9/20/10 American Revolution!

The reanactment of the childrens on the American Revolution pretty much summarizes the whole thing. Very entertaining and funny to watch and certainly drags the person who's watching it. Personally the American Revolution was a revolt against a powerful country. Takes a lot of gut to fight against the country of where you came from which has much more power than you. The chance of winning was slim at the beginning with the debts piling up. Great Britain had a powerful and stable economy to fight the war while the a'mericans have an unstable one.

French Revolution and how it began!

The French Revolution began with the unfair distribution of wealth. The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. Revolutionist began lurking in France and plotted the revolution in a long period of time. When the time was right, they would revolt and kill all the rich. In 1789, the door to the French Revolution was the Fall Of The Bastille. Peasants finally lost it and stormed the bastille. Showing the king that his power is no longer absolute in France. 9/21/10 5 topics for History national day -The Great Wall of China - Presidents of United States, best president, worse president. - Wars, any wars are interesting wars - The black plague, diseases - Slavery 3 Topics I choose!! -Alaxander the great -Ghengkis kan -Black plaque <span style="color: #000080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Debate and Diplomacy in History: Success, Failures, Consequences CCQ <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- There are certainly tons of topics for this theme and I think the cuban missle crisis might be a good topic to focus on but not sure yet to what to decide. <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Theres actually a lot to think about a topic since it includes debate or diplomacy, was it a success? failure? and the most important part of the project is the consequences.

The Cuban and the Soviet Union aimed to build median range missiles in Cuba to strike most of the United States. The Soviet Union of course denies all claims until the United States sent a spy plane and captured pictures of proof that missiles were being constructed in Cuba. This is considered the closest point in the Cold War where it came to a nuclear war. The United States demanded they stop the constructions and bring the missiles back to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union unexpectedly agreed only if The United States agreed to never invade Cuba to which they agreed. <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Balance of Power <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- United States had more missiles contructed <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Both sides took ease to prevent a nuclear war <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Technology race <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Strategies to win <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Kennedy's aggressive tactics, brink war <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">- Very successful

<span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The 3 estates system is that the first estate is king and the nobles. The 2nd estates is the lords and knights. The 3rd estates is the peasants and the poors. Each estate gets one vote in say but estate 1 and 2 are always countering estate 3 so estate 3 has no say in government. <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">3% [-1st Estate - priests/ (bishops) power / nuns / monks] <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">[-2nd Estate - nobles is not neccessary rich(born in it)(money comes from the taxes of 3rd Estate)] <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">97% [-3rd Estate not poor] <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">-business owners <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">-merchants <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">-poor people starving <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The French Revolution began when the oppurtunist saw the oppurtunity to gain power cause the poor people were starving and want revenge. Violence started and the French Revolution began with the 1st and 2nd estate being killed. The 1st and 2nd estate were overwhelmingly out numbered! <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"><span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Which was Good? Which was Bad? Good or bad. HW! <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">If it was before the Revolution, the 1st and 2nd estate were the bad guys and the 3rd estate were the good guys. The 1st and 2nd estate were just being unfair to the 3rd estate and controlling them to which they can't gain power over them. The government was no equal in terms of population and votes. The 3rd estate was the one always being bullied. When the revolution begins, the 3rd estate was still the good guys and trying to fight for his rights. Fighting for their rights is perfectly right. After the 1st and 2nd estate surrenders THENNNN it switches and the 3rd estate is the bad guys because they are just randomly killing anyone that's rich. In the end, both are at faults. <span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">9/23/10

More accurate one!! <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;"> <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">This second wordle is definately much more accurate as the date of the event has occured. The crowd of people was actually an angry mod storming the bastille. The bastille was a prison and a fortress for defense. Many troops/gaurds left the bastille in fear of rumor of an attack. Fear is struck into the rich people now!!! FEARRRR! Marquis had no choice but to surrender and beheaded!
