World History: Prince Rupert Of The Rhine

Saint-Simon was born in 1760 to a fallen aristocratic family claiming descent from Charlemagne. Throughout his life, he aimed to do “great things” and make his mark on history. Heilbroner writes of his “eccentric” character and of how the idea of being a “chosen vessel of history” was instilled upon him from a young age.

The ability to inspire people to feel pride towards one’s country, can hinder the ability for people to realize what is morally right and wrong. Heinrich von Treitschke, a German historian, argued that Germans should view nationalism as the ideology to live by. Whether it involved having to fight in wars or allowing the monarchy to obtain the majority of the power, Germans had to do what is right for the country. Treitschke argued that if Germany was going to thrive among other countries, the people of Germany had to accept the fact that not all races are created equal. These ideologies proved to have a significant impact in the twentieth century due to the fact that Hitler used the same ideologies in the nineteen thirties. This eventually lead to genocide as many people were unaware of the negative consequences of nationalism. The ideas of one person can be devastating, as it can lead to a misconception on how to properly run a country.

Raoul Wallenberg showed that he had potential to do great things in the world even before helping save Jews. He was born in Sweden into one of the most powerful and intelligent families. He was top of his class in many subjects. In college, he won a university award medal that

Many great people and many great things shape history to what it is today. An example would be Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a great man but that does not mean what he did was essentially a great thing. Hitler helped in shaping the world’s history by causing World War 2. He was trying to shape the future as well because he wanted Germans to be the superior race. However there are good people who did good things to shape history. One specific person that comes to mind is Lester Bowles Pearson. He did not shape the world’s history but he did shape Canada’s history; he made Canada to what it is today, he introduced Universal Medicare to all Canadians, and he created the United Nations peacekeeping force.

Sypeck wrote about how Charlemagne had to overcome so many obstacles and he is still considered one of the great rulers of the olden days. Another great feat of Charlemagne was keeping the Byzantine Empire from taking over his vast empire. He also wrote about how Charlemagne was a very good military strategist, and a very convincing diplomatic leader.

Ernst Junger established much more than significance for the war as a whole, but somewhat found meaning for his complete existence in his book, Storm of Steel and that alone is reason enough for those in Nazi Germany to embrace him as one of their own.

Kaiser Wilhelm II was the last German Emperor and King of Prussia. A man that would come to be ridiculed and blamed for things perhaps out of his control, he was nonetheless one of the more prominent figures during the events of World War I. He showed very open enjoyment at his title, which would be used against him. Naturally, due to the ramifications of World War I, he was banned, and sought refuge in the Netherlands. His early life is an interesting affair, but his political career is clearly the focus of his life, not that you’d gloss over the story of his exile.

Elie Wiesel experienced an unfortunate experience that changed his life, and he used it to change the lives of others. He brutally went through the holocaust, and his life was never the same. He went through so much at a young age, and lived to tell the tale.

Baron Von Steuben was an important person in the Revolutionary War because he helped the colonists in the war from day in and day out. His life was harder those days then these days. Now his early life, adult life and contribution to the Revolutionary War is an important part in his history.

Charlemagne was a great leader in the Middle Ages and was the founder of the Carolingian Empire. The largest empire in Europe since the Roman Empire. He kept the society in order by enforcing laws and he also encouraged education. He helped define and shape medieval Europe and was a uniting force after the Roman Empire had fallen.

Throughout time, people learned about history from books, websites, articles, and magazines to gain their understandings of History. Leon Trotsky played an important role in the Russian Revolution and so did the character of Snowball from the novel Animal Farm. Their life actions had a positive affect towards history even though their goals were never accomplished.

There are many people in history who have made a very big impact on their

Google famous people and you would get a number of web addresses listing names of musicians, politicians, scientists, writers, painters, etc. Usually, these personalities' fame would have been the result of one particular skill. However, every so often, we may come across certain people who are only famous to those who've had the opportunity to know about them due to this or that circumstance. Norman Cousins and Albert Schweitzer are two such famous people, the first of the twentieth century, the second of late nineteenth century. Their achievements are important because their blend of skills enabled information to turn into collective awareness in different domains such as medicine, world peace, and active citizenship.
