The Pakistani government was involved in an attack on Mumbai that killed over one hundred and fifty people. The captured militants who executed the attack were never brought to proper justice, an incarcerated terrorist confessed that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency aided the attack, and the Pakistani government freed the militant group’s commander for no plausible reason. Pakistan has denied all accusations of its’ involvement but evidence shows that they played a key role in this devastating siege. A Pakistani based terrorist group called the Lashkar-e-Taiba executed a series of bombings and shootings in Mumbai over the course of three days. Mohammed Kasab, one of the ten gunman in the attack, was the only attacker to survive …show more content…
However, his internet history also displayed his love for internet porn so it’s safe to assume he was not a very religious man. Religion had little to no part in this event because the true cause was political. According to the Pakistan’s Tehrik-e-Taleban, “India staged the attacks in order to defame Pakistan.” This preposterous statement was, for the most part, dismissed due to the lack of evidence. The more plausible cause for the attacks was Pakistan's hostility towards India over Kashmir and fear of militant groups targeting Pakistan. Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency provided funding and aid in the overall orchestration of the attack. This accusation is strengthened by David Coleman Headley, a Pakistani-American who pleaded guilty for his participation in plotting the attack. During his interrogation, he said that he was in contact with the Inter-Services Intelligence who orchestrated the attack. He even gave the names of four ISI members. The ISI told him that militants were beginning “point their guns” at Pakistan and that the Mumbai attacks would make India seem more vulnerable thus making said militants turn their attention away from Pakistan and onto India. David said, "The ISI, I believe, had no ambiguity about the necessity to strike
Americans in the early nineteenth century had been, or atleast seemed to be very desent at solving their political problems with compromise. Compromise had been less and less effective at settling these politcal disputes the closer to 1900 it became. It seemed to be revativly impossible by 1860. This impossibity arouse from the North and the South adpoting impervious opinions about politics and slavery that heavily opposed each other. Senator Henry Clay, the "Father of Compromise" clearly stated and believed that it was "utterly impractical" that South Carolina ever wated to suceceed from the United States(Document A).
What makes a person’s spirit triumph ? Love,Laughter, and Nature are all what make a person’s spirit triumph.
In the post-Civil War United States, corporations grew significantly in number, size and influence. During this time period, big business impacted the economy politically, economically and the way Americans responded changed over time. As business started to grow, some companies monopolized other companies while some companies also started to lose their business. Furthermore, people started to have more leisure time and business played a role in providing entertainment for its people. These changes over the past thirty years were molded by the actions and development of big business.
The revolutionary war was a fight for independence and created America but some people think the revolutionary war was not so revolutionary. I believe the revolutionary war was not revolutionary. In document four, the data showed that there were less wealthy and less well to do in the northern states and in the middle states there were less wealthy between 1765 and 1785. This shows that America’s economics and sustainability were lowered and not as good as it used to be. In document 6, in 1819 a African American valedictorian gave a speech about how no one will employ him, white boys won’t work with him, and white clerks won’t associate with him. He said, “Can you be surprised by my discouragement.” Which shows colored people still have not
Secondly, his inspiration caused everyone to get up off their chairs and fight and people who thought it was the end to believe and know that they will win. They were all about victory, victory alone, even if odds were against, they just believed in victory and never thought about losing or even giving up on the hardest of situations possible. Inspiration would allow you to see things you may have never seen not only physically, but also mentally, such as a sense of purpose, dreams, goals, doing the impossible or the impossible for you. That is what some things that Winston Churchill would try to make you to believe or convince you for some of these types of reasoning. In Source A, page 265, paragraph 4, lines 15-19 it states that “I take up my task in buoyancy and hope.
I believe that the Revolution was indeed revolutionary, because of the information that I gathered. The following is an essay composed to explain why I believe that the Revolution was revolutionary.
Barbarians simply meant foreigners. By the 1200 “barbarian” was a much more negative term referring to people who lived beyond the reach of civilization, people who were savage, evil. The Mongols were barbaric with the amount of land they conquered, laws, and punishments. The barbarians were barbaric in many different ways.
