I'm making a pop-up book in history about different people and countries and one of them is Austria. In my book it is talking about the thirty years' war and then talks about Austria so I can't tell if Austria is just in there by it or if Austria was involved in the war.

The resulting huge, strapping men would be trained to compete in inter-plantation bare-knuckled boxing matches.

Something in world history that had a big affect on world history. Nothing on US history. Nothing too broad or vague. I wanted to do the rise and fall of Nazi Germany, but it was too broad.

THANKS!

I am astounded with the utter reversal of so many american values, like before we was a brave country that was known to the bad asses as one they admired for its integrity and they did not desire a fight with. Now we are despised as cowards with pre-emptive strike speaches trying to threaten other nations and go about like unchristian busy bodies telling everyone how they have to deal contracts for oil and securities with our industry. We are like a bad player and if we get to many enemies we shall have serious troubles when the underdogs arise with new sources of assistance since it is not by violence against Iraq households we shall make any freindship or deal any culture exchange with a whole lot of people all over this world. We are stupid, here is america our home and it is good, why are we about war everywhere and not healing our own social conflicts and bringing peace into our own lands.
