From the Paper
"The Union and Confederate forces fought the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, outside the small town of Sharpsburg, Maryland. (The Confederates refer to this battle as the Battle of Sharpsburg.) It was the most ferocious and deadly battle of the war, and in American history - over 23,000 casualties, wounded, and missing resulted from this one bloody battle. It was also the first battle fought on Northern soil, making it quite memorable for yet another reason. "

"This paper will discuss the events of November 21, 1920, in Dublin, Ireland, popularly known as "Bloody Sunday." The first part of the paper will describe what happened on that day: the assassination of British officers by the Irish Republican Army and the reprisal of the Black and Tans that afternoon. The second part of the paper will examine the political background to the events and the general political goals of the IRA in carrying out the attacks. The third part of the paper will discuss the strategic implications of the attack, including whether the attack accomplished both its tactical and strategic goals.

On November 17, 1920, Dick McKee, a commandant of the Dublin Brigade of the Volunteers (or Irish Republican Army), and his second-in-command, Peadar Clancy, were ordered by Michael Collins to prepare an ... "

Abstract
This paper explains that, while blood and gore are certainly enough to catch the eye, what makes Yoshitoshi one of the greatest artists of his age is his flexibility and ability to communicate feelings in his art. The author points out that Ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world") come in four major types; beautiful women, warriors, actors, and nature scenes: Yoshitoshi focused almost exclusively on the first two. The paper relates that, in a mere 40 years, Japan managed to bridge the technological gap with the western world and gain a place as a world power, but Yoshitoshi and his artistic peers became domestic casualties, unable to learn a living.

From the Paper
"Yoshitoshi lived from 1839 to 1892, during a turbulent transition between traditional and modern Japan. During this time, some of the more gruesome works that he produced include: "One Hundred Ghost Stories of Japan and China", "Twenty-eight Infamous Murders with Accompanying Verses" and "One Hundred Selections of Warriors in Battle". These works are what first made him successful as an artist. These ukiyo-e scenes range from women killing men and men killing women to horrific monsters and various mutilations of the human body."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the death of Louis XV on May 10, 1774 can be seen as the first falling domino that affected two bloody revolutions and a world war. If France's leader had not suddenly contracted smallpox, which led to the ascent and mistakes of his grandson Louis XVI, the French and American Revolutions (as well as the Napoleonic wars) might not have developed.

From the Paper
"Many historians claim that the antagonistic structure of French society was at the root of the French Revolution. A common argument is that the corporatist orders pitted the clergy and noblemen against the monarchy and the bourgeoisie and lower classes against everyone. Tocqueville argues that one of the reasons the revolution was unsuccessful is because it failed to resolve this cause. However, this paper will discuss how the death of Louis XV on May 10, 1774 can be seen as the first falling domino that affected two..."

Abstract
The paper discusses the use of dream as a visual device in David Lynch's film "Eraserhead" and Nina Menkes' film "The Bloody Child". The paper analyzes Lynch's use of the dreamscape as a means to facilitate symbolic substitution and Menkes' use of the dream concept as a means of actual narrative.

From the Paper
"Dream and cinema seem to go together. Film has long been considered a type of fantastic representation of what people experience, to one degree or another, when they sleep. Film seems to have the ability to bring dreams to life or to reduce life to the palatable state of a dream. In this light, dream must be understood to be an alternate form of reality; if not physical then certainly conceptual. To better grasp the psychological importance and the subjective realities that dreams, through film, can and do represent, one need look no further than the Native American religions where dreaming is seen as, "a source of personal empowerment"(Irwin, 1994, p.231). Viewed in this light, the utilization of dreams in American cinema and especially in the films of David Lynch and the lesser known Nina Menkes, must be examined from a much more rational and empirical perspective."

Abstract
The paper relates that this is an outstanding novel which seems to accurately portray the experiences of an infantry soldier in the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), in France in the First World War (1914-1918). According to the paper, it portrays the horror of trench warfare with gut-wrenching clarity, and as such, it takes its place among many other great war classics, such as "All Quiet on the Western Front" and " A Farewell to Arms", exposing the true horror of war and the hollowness of ideas about the honour and glory of war.

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the book "They Marched Into Sunlight, War and Peace Vietnam and America October 1967" by David Maraniss. The paper notes that the book centers on two events that happened a day apart in locations half way around the world from each other. These were the Battle of Ong Thanh on October 17, 1967, in Vietnam, and a protest at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on October 18, 1967. The paper stresses that the main highlight of the book is that America was undergoing drastic changes at this time, and both of these incidents illustrate the change and revolution going on inside and outside America in 1967.

From the Paper
"The author is clearly qualified to write this book. He is a journalist for the Washington Post newspaper, and he has written several biographies and histories before this one. His writing style is readable and interesting, and it makes all the participants sympathetic, even if they are Vietcong fighters on their way to ambush American soldiers, as well. For example, he writes of Triet, the Vietcong fighter, "Lunch was a small portion of pressed rice, if available and for energy in the early afternoon Triet reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny piece of the hundred grams of ginseng that he had bought in a traditional medicine shop in Hanoi".

From the Paper
" On a Sunday in January of 1972, an angry but peaceful civil.rights march in Northern Ireland was shattered by gunfire from British paratroopers who had been brought in to act as peacekeepers in the civil strife between Northern Irish Protestants and Catholics. When the shooting was over, 13 unarmed civilian marchers lay dead. In the aftermath, the Troubles in Northern Ireland took a new and more violent turn, and peace has not yet returned to the province.

The following essay is a study of the relationship of violence and political leverage. Bloody Sunday, as the shootings in January of 1972 came to be called, was not itself an act designed for leverage. For the British Army, which had done the shooting, it was indeed a severe political setback. But it took place within..and to a degree was made inevitable.."

"The purpose of this paper is to explain how key events at the time of the Russian Revolution of 1905 contributed to the Russian Revolution of 1917. In particular, the events to be considered will be the 1905 Revolution itself, the Russo-Japanese War, Bloody Sunday, and the October manifesto. All of these events played a vital part in creating a feeling of need for political change in Russia. Although the October Manifesto established a situation in which the revolutionary events of 1905 were at last brought to an end, the problems that had led to that revolt were not fully addressed at that time. It was for that reason that the same motivations resurfaced in Russia 12 years later with the Revolution of 1917. As Leon Trotsky once wrote, the events that made up the 1905 Revolution served as a "dress rehearsal" for the events of the 1917 Revolution (Salisbury 175)."
