During the Age of Exploration Europeans hoped to subside the power of Islam and diminish its threat to the security of Europe by expanding and controlling global markets by reducing their market trade, although it was believed the Muslim world had entered a period of decline and turmoil with the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate during the Era of the Mongols, on the contrary in the shadows of the Age of Exploration between the late Fifteenth and early Sixteenth century in the Middle East and South Asian subcontinent the rise of three great Muslim Empires, the Ottomans, the Safavids and the Mughals was occurring, the Ottoman empire being one of the strongest.

The textbook, Modern World History: Patterns of Interaction by McDougal Littell, states that the causes of World War One is a narrative of multiple factors, but the underlying narrative that the textbook teaches is that the blame for the war on Germany. When the textbook cites nationalism as one of the reasons for the beginning of World War One the first country listed was Germany. When the textbook mentions alliances as a factor that led to the war it does not mention any particular nation by name, but rather it has a picture of Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II. This leads a student to focus their attention to Germany’s ruler as the as the supreme reason World War One began. Additionally, in the caption below the Kaiser Wilhelm II’s picture, the
Elizabeth Fenn wrote Encounters at the Heart of the World because she wanted to tell the story of the Mandan people. Her goal was to tell a history story without focusing on telling it from a European perspective which typically focus on traditional settings such as the east coast when describing historical accounts of the United States. This book emphasizes the importance of the Mandan and how they were an important yet obscure part of American history. Fenn wants readers to know and care about the Mandan because it is a story about people, movement and interaction. In addition Fenn’s story challenges the perception of Indigenous people all over America and it allows the reader to get historical summary of important events while viewing
Thomas McCormick’s essay titled The World-System, Hegemony, and Decline, presents some relevant questions that I am unable to answer by just reading his work. Firstly, alluding to economic freedom and freedom of the seas as main U.S. objectives with regards to foreign policy might not be entirely accurate. It is true that the United States have used and will continue to use its elements of national power to protect economic interests all around the world, but are these the only instances where the United States fight for other freedoms? Is Uncle Sam our capitalistic egomaniac above anything else? Additionally, McCormick seems to be disappointed when he writes about how labor compensation differs between core, semi periphery, and periphery countries (Merrill and Paterson, 2010, 4).
World War II was one of the most destructive conflicts in human history, with an estimated 60 million deaths, America's use of the atomic bomb to end WWII gave rise to a debate on the ethical justification for using such weapons. The carnage began in September 1939 the day that Germany invaded Poland, and in 1945 it ended with a mushroom cloud enveloping Nagasaki. This bloodshed involved two main powers, the Axis powers made up of Germany, Japan, and Italy battling against the Allied forces of the Soviet Union, Britain, and the United States. This war was caused by the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles and the economic depression in Germany, leading to the German conquest of regaining former power. After Germany's defeat, sights were
Preservation and heritage, while closely related to one another, has a separate and distinct meaning. Heritage, when used in a historical sense, relates to landmarks or places that have meaning to those who inhabit a country. It may also be an area due to its historical and cultural values that one may hold to a time or an event. Preservation, on the other hand, is the process of protecting any physical landmark or object and repairing it to its original state. Because preservation and heritage are similar, historians are working to save a culture's customs.

The best form of knowledge is one that is relevant in all aspects of life. History is important not only because it offers insight on how life was in the past, but also allows us to better understand current situations. Since a young age, I found myself longing to be informed about the world around me. Thankfully, this urge was settled by local news broadcasts. Whether this interest developed due to the lack of cable television in my household or an actual interest, the news broadcast became “must-see” programming for me.
