History - December 2007

Im looking for empires or governments that failed because they spread to too much land and their government and sources were spread too thin to be able to maintain control. I have used examples such as Alexander the Great and the greek society after him, and Ive used the Roman Republic, but what others happened after them?

Becket annoyed King Henry II who said "Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?", four knights overheard this and thought they could do the king a favour by killing Becket. The four knights did this and the king found out and felt guilt and shame, he then went on a shame walk in white rags and no shoes and te Pope at the time made Becket a saint.

My question is what happened to these four knights after this?

Did Winston Churchill ever give a Christmas speech to the fighting troops during WW2? Did he ever send a Christmas message in support of what the Allies were doing to free Europe? If so, can you give me the hyperlink to the site that lists ANY Chrtistmas speech from Mr Churchill. I can't find any an the internet.

The reason I ask is that I am reading a book called The Long European Reformation 1350-1750, by P. Wallace, and in chapter 1 he begins by saying 'between 1347 and 1350, an epidemic, later known as the black death, swept through Europe and killed perhaps one-third of its population.Imagine the effects of the frightening and unexplainable deaths of nearly two billion people' but when I turn to the next page he states that the population had ' grown rapidly, and by the fourteenth century, perhaps 75-80 million people inhabited the continent'. This statement confuses me, I know that he uses the word perhaps, and it would be hard to gather exact population figures, but these seem to be poles apart. I thought a billion is a thousand million in monetary terms, not quite sure for population counts. Does anyone know if I am just stupid and reading this wrong, or a way to find out an estimate of pre and post- Plague, Black Death populations for Europe, or could perhaps clear this up for me. Thx

When Abraham Lincoln made the statement" Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged" was he referring to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, John Murtha, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden?
