.... different ideas on the building of the building of the Great Pyramid. Clifford Wilson has the most acceptable theory compared to the other two individual’s arguments. In Clifford Wilson’s theory, he suggests that the pyramids were built with the “heave-ho� method. With the use of sleds made from wood that is easily imported from Phoenicia and rope, it is an acceptable theory on how the Great Pyramid was built. Wilson has also seen workers, using a single rope and pulley, move stones as the supervisor chants out instructions. One question that arises is how the builders were able to lift the stones into place. Wilson explains .....

.... Germany (Craig 424). Germans did not like this treaty because their government would have to pay other countries for their economic losses (Allen 57). Germany also lost all of its colonies overseas. It had to give back provinces to France, Belgium, and Denmark. France got German coal mines and Gda sk, now a city in Poland, became a "free city." Poland gained most of Western Prussia and Germany's Rhineland was demilitarized, although allied troops occupied it for fifteen years after the war (Shirer 59). The Treaty also solely held Germany responsible for the War in a "war guilt" clause which greatly upset the Germans. When the Ger .....

.... economic success. Yet the opportunities for many American settlers also would cost a high price on the native people. The quality of life for the settlers had improved but was at the expense of the Indians of the region. Settlers poured in by millions looking for a better life, brought with them great catastrophic changes to these tribes. The native people were free nomadic people who were largely dependant on the buffalo. As the settlers came in the buffalo was killed for food and sport. Between 1872 and 1874, close to nine million buffalos were killed and without the buffalo many tribes could no longer roam, be self sufficient and were c .....

.... 30 percent of infants died from disease before their first birthday. Mothers also ran a high chance of contracting disease during childbirth, thus many mothers died giving birth. Childbirth was such a risk to the women during of the 18th century that Madame de Sevigne told her daughter that if she wants to survive, “Don’t get pregnant and don’t catch smallpox.� (5) Disease was so rampant during the 18th century that even the rich and powerful could not avoid infection. One might think that the royalty of the 18th century would rarely catch such deadly diseases, but they did. Disease was a major influence on the aristocrac .....

.... down 7 times, but he rapidly improved over the years, he captured the 1934 National AAU Lightweight Crown and turned to the professional level later in that same year. Louis won his first 27 fights, 23 of them by knockout, beating people of fame like Primo Carnera and Max Baer. His first defeat was against Max Scheming at Yankee Stadium, he was knocked out in the 12th round. This was Louis greatest defeat, and the start of his greatest challenge. The next few years would be the greatest of times for the " Brown Bomber ", he got his much anticipated rematch with Max Scheming. The thing about Max Scheming was that he was German, so therefo .....

.... the war, stand up for his belief of total war with the statement "war is hell" (Boys Life 366). William T. Sherman lived through many circumstances in life which, at first appearing to be negative, greatly aided him in becoming the second greatest Union general. Sherman was born into a large family in Lancaster, Ohio on February 8, 1820 (McPhersonxxx 731). His family had had a long history of political positions, although Sherman was always strong in his dislike for the such. 1829 proved to be an impacting year in his life, when his father died leaving his mother responsible for their ten children (Sherman 1). Sherman was taken in as an .....

.... to become very "loose". The country was taking major strides in its development. It was said that "The 1960's was a decade where old values went up in smoke and new sounds symbolized a new state of mind (Time Video)." As the country changed so rapidly, there were both high and low spots in history. For example, the country came together and watched as Neil Armstrong landed an American space craft on the moon, and his words "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" still can bring chills to those who watched live as he took his first steps onto the lunar soil. However, the country also suffered several great losses, and had so .....

.... extensive deforestation and open dumping of nuclear waste. Tibet's most sacred lake, Yamdrok Tso, is currently being drained for a Chinese hydroelectric power plant. This problem has not been dealt with for nearly 60 years. The United Nations has failed to punish China for any of its human rights abuses. Major corporations from around the world continue to do business with China. Last year, despite continuing pressure, the United States renewed China's Most Favored Nation trading status. Unfortunately, since China represents such a potentially gigantic market, politicians are reluctant to impose any trade sanctions. The Chinese gove .....

.... to the caught between white settlers pushing westward and resistance from other tribes to the east. Everett gives several examples of Europeans pushing the westward. In 1817, the Western signed a treaty giving up land rights in the east to Europeans in exchange for permanent reserve in northern Arkansas. (Everett 14) She also demonstrates the resistance received from western tribes. “Warfare with Comanches would replace warfare with Osages.” (Everett 25) Both statements are examples of how the Texas were literally “caught between two fires” and was very effective. Another aspect of the thesis relates t .....

.... These laws also forced segregation between Jews and the rest of the public. It was only a dim indication of what the future held for European Jews. Anti-Jewish aggression continued for years after the passing of the Nuremberg Laws. One of these was the "Aryanization" of Jewish property and business. Jews were progressively forced out of the economy of Germany, their assets turned over to the government and the German public. Other forms of degradation were pogroms, or organized demonstrations against Jews. The first, and most infamous, of these pogroms was Krystallnacht, or "The night of broken glass". This pogrom was prompted by the .....