The terrorist responsible for this attack is Timothy McVeigh. Months before the bombing, McVeigh, along with his accomplice Terry Nichols, was believed to be involved in an “anti-government militia group” (Casey 3). McVeigh believed the government was devising a plan to deprive him and as well as the rest of his country of their rights as Americans to bear arms (Casey).
I believe that the Revolutionary War was not actually as revolutionary as the name suggests because, although some of the documents suggest that major change was brought about after the war, the majority of the documents made me come to the conclusion that there were not as many results of the war as widely expected. A prime example is Document 6, where an African American valedictorian questions the possibilities of him getting a job among white people. He is a well-educated young adult, but with no jobs available to him, he must enter servitude. Another reason supporting my claim is the fact that in Document 8 it took more than 140 years for women to have the same voting rights as men (made a law in the 19th Amendment). The definition of
The advancements in technology led to an easier everyday life. One example is the toaster. You don’t think about it much, pop in some bread, pop it out, done! Yet, back in the day you would have to hold bread over a fire a kitchen grill; therefore, making it so you can have toast wherever you have electricity. Another example would be cars. Imagine life without cars, having to walk everywhere, bike everywhere, or find some other way to get from point A to point B. It provided an easy and fast mode of transportation. With the Ford Model T and its amazingly low price made use of automobiles widely available; in fact, the amount of cars owned from 1900 to 1920 jumped
After the Second World War, the great European Empires started to lose their colonial territories all over the world. England was losing its colonies in India and in parts of Asia while France had lost their South East Asian colony of Indochina. This defeat was terrible for France and to further exasperate the problem for the nation, the new independence of Indochina persuaded other French colonies such as Tunisia and Morocco to also revolt against their colonial oppressor and gain independence. However the biggest loss to France was its loss of their colony in Algeria. Algeria had been a French colony for the past 100 years and over a million French settlers, known as pied noirs, were currently living inside the colony (Lowe).
The Americans became a friend of Pakistan because those days Russia was their main enemy. The crisis of war united some countries. In my opinion, the destinies of those mini-states were concerned with the war between two superpower. Poor and backward countries were all became victims of the conflict. Pakistan used war tactics to teach math at that time because they wanted their offspring to understand the cruelty of war and warned their future generations to become stronger. Because the change of position in the international energy supply chain, the civil strife in Iraq rise in oil prices allowed the United States gained a lot of advantages from it. The higher price made America more investment in oil development and corresponding employment,
In nearly every society, tales exist about people sacrificing their beliefs simply because that is what everyone else is doing, and they do not want to be left out. Humans, since the beginning of our time on Earth, have been heavily influenced by outside opinions, and I think human nature will continue this cycle until we no longer inhabit the Earth. Often times, it is easier (but not usually right) to “go with the flow” of what your peers are doing, rather than standing up for what is true. I believe this was illustrated in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. The girls accusing the townspeople of witchcraft gained attention, something they did not previously have, and banded together, creating a strong, yet deadly, force. Other explanations exist, but there is no way to know for sure what the cause of the hysteria present in Salem was.
In 1876,1877 and 1899, treaty 6,7 and 8 were signed between the Indians and Europeans. When the Indians signed these treaties, they were promised: education that the Europeans would provide, the right to pursue hunting, fishing and trapping, medicine and hospitality, be able to return to original territory, a sustainable amount of rations, and money for their agricultural success. However, the Europeans ended up using their power to take advantage over the Aboriginal People. Many challenges occurred for the Indians because of these treaties. The Europeans no longer allowed the Indians to hunt, fish or trap, but instead demanded them to farm. This was a big problem because the Indians did not know how to farm and the land that was given to them
This narrative is about the British forces attacking Washington D.C during the war of 1812 and how the Americans reacted towards the situations. The report starts off with the narrator arriving at Washington on a Sunday, the twenty-first of some month during 1814, and describes the mindset of the government officers and citizens as apprehensive or fearful. The fear came from the possible chance that the British may launch an attack. The British forces, ironically, landed on Patuxent with about 4,000 to 16,000 men according to reports the Americans had.
