During this time period, there were alterations in many civilizations. Some had multiple major fluctuations, while others did not change much but were long lasting. The Mongols, for instance, did similar (if not the same things) over and over again throughout their reign. What they did was successful and because of that, their empire was long lasting. Unlike the Mongols, Italy had much change during this period of time. Both of these things caused the two different societies to flourish and last. The Mongols had the greatest continuity over time, but Italy had the greatest change over time, ending in good results for both of the civilizations.

The Civil Rights Movement’s mission was to end segregation and advance equality for African Americans (Hanks, Herzog, and Goetzman). Almost one hundred years after the civil war, African Americans were still struggling to gain the same rights as white Americans. The movement was led by leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks. Gaining momentum in the 1950’s with the Supreme court’s ruling of Brown vs. Board of Education where public schools were desegregated, the Civil Rights movement flourished in the 1960’s. One of the group’s main goals was to take on the Jim Crow South. Segregation prevented African Americans from drinking out of the same water fountain, using the same restroom, and even sitting at the same lunch table as white people. By promoting peaceful protest, they were able to educate others on their issues.

After so many years of struggles and difficulty, supporters for equality celebrate the way of legislation that forbids racial discrimination. The civil rights act of 1964, ending segregation in public places and prohibit employment discrimination on the part of color, race, religion or origin, is considered one of the accomplishments of the civil rights movement. The leading up to the Civil Rights act was followed by the Civil war which occurred during the years 1861-1865. It was constitutional amendments abolished slavery, and made them slave citizens and gave all men the right to vote, no matter what race they were. The presentation within the civil rights act, was under the act, segregation faced race, religion or origin was banned at all

A staff writer at History.com wrote, “In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the “separate but equal” doctrine that formed the basis for state-sanctioned discrimination, drawing national and international attention to African Americans’ plight. They then passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1968. “ The civil rights movement exposed black lives too harsh cruelty, unreal racism, and the inability to support themselves during the great depression.

The civil rights movement was a struggle by African Americans in the mid-1950s to late 1960s to achieve civil rights equal to those of whites, including equal opportunity in employment, housing, and education, as well as the right to vote, the right of equal access to public facilities, and the right to be free of racial discrimination (Civil Rights Movement, www.encyclopedia.com). The most important achievements of African-American civil rights movements have been the post-Civil War constitutional amendments that abolished slavery and established the citizenship status of blacks and the judicial decisions and legislation based on these amendments, notably the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka decision of 1954, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (History.com staff,

Commencing in the late 19th century, state level governments approved segregation acts, identified as the Jim Crow laws, and assigned limitations on voting requirements that caused the African American population economically and diplomatically helpless (Davis, n.d.). The civil rights movement commenced, intensely and assertively, in the early 1940s when the societal composition of black America took an increasingly urban, popular appeal (Korstad & Lichtenstein, 1988). The 1950s and 1960s was well known for racial conflicts and civil rights protests. The civil rights movement in the United States during the late 1950s and 1960s was based on political and social strives to achieve

The post-war world was one of complete ruin. More than 40 million Europeans died and at least 25 million of them were civilians that had been killed in bomb raids, concentration camps, and during famine or starvation. Cities, towns, and villages on the home fronts were destroyed and nothing remained of many homes. Because of all of the distress, thousands of people all turned to their governments for assistance. Unfortunately for almost everyone in Europe and Japan, their governments had all failed. Thus, a lot of their problems were rightfully blamed on their governments. After all, Hitler and Mussolini had both run their countries and fascist parties into the ground. Due to the fact that no one could find solutions in their own country’s

The Post-WWII period. While the world reels from the war, Americans indulge in new technologies such as the TV, washing machine, and suburban housing. However, the tension between the USA and the USSR mounts. The nuclear arms race makes the world fear what might become of the world. causes widespread fear of the future. Even now, 70 years after WWII, humans still fear the atomic bomb and the many consequences of the bombs being detonated. Would past humans have ever thought that one day they would create their own means of destruction? In "Pity this busy monster, manunkind," E.E. Cummings mocks humans for having become destructors physically, socially, and spiritually because of their infatuation with advancing technology.

While Italy was first in triple alliance 1882 made up with Austria-Hungary and Germany, Italy had signed the secret Treaty of London. In this treaty Britain had offered Italy large sections of territory in the Adriatic Sea region – Tyrol, Dalmatia and Istria. Britain and France wanted Italy to join in on their side so that a new front could open up the south of the Western Front. As a result, Italy switched sides and started to fight against Central Powers. As the time transferred to WWII, Italy was criticized for their disappointing performance on every aspects of the war. Mussolini’s lack of leadership, key resources shortage, and lack of military force were the main causes. In my opinion, Italy entered World War II for economy

In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court brought the hammer down on the “ separate but equal” doctrine. IN the violent decade and half that came after activists used nonviolence protest, and disobedience to bring change.

World War II was the most devastating war in history and over 60 million people were killed from both the axis powers and the allied powers. (Butler) One of the main effects of World War II was the rise of two superpowers. These superpowers were the United States and the Soviet Union. Due to the rise of these superpowers, a tension was created between the two sides and caused the Cold War to begin in 1945. At end of the war, “the European economy had collapsed with 70% of the industrial infrastructure destroyed.” (Pilisuk) Western Germany took one of the hardest hits from the war with a lot of the cities and building destroyed. This did not help Europe’s economy at all but after a few years, they started to recover slowly and by the end of the 50’s the economical production was twice as much as before the war. Just like western Germany, Italy was in almost the exact same state but did eventually recover by the 50’s as well. (Bull). Lastly, some effects that are still being seen today are bombs being found all across Europe in various

Italy has not existed as a country for long--for a while, Italy was a politically divided combination of states. In 1799, Russia and Austria managed to expel France from Italy, but this only lasted until the Italian provinces and city-states were once again conquered by France and fell under the rule of Napoleon. Napoleon established the Kingdom of Italy, but with his downfall came the territorial provisions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Throughout these decades, the Italian states were greatly fragmented and Giuseppe Mazzini played a tremendous role in their unification. Mazzini believed that a common uprising would unite the Italian people--a philosophy which, for the most part, was successful. However, once many Italians
