worst. The poetry of W.H Auden, in which Auden’s famous 1937 poem ‘Spain’ explores the impacts of political acts on the individual lives of society condemning its oppressive nature, whilst Auden’s ‘Shield of Achilles’ written in 1952 targets the harsh reality of political authority as it is, by nature a tyrannical force. Similarly does George Orwell’s 1945 political fable ‘animal farm’ approach these ideas, drawing heavily from the 1930’s ‘Stalinism’. All these texts appropriately reveal the worst in

States needed to enter open war with Spain, it would be nearsighted to say that this was America’s first attempt at “helping” our Cuban neighbors. The Ostend Manifesto is a prime example of an attempt at bringing Cuba into our fold. Southerners in the 1850’s would have been elated if Cuba were to join our ranks, for the island plantations would undoubtedly bolster the pro-slavery cause. However, the 1890’s brought about different motives for the conflict with Spain, and they were more than just one

The Basque region is in the northern part of Spain and Southern France. The Basque language is completely different from any other language. Neither the language nor physical characteristics of the people are comparable to any other culture, and not similar to French or Spanish.

In 1492 when the Catholic monarchies led the conquest of Spain, they found that the Basque had a completely

Since 2011, some 4.1 million refugees have fled from Syria in an attempt to find asylum in Europe. The NPR article written by Greg Myre, “The Migrant Crisis,” estimates that the total amount of Syrians who have been displaced is as high as 7.6 million. This has placed enormous pressure of European countries to take in refugees, though many of these, especially the Eastern European bloc countries of Hungary, Croatia, and Serbia, refuse to let the flood of migrants into their country. This has left

purchased, along with many other Tecora survivors, by the owners of La Amistad. Once aboard La Amistad, Cinqué was able to free himself of his shackles, and began the slaves' rebellion for freedom. The courtroom drama continues as District Attorney William S. Holabird (Pete Postlethwaite) and Secretary of State John Forsyth (David Paymer) press their case for property rights and dismiss Cinqué's story as a mere piece of fiction. While exploring the impounded vessel La Amistad for much-needed evidence to

While the northern Untied States was a popular destination for many runaways, it was not the only one. Until the early 1820’s when Spain ceded Florida to the United States, many slaves would take the southern passage to the sunshine state. With the Spanish occupation force primarily focused on developing military outpost, there was a need for military troops. In exchange for freedom

Two interesting short stories, "Hills like White Elephants" and "The Yellow Wallpaper" focus on a woman's plight near the turn of the nineteenth century. Both authors, Hemmingway and Gilman, leave an open end to the stories and allow readers to create

much about the social plight of women at that time, and the need for further progress in the movement for equal rights. While its existence did not trigger significant changes for the Women's Movement, this pavilion was certainly a promising first step that would set a precedent for women's involvement in later years. All aspects of women's involvement in the Chicago fair were overseen by the Board of Lady Managers. This governing body, the first of its kind, had authority over

The government of Greece set a series of plans for this problem and finally choose one of cutting the deficit. But the Bond markets doubt about the plan, therefore, Fitch and S&P, cut Greece’ grade from A- to BBB+. That scenario was realised in 2010and 2011. The most despairing case, Greece,was granted two bailout packages: €110 billion and then another €109 billion, the latter accompanied by a further €50 billion in
