The army was growing more and more restive, and, on the day Cromwell left London, a party of soldiers seized Charles I. Cromwell and his son-in-law, Henry Ireton, interviewed the king twice, trying to persuade him to agree to a constitutional settlement that they then intended to submit to Parliament. Blass and his cohort were members of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, an elite force whose specialty was “tactical deception.” They’re now better known, though, as the “Ghost Army” — a troop of soldiers that doubled, in Europe’s theater, as a troupe of actors. Ultimately, if he wanted to defeat his political foes, he would need to use force. Historians have identified the string of defeats suffered by the Army of Tennessee as a primary cause of Confederate defeat in the war. From their diaper days to their approaching dotage, the boomers have been history’s most documented generation. Headlines such as “Boomers Hit New Self-Absorption Milestone: Age 65” mock this famously self-reflective demographic. As boomers reach retirement age, the media frenzy continues with article after article on how youth-minded boomers are redefining old age.

The West claims to support human rights, but the words are beginning to ring very hollow in our ears if the bloodshed in Chechnya is not stopped. Here are nine must-know facts about Caesar. Together with local partner organisations, nine German peace and development organisations are working towards a world in which conflicts are resolved without violence. The divided German church thus bore the brunt of the costs of civil war, and it needed peace almost at any price. Kohiyama organized sit-ins to protest civil rights violations and collaborations with the Freedom Riders, who challenged segregation in the South. Julius Caesar (100 B.C.E.-44 B.C.E.) was a towering figure of ancient Rome, a populist politician and brilliant military strategist who overthrew a corrupt Roman republic and crowned himself dictator for life. By avoiding these common mistakes – not researching their experience and expertise, choosing solely based on price, failing to meet in person, and not checking their reputation and track record – you’ll be better equipped to find a qualified attorney who will advocate for your rights and help you achieve a favorable resolution. More importantly, says Billows, Caesar knew from experience that political fights in Rome were seldom settled by philosophical debate.

A black man named Crispus Attucks was the first fatality of the American Revolution, shot and killed in the Boston Massacre of 1770. Reputed to be the architect and ringleader of the bloody event, it was a topic of debate for more than a century whether Attucks was a heroic patriot or an instigator. Asian and Black activists collaborated on the Third World Liberation Front at UC Berkeley, which led to the formation of ethnic studies programs in California. The United States continued its major role in world affairs. President Clinton’s proposal to reduce the federal budget deficit through spending cuts and income tax increases was enacted by Congress in August, 1993. Congress also approved the North American Free Trade Agreement, which was designed to strengthen the American economy by forging a trade partnership with Mexico and Canada, in November, 1993. Two other significant trade agreements were signed in 1994-the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, dealing with world trade; and a preliminary agreement on free trade in the Western Hemisphere.

The economy had improved in 1993 and 1994, but voters indicated their displeasure with the general quality of life in the United States and with “politics as usual” in the November, 1994, elections. The confrontation soon ended, however, after a general ceasefire was negotiated by Turkey and Russia a week later. The notion of expanding Negro History Week to a month evolved over the decades leading up to and during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Freedom Schools in the South incorporated Negro History Week into curricula and by the mid-1960s many colleges and universities across the country began to transform the week-long event into a month-long celebration on their campuses. In their youth, many of them marched for civil rights and some protested the Vietnam War. Yet, their challenges show how Asian Americans resisted laws that limited their naturalization, believing they were entitled to their full rights as Americans.
