The Hundred Year War was a war between the French and English in the 13th and 14th century. The war was a conflict over land, titles and rights between both the French and English. This involved several generations of French and English who have claimed a period of more than a hundred years(Hundred Years’ War, pars.1).

In 1915, the Battle of Ypres affected many Canadian soldiers during the First World War and many endured harsh environments. Using historical perspective allows one to understand and appreciate the sacrifice they made for their country. Men entered the army expecting a quick and exciting adventure, but were quickly shown the brutal truth. They were immediately thrown into the relentless environment that was filled with artillery, blood, and death and they would have to endure for the next five years. Trench warfare was brought up during this time where soldiers practically lived in mud and disease. There were rats and lice, diseases such as trench foot, and unbearable weather; every morning the troops would wake up in the unforgiving trenches
One cause of the war, as suggested by historians, was the previous relationships and tensions amongst countries, especially Serbia and Austro-Hungary.

The American Civil War, fought between 1860 and 1865 was one of the bloodiest conflicts in the history of warfare. At the end of the war, more than 600,000 soldiers were dead or wounded. The institution of slavery was ended and the United States was changed forever. Several causes have been suggested for the conflict, including the disagreement over the institution of slavery, economic differences between the north and south and a difference in how the Constitution was to be interpreted. Slavery, however, is the key issue that lies at the heart of the conflict.
Civil War can be also known as “War Between the States” that happened in the mid 19th century. The war was a result of decades simmering tensions and controversy between the North and South of United States over slavery, state’s right and moving West. The northern states leading by President Abraham Lincoln wanted to abolist slavery in the United States. On the other hand, the southern states fought against this policy. Over those decades before the war, there were many critical events that led to the Civil War. Though, in my opinions, the four most critical events that contributed to the outbreak out the war were The Missouri Compromise in 1820, Nat Turner’s Rebellion in 1831, the Dred Scott Decision
What were you doing when you were 15? Probably going to class every day, learning about the same old stuff.

Ivan Chetvyorty Vasilyevich was born on August 25 of 1530. His father was Basil the third and died when Ivan was three years old . His mother was Elena Glinskaya and died when Ivan was eight years old. Ivan was exposed to danger constantly at young ages. He was a very delicate and intelligent boy. His religion was orthodox. He was often neglected and at times hated by individuals of nobility that took care of him after the passing away of his parents; this cased hatred for the boyar class. He reportedly tortured small animals as a boy, yet still managed to develop a taste for literature and music (Ivan the Terrible). When Ivan was thirteen he ordered a noble man to be thrown to starving dogs.
The deadliest war in American history is known as the American Civil War killing nearly 620,000 soldiers and a mass amount of civilians. The War Between the States was fought between Southern slave states and the United States federal government.
