this event a genocide–a premeditated and
some powerful states to empires. However, there were already clear empires during this period. The conflicts of both World War one (WWI) and World War two (WW II) can be seen as similar in the sense that as powerful states underwent continued growth and modernisation, then begun imperialising in order to access more resources by annexing land, much like the British Empire during the 19th century. However, established powers endeavoured to halt the expansionism expressed by these states. As a result
thus it requires precision to prevent death. Therefore, dictators and their launching organisation usually come into power through force or slick strategies. However, after ascending the throne, to prevent power struggle and a potential coup from the launching party, dictators will usually resort to three different strategies, namely terrorisation on the leadership of launching party, co-optation and organisation proliferation. Nevertheless, the three different strategies might lead
“One of the first actions carried out by Britain at the start of the war was to cut Germany’s undersea communication cables, ensuring that Britain had a monopoly on the fastest means of transmitting news from Europe to press agencies in the United States of America”(Cooke 1). This evidence is important because it shows that once the war started Britain tried to gain full control of the story about the war that America would be hearing. Britain trying to get
pressures culminated in some of the most ferocious violence history has ever witnessed. From the Napoleonic, Balkan, and Boer wars right up to the Franco-Russian, and Russo-Japanese conflicts, the boastful displays of power by the world’s most powerful states only emphasised just how much importance was placed upon the military elites of the world’s greater powers. It is widely believed that this accumulation of conflicts, hostilities, and political strife were significant factors in the emergence of the
World War I started in 1914, after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and lasted until 1918. During the dispute, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire, the Central Powers, fought against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan and the United States, the Allied Powers. The main cause of WWI was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife at Sarajevo on the 28th of June in 1914. However, historians feel that a number of factors contributed
The start of Western civilization, the small country of Greece has had a long and truly eventful history. At one time Greece was a major center of science, philosophy, and art. Today they are a country with political and economic problems. Geographical Landforms Greece has over 2,000 islands in the Mediterranean and Ionian seas. Only 170 of those islands are actually inhabited by people. These islands are grouped into the Northern Sporades, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, and the Ionian islands
claimed that it was not deliberate or systematic, while they are somewhat correct in the killings not being systematic rather a free for all, but the murders were most definitely deliberate. I think that it was genocidal in that there was some organisation to the killings and as we know today many people have not even heard of the Armenians so the mass killings are obvious. Therefore I wanted to research the Armenian Genocide and my focus questions are: Why did the genocide occur? What happened during
Constant warfare brought about the need for military organisation, taxation and technological advancement. Kinship was suppressed in favour of impersonal administration. The Qin state builders saw early that the kinship networks of earlier ages were impediments to the accumulation of power, so they implemented policies deliberately intended to replace them with a system that tied individuals directly to the state. This doctrine was called Legalism. Confucianism exists and imposes
propaganda/recruitment tool for Hezbollah, the use of official websites such as www.hizbollah.tv and the personal page of Hassan Nasrallah www.nasrollah.org are proof of that. Nevertheless, the use of social media by other groups, for instance Islamic State, is heavily used as method of recruitment however, there is no public evidence of its utilisation by
The main sources of income in Charles’s reign were trade, taxation, such as on the Church and bullion from the New World, which Kamen states was a fundamental cash resource . Trade was especially profitable as initially Castile had the exclusive right to trade with the New World. Imports of bullion from the New World to Spain provided a cash inflow as Charles was able to apply a 20% tax
Islamophobia’s occurrence in any particular country has little do with the presence of Muslim; it is possible to be Islamophobic when there are virtually no Muslim around. This because the lack of Muslims is filled by the surplus of Islamophobic representations. This surplus of representations is now increasingly reliant on the internet. There are many studies reporting on Islamophobia on the internet, classifying the negative representations, the targeted acts of aggressive online behaviour (trolling)
