David Livingstone Research Paper

During the elections, Queen Emma faced much criticism in the islands for her gender, background, and character. In a letter written by Curtis Jere Lyons, he says on the native bulletin, the words “We do not wish to see the petticoat putting on breeches (or inside of the breeches)” were written above the Queen’s proclamation . By referring to clothes and dress, these words were attacking Queen Emma’s gender. Whoever wrote it did not want to see a woman as ruling monarch. In addition, an article published in The Chicago Tribune in 1874 speaking about the elections states, “The popularity… is purely personal, as she has no hereditary rank and little force of character”. Claiming that Queen Emma’s popularity in the elections was “purely personal” erases

William Marley followed his father into medicine, but never achieved the same success. By 1884 he toiled far from the culture and learning of London in a remote corner of the Empire. He had little time to ponder social welfare or literary interests. At fifty years of age, guilt and worry clouded his days. In Stanthorpe, where he first lived in Queensland, and then here in Port Douglas, he and his wife had led active social lives. That lifestyle cost money. Now ill, and convinced he would

There were no roads, no countries, no landmarks. Livingstone helped redraw the maps, exploring what are now a dozen countries, including South Africa, Rwanda, Angola, and the Republic of the Congo. He also made the West aware of the continuing evil of African slavery, which led to it eventually being outlawed. Although Livingstone is known as "Africa's greatest missionary," he is recorded as having converted only one African. His name was Sechele and is known as the chief of the Kwena people of Botswana. Some of his other discoveries include numerous geographical features for Western science, such as Lake Ngami, Lake Malawi, and Lake Bangweulu. He also filled in details of Lake Tanganyika, Lake Mweru, and many rivers, mostly the upper Zambezi. His observations enabled large regions to be mapped which previously had been blank. Livingstone was also awarded the gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society of London. He had a strong association for the rest of his life. He opened up Central Africa to missionaries who initiated the education and healthcare for Africans, and trade by the African Lakes

William Kamkwamba was an ordinary kid until a famine struck his village. His family sold crops but since they don't have any crops to sell they didn't make any money. William was kicked out of school because he didn't pay. One day when William visited the library he saw a picture of a windmill and was dedicated to make it. Surprisingly he made a windmill out of junkyard scraps. It was able to power a few lightbulbs and a radio. What William did was extraordinary, but I have a question. If William was a girl would she still have made the windmill? Well, I don't think that she would of made the windmill because, women in Malawi mostly do housework not much work in the fields, also some Malawian fathers want their daughters to get married.

Churchill was born into an aristocratic family on November 30, 1874. Winston, as his life unfolded, displayed the traits of his father, Lord Randolph Churchill who was a British statesman from an established English family. Winston's mother, Jeanette Jerome, was an independent-minded New York socialite. Dublin Ireland is where Winston grew up while his father was employed by his grandfather, the 7th Duke of Marlborough, John Spencer Churchill. Upon entering formal school Churchill showed himself to be independent and rather a rebellious student. Doing poorly at his first two schools, in April 1888 he was sent to Harrow School which was a boarding school near London. Within just a few weeks of his enrollment, Winston joined the Harrow Rifle Corps, which put him on his destined path to a military career.

Leo Africanus has been known with many names. He was born in in a Muslim family of Granada as Al-Hassan b. Muhammad Al-Wazzan Al-Zayyati before they moved to Fez in the rising of Christian Reconquista . It is claimed that hostile Spanish policy towards Muslim population in Granada drive the family to Africa and they settled in Fez of the western Maghrib. At the age of 17, he accompanied his uncle on a diplomatic mission to Timbuktu in the name of Wattasid Sultan of Fez . In 1518, a dramatic event happened where he was captured by Sicilian corsairs and subsequently presented to Pope Leo X on his return from a visit to Egypt (possibly also Istanbul), and a pilgrimage to Mecca. Within a year, he then got baptized by the Pope and his name changed

Instead of English and Spanish being the universal global languages spoken by so many, German may have been the required language and Nazi policies may have been the required political views. All of that could have happened if the Allied powers didn’t manage to halt Nazi Germany and Axis powers assault on the world. When all was lost for the Allied powers, an unlikely hero stepped up to end Nazi rule. Winston Churchill, a veteran of war and a conservative politician, succeeded Neville Chamberlain when the going got too tough for him. With the impending Battle of Britain, Nazi Germany’s last battle until world domination, Churchill had to use his charisma, his previous wartime experiences and wartime knowledge, and his plan to form a “Great

Jesus Christ and his kingdom as the good news of salvation. For Matthew, Jesus is not the son of David, but he is the son of Abraham.

Livingstone, I presume?” David Livingstone died in 1873 from Malaria while looking for the source of the Nile River, but his many contributions to the mapping of Africa, his clues about tropical diseases and their probable cures, his creation of commercial and humanitarian interest in Africa, and his effort to abolish the slave trade created a massive legacy for the man that grew up poor and pious in industrialized

Although having found many lakes and rivers while in Africa, traveling from Africa to India in a river steamboat, and achieving several awards and medals from the London geographical society, David Livingston had a very different purpose for his work. David Livingston was giving his whole life to missionary work in Africa not only to help stop the slave trade, but to teach the natives about Christ. He was extremely diligent in his work, and would never stop until his goal was met. He was a man of his word with great courage and most importantly, a steadfast faith in God. David showed a Christ-like character and had a hard working spirit.

The Republic of Kenya gained its full independence from British rule and the Sultan of Zanzibar in December, 1963. Jomo Kenyatta leader of the Kenyan African Union (KAU), widely protested against the British rule and was arrested and his party banned in 1953 after a secret guerrilla group named Mau Mau resorted to violence to overthrow the Britishers. Thousands of people, mostly Africans were killed in the violence that ensued between the locals and the British. Kenyatta was charged with organizing and managing these protest and was put under house arrest in 1959. He was subsequently released in 1961 and went on to become the first president of independent Kenya in 1964.

The Apostle Paul (formerly Saul) is responsible for the spread of Christianity throughout the areas of Asia Minor and Greece. Through his 3 mission trips to the region Paul created a base of support for the Christian faith and implemented a support strategy for future growth. The time period for his journeys was 45 AD – 58 AD. The story of Paul is interesting from the perspective that the man best known as the author of most of the New Testament started out as a devout Jew and despised the Christian faith. After his conversion he made it his life’s work to spread the Christian message throughout the world. To this end, Paul made several mission trips to the area of Asia Minor and Greece.

At the age of 16 Mandela traveled to Tyhalarhan for his circumcision that marked him as a man (BIO). This was a tradition
