embassy in Tehran and seized control of the embassy. Farber provides both an international and domestic viewpoint on the crisis, which offers the reader more of an outlook on the situation. Farber’s international viewpoint provides the reader with the look into the origins of the situation and the policies the United States had put in place in Iran. These policies include the part in ousting Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh by the United States, the United States backing of the Shah and the inclination of policy makers to turn their backs to the problem of authoritarianism in Iran, which was causing suffering for the people in the country. These problems began when the United States took interest in the Middle East in the 1970’s because of its oil rich ground.
In 1980, the Shah died and the militants wanted the hostage deal of Shah standing trial and taking the punishment for his crimes in exchange for the release of the hostages. So now with the Shah passing it was impossible for the Shah to stand trial and be convicted for the said crimes. Leaving the hostages useless to the militants. So its time for a new deal to be made. In exchange for the hostages, the United States would unfreeze the accounts of the Iranian
Hitler was the main aggressor during 1939 who everyone appeased to, who is infamously known for his rise to power, his persecution of Jews, and his attacks on the world to dominate, that killed so many. Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, believed in the policy of appeasement and appeased Hitler at the Munich Conference which eventually lead to the start of World War II. The Western Powers responded to aggression with appeasement, and in 1939 the world was plunged into World War II, proving to the world that collective security is a better response to aggression. Hitler’s aggression was the main reason why Allied powers felt the need to appease. In 1930, after the Reichstag fire, Adolf Hitler rose to power because he was appointed

While this is happening, none of the people in Iran are fully aware of how to react because the country didn’t have a leader at the time. Marjane had to experience this imperialism during her teenage years and it played a large role in her perspective. To demonstrate this in the book, it says, “‘God did not choose the king. ’[said Marjane’s father] ‘He did so!
Symbols are deliberately used in stories to add deeper meaning, not only for the readers but also for the characters themselves. Michael Meyer defines symbol as, "A person, object, image, word, or event that evokes a range of additional meaning beyond and usually more abstract than its literal significance" (Meyer 972). In "Battle Royal" by Ralph Ellison, the narrator struggles to understand his grandfather 's advice, he tries to live by it only to feel as if his grandfather mocks him for it. Throughout the story there are many symbols which seem to suggest a connection to the circus but are not understood by the narrator until he a dreams of them once more. The dream highlights these symbols that compare the lives of African Americans to a
This mutual drive for the Shah’s departure led to “the country [having] the biggest celebration of its history” (42) the day the Shah left. The country of Iran, including the Satrapi family, was brought together by their shared lack of respect for Reza
Persia Summary Persia’s land was desired by both Britain and Russia. Britain and Russia both fought for control over the land with locals.

• The Persian Empire was the first hegemon in world history and the most culturally diverse and religiously open empire. • The early rulers of the Achaemenid dynasty turned cultural diversity into a source of “synergy and strength”. • The later rulers that followed were intolerant which ultimately led to the fall of the Achaemenid Persia. • Cyrus replaced local rulers with a Persian satrap, who essentially governed and remained loyal to Cyrus.
It has been generally accepted, while highly debated, that Germany is the sole instigator of World War One. Yet, there is a significant amount of evidence which can be attributed to the Russian Empire as the prime mastermind behind the initiation of this Great War. In the time period leading up to this war, it was a time of very militaristic tendencies. It had been said that Britain and Germany were in a fierce competition for naval dominance (Source – textbook), yet this was still not enough to be a triggering factor of war. Just days after the ultimatum was declined by Serbia, and before any declaration of war was formally declared, Russia began to mobilize a standing army of 1.2 million men (source – textbook).
Back during the Iranian revolution, there were two political parties that had separate factors leading to the revolution. The party that affected the revolution the most was the Shah dynasty, where Mohammad Shah inspired the white revolution which supported women 's rights and economical growth. While Mohammad Shah did lead his country away from Islamic idealism, he did allow for economical growth and social reform which still positively affects Iran today. The Shah dynasty had a monarchal power system, which allowed them to have overall power of the country.
From 1914 to 1918 Germany and its main ally Austria-Hungary fought an exhausting war against Britain, France, Russia (until 1917) and the United States of America. By 1918 Germany was weary, the economy was fully stretched and food was becoming increasingly scarce. The entry of the United States into the war in 1917 meant that the Allies had a new source of manpower and materials at their disposal. The initial success of the German offensives of March and April 1918 opened the possibility of a German victory. By September 1918 it seemed that military defeat was inevitable.
There are many genocides that could be compared to the one that was committed in Ender’s Game, yet the Armenian Genocide has two similar traits that to it that really makes it stand out from the others. Those two points really come from the motive and the reasoning behind the wars. The start of both conflicts relate to one side wanting to grow and expand their population. The fire that keeps these wars burning is fuelled by a general misunderstanding for each other. But these are only some of the points that prove the relevance between the two genocides.
Think your credit card debt can play a role in whether you’re approved for a mortgage or renting an apartment or home? It absolutely can. Mortgage lenders use what they call your “debt to income ratio” to determine how much you’re able to barrow. College students consider this; you are most likely going to have student loan debt coming out of college, add that to the lump sum of credit card debt you may have and divide that by your income right out of college. Are you going to be able to afford a home?
