According to the paper, this conflict originated with an assassination in April of 1975 which resulted in the country being ravaged by war for well over a decade. This paper further argues that the root cause of the Lebanese civil war was religious strife, and that this root cause continued to be the clearest discernible factor throughout the Lebanese civil war.

From the Paper
"The Lebanese civil war was a bloody, protracted struggle between opposing factions in Lebanon. It originated with an assassination in April of 1975, and would cause the country to be ravaged by war for well over a decade. In this essay it is argued that the root cause of the Lebanese civil war was religious strife, and that this root cause continued to be the clearest discernible factor throughout the Lebanese civil war. Lebanon was divided into Muslim and Christian Lebanese, as well as some Palestinians (all of whom were Muslim). Many of the last mentioned lived in refugee camps and were suspected of belonging to the Palestinian..."

Abstract
This paper explains that a main factor leading to the Civil War was the divergent economic development and concerns between the north and south. The paper further explains that there were many economic factors which contributed to the Civil War, but three, manufacturing versus farming, slavery and the need for labor in the south and cash crops were paramount. The paper then attempts to examine these factors and how they contributed to the environment leading to the Civil War.

Abstract
This paper addresses the issues which lead up the England's Civil War in the 17th century. It discusses the results of the civil war, and how it lead to the 'Glorious Revolution.' It then looks at the affects of this revolution on England as well as other parts of western civilization--Scotland, Ireland and France. It spans most of the 17th century.

From the Paper
"In the early 17th century, a series of conflicts regarding religion and politics set off a civil war, or a sequence of civil wars, in England that also had a great affect on Scotland, Ireland and France. These conflicts lead to the English questioning both the power and the religion of their monarchs, which in turn lead to the Glorious Revolution, strengthening England's position as a world power. In 1625, after the death of his father, Charles I became the king of England. One of the first hints of religious difficulties ahead is portrayed through his marriage to the Catholic Henrietta Maria, in a period of time where the religion of choice was Puritanism. This, as well as his involvement in European wars, caused the English Parliament to be suspicious of Charles I."

Abstract
The paper begins with a discussion of the unpreparedness of the North at the outbreak of the Civil War, the North had an army of less than 16,000, no general staff, no war plans, no adequate maps. The paper discusses, however, how it did have Abraham Lincoln, who developed a brilliantly successful strategy, and gradually found the generals who could take the war to the South and destroy its armies.

From the Paper
"One of the remarkable things about the Civil War was the lack of strategy with which it began. In 1861, with the southern states in secession and war looming, President Abraham Lincoln came into office to find a woefully understaffed and inadequate Army and a Navy so small and poorly ordered that it clearly could not address the crisis which the nation faced. The Army, which would be reduced substantially as southerners left, numbered barely 16,000 men, and had no general staff to develop strategic plans or even to envision strategy. Although it was soon apparent where a good deal of the fighting would take place, the Army plunged into..."

From the Paper
"The Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, was one of the most dramatic and bloody events in American history. The event has generated a huge quantity of research and scholarship, yet there is still no consensus as to its causes. As has been summarized, historians are still debating a number of theories: Was the war a factor of economic forces, or the result of a generation of politicians who had forgotten how to compromise? Was it, perhaps, the result of social forces, expansion, or any one of dozens of constitutional issues? Was Southern secession engineered by wealthy slaveholders and..."

Abstract
This paper begins with a discussion of the increase in transportation during and immediately after the Civil War. The author then explains what societal changes developed from the transportation changes. The author then explores other changes that occurred in that period, including immigration issues, urbanization, and the industrial revolution.

From the Paper
"One of the most significant ways in which the western world changed during and after the Civil War is associated with transportation. "In 1800, the only way to travel on land was on your own two legs, or to use an animal. By 1900 steam trains were carrying millions of people at what seemed to be fantastic speeds. At sea, in 1800, ships were propelled by wind; if the wind stopped, the ship stopped... By 1900, iron and steel ships steamed the oceans, regardless of whether the wind blew or not." (Chamberlin, 6) Primarily, these changes were brought about by advancements in the refining of steel, and the invention of the steam engine. The consequences for travel and commerce in the United States and Europe were innumerable. Additionally, the social makeup of the land was drastically changed by these forces. In the United States, for example, when the Union Pacific Railroads traversed the thousands of miles of American soil; often, if the railways failed to pass through an existing town, the people moved away; in fact, new towns and cities were often formed by virtue of where the railroads converged. This began another large trend that would continue to this day: the urbanization of the developed world."

Abstract
This paper shows how the study of the economics surrounding slavery can give a better understanding of the issues surrounding both slavery and the Civil War. Topics covered include the origins of slavery, opposing views on slavery, the and the economic effectiveness of slavery.

From the Paper
"Slavery and the civil war are very complex economic and historical issues. Many prominent Economic Historians view the institution of slavery vastly different from one another. With the difference in views also comes opposing opinions on whether or not the Civil War was actually needed to end the practice of slavery. While it is impossible to truly know what would have happened had events been different surrounding the American Civil War, it is possible to learn about the differences in opinions. Examining the origins of slavery, the opposing views of slavery, and the economics of the civil war can lend a clearer picture of this time frame"
