King Henry II of England was said to have a terrible temper. When he was in one of his rages it was said he would fall to the ground in a fit and even chew at the filthy rushes. What are rushes?

Israeli and western references speak of Israel's victory in this war, while Arabs and Russians state that the Arabs (especially Egypt) won the war. Who do you think is right? Why?

Hi, I just wrote this poem cos its my history hwk. It is based on the events of the Battle of Little Big Horn, and i was just wondering wat u guys think. i would be grateful of anythin, good, bad or contructive - i'm just curious so criticise away!

The Battle of Little Big Horn



Near the Little Big Horn river
A battle would soon take place,
With death, blood, bows and arrows
Surely no-one would lose face

General Custer marched his troops
Up and down the hills till nigh
They walked, marched, hiked and trudged
To where the Indians lie

Sitting Bull consulted the spirits
With the Sun dance performed with gore
He had a premonition
Of a victory all would awe

When the Indian camp was spotted
No warriors were in sight
General Custer thought it would be easy
He thought there would be no fight

The General had made an assumption
One that he would regret
For the warriors were sleeping
And the Americans would soon be met

The 7th cavalry was split in four
Some with every leader
With Custer, Reno, Benteen and Calhoun
The troops went off in order

Without knowledge of the position
Or the tribes population and size
Reno led the first attack
And was met with angry cries

A retreat was unavoidable
After many soldiers died
But that was not the end of blood shed
Because next Custer tried

He could not cross the river
The bank was soggy and wet
The horses were sinking and annoyed
And the Americans now were met


The Indians advanced on the soldiers
And the soldiers did the same
Guns were fired, arrows drawn
As the battle now became

Soon panic and fear took over
And it was clear they could not win
For the Indians were stronger
Than they have ever been

As men from both sides fell
The Indians still kept coming
For they were fighting for their lives
But the Americans were retreating

General Custer was brutally killed
With 5 arrows in his torso
He fell beside the American flag
That was the American’s deathblow

That battle had been lost
The Indians had won
The Americans were terrified
But the war had just begun

When we discuss some history they seem to have the only true in the Americans books, forgetting that there is another side of the coin in every history chapter that they fail to acknowledge and address !!!
why is that?
it is a plan vwry well execute by years of disrupt history education establish by the gov. to brainwash the American population so they can be manipulate and direct to a false nationalism that create chaos around the world??
think for yourself and do not stick with the first book ,keep researching and then use your brain to get a fair conclution without let the nationalism beast that leaves in you take control of your thoughts!!!
