Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days has proven to be a literature classic over the years. This adventure novel tells the story of a man who, on a bet, decides to travel around the world in under 80 days. Unbeknownst to him, he is suspected to be the perpetrator of a robbery at a local bank and is closely followed by a detective.

Although there were improvements during his reign in transportation, culture, and national defense, there were far more negative aspects.

The Power Struggle: An Attempt at Authoritative Assertion Through the 1400s, the Holy Roman Empire continued a six-century-long tradition of exercising its papal institutional powers and political powers over the European cultural arena that it had predominated. The intersection of wealth, power, and Church became so ostentatious, however, that some began to question the legitimacy of an institution that took to selling admission into heaven and to pricing salvation .

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen was the product of an oppressed people who were tired of living under a government in which they had no voice.

In contrast to the “journey” of Akbar, Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes, had the nobles stay at the Palace of Versailles with no real power, reduced the power of the medieval guilds, and forced the country into excessive wars. Unlike Akbar the Great, Louis XIV did everything except rule to benefit the people, and he

Life Story Entries I was born December 16, 1998 in San Diego California. I was the third boy born, and the last child my parents would have. Although I got the special treatment that the youngest child always gets, there were some negatives to being the youngest. First of all, there is hardly any pictures of me.
