Abstract
This paper details the events of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and discusses what might have happened had it turned out differently. The writer explores the events and their impact, as well as the idea of it turning out differently, and how that would have impacted the war and the world.
From the Paper
"The Holocaust was arguably the most tragic event of the modern world. It was a time in which one man and his regime wreaked immeasurable pain on millions of individuals and their loved ones. It was a time when entire populations turned to a regime willing to commit mayhem and murder rather than find their way out with a different solution. It was a lesson that will never be forgotten, however, among the anger, emotions and tragedy there is proof of the strength of human hearts and motivation. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is an example of just how strong the human spirit is and its existence provides the world with the knowledge that man will not be defeated regardless of the powers that may try and do so."

Abstract
In depth analysis of Proposition 34, which attempts to limit and disclose on campaign spending and contributions including. The author discusses how it was brought into the election, how long and why people have been fighting for it, as well as the pros and cons of the California proposition. Includes excellent examples with supportive quotes.
From the Paper
"This year?s election includes the controversial issue of Proposition 34, limits and disclosures on campaign spending and contributions. Currently, there is no limit on campaign contributions and spending in California. Proposition 208, initiating strict limits on campaign contributions and spending, was passed by voters in 1996, but was not put into effect because legal issues tied it up in court (the proposition was challenged on the grounds that its limits were unreasonably low compared to the cost of running for office in California). Proposition 34 attempts to accomplish what Proposition 208 of 1996 could not. As did Proposition 208, it intends to limit campaign contributions and loans to state candidates and political parties, but to higher levels than what Proposition 208 designated. It also attempts to provide voluntary spending limits, expand public disclosure requirements and increase penalties."

Abstract
This paper explains similarities in the Nat Turner revolt and the Muslim uprising of 1815 in Bahia. Both revolts involved (1) a thoughtfully strategized method of procuring change within societies built on slave trade, (2) deadly and violent consequences for their leadership, (3) highly publicized and documented by the press and government, and (4) caused a panic, which influenced ideas and changes that made the future happen. The author points out that the Nat Turner revolt was smaller in regards to organization and mob than the Bahia uprising, but it had a more defined influence upon American Southern society. The paper relates that the Bahia uprising remained local, yet was still impressive. Because slavery did not have as far-reaching influences for Brazil as it did for the American South, it was easier for the culture to adjust.

From the Paper
"This now was the most dangerous part of their trajectory with the sea to the left and high cliffs to the right, the men had to pass the Quartel of the Calvary and the Calvary was ready. The Males charged, scattered, chased and hunted down by mounted soldiers, and this effectively was the end of the Male Revolt. It was also the beginning of the repercussions. It is important to note that during the three hours of the revolt itself, not a single citizen who was not a part of the constabulary or armed forces was harmed. There was no looting, no wanton violence. With the exception of one house set fire to by the slaves escaping it, nothing was damaged. Still, to protect the innocent from mass hysteria, soldiers were ordered to destroy property and plunder the area."

Abstract
The paper discusses the 1763-1766 uprising of the Native-American forces who, led by Chief Pontiac, sought to prevent further British expansion. The paper describes the uprising in detail and how it led to the Proclamation Act of 1763 and to a temporary peace between the British and the Native-American populations. The paper discusses how although this peace was short-lived, the effects of Pontiac's rebellion were that Native-American peoples in North America discovered power in cooperation and a means to combat future British expansion.
From the Paper
"During the French and Indian War, which lasted from 1956 to 1963, the Indian tribes of the Ohio Valley in North America fought side by side with French soldiers to prevent British expansion across Pennsylvania. For the Native Americans, life under French rule had been relatively problem free, in that the Native Americans were in possession of their lands, and did not lose rights to resources, services, or cultural tradition. Their condition actually improved due to the additional services, tools, and resources provided by the French trading posts established in the region."
"However, at the close of the French and Indian war, and with the victory of the English, the Treaty of Paris in 1963 gave all French lands in North America to the British. Word quickly spread to the Ohio Valley that the tribes who had fought next to the French were now expected to turn their loyalties over to George III of Britain and fall under British rule. The Native Americans of the region feared British influence on traditional customs, and believed British settlers would quickly come to claim their lands across the Appalachian Mountains."

Abstract
This essay is about Tacitus and the tactics he used in his writings. It is an analytical, argumentative work about a specific British uprising in 61 CE and how Tacitus portrays women both before and after the rebellion as opposed to how he describes the Romans and men involved.
From the Paper
Tacitus, in his Annals, wrote about many events, one of which was a certain British rebellion. The rebellion occurred in or around 61 C.E., but Tacitus did not write his Annals until 109 C.E. A Celtic tribe in Wales called the Iceni, who were under the control of Nero?s Rome, revolted. A woman named Boudica, who was the rightful queen of the province and who had been greatly wronged by the Romans, led the revolt. Boudica was whipped while Roman slaves viciously raped her two daughters. The Roman soldiers took over the land; the kingdom and the King?s property were ?plundered as though they were the spoils of war? (Dudley 139). Soldiers and slaves took everything belonging to the members of the upper classes and pushed them off their land. The Queen led her troops, which mainly consisted of women into battle against ?Romanized? cities in Briton, such as London. The troops ravaged the countryside until Suetonius, a great military leader and Roman hero, met her in battle. In this decisive battle, Boudica?s troops lost miserably and the Queen committed suicide.

