It was during that time he was given the nickname “Teddy” by his parents, and he hated it (Biography.com). Theodore was weak as a child, but did not let it stop him, in fact; it encouraged him to work on ways to strengthen his muscles to become stronger. Theodore and his family traveled to Europe and the Middle East when he was ten and again when he was fourteen (Biography.Com). When he overcame his illness, he enrolled in college at Harvard, and his father died during his second year. He did not allow the loss of his father to hinder his growth,
He was ill prepared to become King. His father was supposed to become King after his grandfather, Louis XV, but his father died at the very young age of 20. Louis also had an older brother who was being trained to become Dauphin (heir to the throne) but also died young. Louis XVI was noted as being "very shy" as a young boy and remained so well into adulthood. It is correct that he supported the American Revolution, which nearly bankrupted him- but without his support, America may not have won Her independence.
He lives to see his son john Quincy become president, although he is plagued with illness. Adams and Jefferson become very close in their later years, and correspond often. They even die within mere hours of each other on the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence. Although this book was very interesting, it was not a page turner. John Adams story is fascinating but dull, so I would not recommend this book to the average reader.

Cesar Gutierrez Jr. History 1301 George Washington When thinking of George Washington, first president of the U.S. is probably the first fact that comes to mind. We grow up learning that at such a young age, and sadly that’s probably the only thing some know about him. The numerous amounts of victories in such difficult battles is quite mind blowing, leaves you wondering where we’d be if it wasn’t for him. Which is why George Washing is known as the Father of the U.S. and many will argue, the best president of the U.S. by far. Washington was born on February 22,1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia and was the first son of his father Augustine Washington and his second wife Mary B. Washington.
The Fall of the Romanov Dynasty The Romanov family ruled the Russian empire for over 300 years until Tsar Alexander 3rd died in 1894 and was succeeded by his eldest son, Nicholas 2nd. Nicholas’ reign brought an end to autocratic rule in Russia due to a vast number of various disastrous incidents and major mistakes. Nicholas himself was totally unprepared to rule a country as his father had died much younger than he had predicted, before teaching his son how to rule. Nicholas’ choice of wife, Alexandra of Hesse, also proved to be a disastrous one as she was unpopular with the Russian people and also became heavily influenced by the questionable mystic Grigori Rasputin. It was also during Nicholas’ reign that World War 1 broke out leading
I can’t help what’s past.’ She began to sob helplessly. ‘I did love him once — but I loved you too.’” (140) Gatsby expects that Daisy will be happy to leave Tom behind and break off her marriage with him. Gatsby's dream has been to build a fortune and reclaim the love that he once lost because, as he sees it, he was too poor for Daisy when they first met. This proves my claim because this displays, in Daisy’s words, that Gatsby did expect too much, he expected for her to make a big deal in front of Tom. This proves my thesis because we can see that he expects a lot of Daisy.
Franklin would begin to work for independence.

After she had died, he quickly became a big
The Prince was dedicated Lorenzo da Medici and his family after they retook their previous reign, having lost it after being ruling for 60 years. This manuscript, The Prince, was a desperately call for Machiavelli who intended to use it to get into political affairs once he was part of, with the previous leadership Pope Alexander and his son Cesare Borgia, and then exile of any military or political matters. The book deals with the aspects of human life in a profound manner rather shockingly against the morals that make men virtues. This manuscript was not intended for the press. “Wishing now myself to offer to your magnificence some proof of my devotion, I have found nothing amongst all I possess that I hold more dear or esteem more highly than the knowledge of the actions of great men, which I have acquired by long experience of modern affairs, and a continued study of ancient history […] I send this to your Magnificence.
