History - December 2007

Can anyone and list some external or uncontrollable influence that affected Roman life in major ways?? For some reason I can only think of social and cultural aspects and I'm supposed to write a brief essay.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The reality currently is military men/women/and the folks there on contract, are being charged for murder during this Iraq war. It matters not to me where they are when the 'murder' occurs someone apparently has to pay. I have been watching the tv program '24' long before the Iraq war (and have been alive thru a few others-none of which were imprisoned for murder without evidence). Whoever the writers are they have some experience in reality. In the episode where Jack Bauer had to cut off a man's head to infiltrate an organzation plotting to do unspeakable things-he even became an addict. I saw Hamburger Hill, Rocky (in which one man was being tracked to the death by a sheriff, who was sorely fooled) we have men who are trained to do these things but never tell. I don't condone murdering your pregnant wife because she has become an encumberance or conspiring with a school boy to kill your husband for money. War is ugly and bloody and this world is not the one I was born in.

I know that now we calll it BC, for instance BC 431. But what was the reference before Jesus came, because at that time they obviously had no idea that he would be born on the Earth 431 years later. Does anyone know how they counted years?

My nine page essay on the first explorers of America is due Monday. The past three days I haven't been able to write a thing because I'm stuck on a thesis, in my opinion, the hardest part of the essay. I wanted it to be: The determination of the people from around the world set the groundwork for our nation.

How does that sound? I started having trouble proving my thesis. Informing my readers about the explorers and the places they claimed...a cinch. But what am I supposed to write about how they set the groundwork? All they did was discover land and claim it for other countries...no motive to make a great independant nation.

Should I change my thesis yet again?!

Also as the holocaust of six million Jews in World War I was eventually revised to zero, the Jewish magazine FORWARD, November 25, 2005 is continuing to revise downward the number of Jews claimed to have been exterminated in Auschwitz from the one-time figure of nine million, to not millions, not hundreds of thousands, but "thousands" of "deaths," not exterminations.

I'm not saying that after the world congress of jews delcared war on Hilter in the 1930's w/ 40 k protesting in NY alone, that Hilter in return, didn't declare war on the jews. He most certainly did. He rounded up any and all non oath taking people living in Germany, placed them in internment camps, and put #'s on their skin. I believe we all agree this is pretty factual.

However, I'm questioning the amount of jews that died in the internmint camps. I realize that the family of jews or something to that effect, receive a monthly (?) check based on the total # of jews that died in the camps. So...

Ideologically, Spain was a fascist country like Germany or Italy. The Germans assisted the fascists in overthrowing the Republican government which lead to Franco being installed as ruler. So why didn't the Spanish fight alongside the other fascist powers in World War II?