Abstract
An infamous mass killing of peasants known as the "Matazana" occurred in El Salvador in 1932. It left the country with little chance of reform. This paper discusses: The Coffee Oligarchy, President Araujo and the Military Coup, United States Recognition of Martinez Administration, Marti and the Communist Party in El Salvador and the Peasant Uprising.
From the Paper
"Late 19th century El Salvador can be characterized as a country that would soon be ripe for revolution. During the 1860s, the economy of the country became almost solely based on the production and sale of coffee. El Salvador?s on a single crop created an enormous economic disparity between peasants and a coffee-growing elite. To compound the problem, the El Salvadorian government had close ties to the coffee plantation owners. The peasants lived in poverty and discontent for over half a century. Prior to their rebellion of 1932, the peasants had been subjected to harsh working conditions, including near starvation and extremely low wages, by a minority of coffee-growing moguls in the country who held a majority of the nation?s wealth. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, sporadic and unorganized peasant revolts broke out in El Salvador and were easily defeated by plantation owners and the El Salvadorian government. Several events occurred prior to 1932 that acted as a catalyst for organized peasant rebellion. President Arturo Araujo, elected in 1931, committed his administration to reform and had a popular following among the working class. However, the peasant hope for reform was soon crushed when General Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez overthrew the Araujo administration in late-1931. The rise in membership among the working-classes also occurred during this time period. The self-proclaimed overseer of Latin America during the early 1900s, the United States, failed to keep Martinez in check, as it had done with previous Latin American revolutionaries. This lax attitude on the part of the United States gave Martinez free reign and contributed to his indiscriminate use of violence. Overwhelming peasant discontent, more organized as the result of a growing Communist party, finally culminated in a small, planned uprising in January of 1932. A mass killing of peasants immediately followed the uprising. This event is known in El Salvador as the Matazana or "the Massacre." The devastation following the Matazana left little chance for future reform. Economic, political, and social conditions in El Salvador in the early 20th century led to the peasant uprising and the resulting Matazana of 1932."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Chinese Communist uprising in Canton in 1927 was put down by Nationalist forces under Chiang Kai-Shek, but it remains a seminal event in the development of China's present government.

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the great importance played by the division between Communist China and Soviet Russia in the field of global geopolitics in the second half of the 20th century. The writer looks at factors involved in this split in the Sino-Soviet alliance and maintains that the main roots appear to have occurred between Stalin's death in 1953 and the Hungarian uprising in 1956. This essay examines the events in this period with a particular focus on this impact on China's internal politics.
From the Paper
"In the arena of global geopolitics in the second half of the 20th century, few events were of more significance than the split in the Sino-Soviet alliance that fundamentally transformed the Communist world. While historians have noted many contributing factors to this division between Communist China and Soviet Russia, the ultimate origins seem to be rooted in the period between the death of Stalin in 1953 and the Hungarian uprising against Soviet rule in 1956."

"This paper is an analysis of the book China Pop: How Soap Operas, Tabloids, and Bestsellers Are Transforming a Culture, by Jianying Zha. The daughter of a Communist Party official, Zha was one of the idealists who believed that student opposition, culminating in the uprising in Tiananmen Square in 1989, would overthrow the system and bring about sweeping changes in China. She argues that, despite the West's perception that China remains a despotic Communist system, China has indeed been changing, transformed not by political activism but by cultural forces that have had a more powerful and more liberating effect than any amount of marching in the streets would have been able to accomplish. She suggests that recognizing these effects requires the outsider to understand the unique nature of the Chinese character, which reflects and personifies change in very.."

From the Paper
"The Boxer Rising: A History of the Boxer Trouble in China is an interesting book which contains reprinted newspaper articles from the Shanghai Mercury. The collection was first published in 1900, and the articles constitute direct evidence of the events as written by newspaper reporters at the time of the events depicted. The picture that emerges is immediate, as if the reader were on the scene, must as if he or she had just picked up the morning paper and read about events taking place up the block. The book can serve as a primary source for information about the Boxer Rebellion and shows the attitudes of the society of Shanghai at the time. The book does not have the distance of history, however, and therefore any interpretation of the events should be undertaken with more data than can be provided from newspaper reports written in the heat of the moment, with all the..."

Abstract
This paper refers to the contrasting accounts of the Mau Mau Revolt of 1952-1960 that hastened the independence of Kenya at the terrible price of a civil war and brutal British counterinsurgency campaign. It then discusses economic origins and Marxist historians' views, and examines the dimensions of Kenya's numbers who accepted or supported British rule, demanded a gradual devolution of power and maintained respect for institutions.
From the Paper
"The Mau Mau Uprising of 1952-1960, sharpened conflict between Kenya's European settlers and the Home Office in Britain that would bring Kenya's independence in 1963. The rebellion is a reminder of how colonial movements of the kind were often always well developed, ideologically, even as their heroes stay in popular memory as people involved in a noble campaign for freedom. The Mau Mau featured various contrasts in a unique movement that grew from an unique Kenyan environment. "

From the Paper
"The Maccabean Revolt is the name commonly given to the revolt of the Jews in Judea against Seleucid domination in the period 166-160 B.C. The name is derived from the leader, Judas Maccabeus, while another term for the revolt is the Hasmonean revolt after the family to which Judas, his father, and his brothers belonged. Some historians have extended the dates of the revolt to 142 B.C., the year when Judea became independent. The Maccabean Revolt was part of other events in the history of the Jews at that time and would in turn become a source for much of the history that would follow. The revolt can be examined for how it relates to broader Jewish concerns at the time, to the thrust of history prior to that era, and for what it says to later generations.
The revolt has a role in the wider Jewish issue of the ..."
