A private company with Governor William Moultrie as president and General Francis Marion as a director was charted by the state in 1786 to help with this task. From 1793 to 1800, Laborers worked hard clearing the way with only axes and shovels connecting Charleston and the Santee River. The twenty-two mile long canal was used as a route for cotton barges for fifty years until there was a working railway between Charleston and Columbia. A route by water remained a fascination. T.C.
According to document D, there were only two small areas containing either food or supplies while the rest of the ship was filled with passengers. The amount of food stored on that ship wasn’t enough to feed the passengers to both last the ship ride and an unknown amount of time on land, till they found more nourishment there. Serious problems soon emerged in the small English outpost, which was located in the midst of a chiefdom of about 14,000 Algonquian-speaking Indians ruled by the powerful leader Powhatan. Relations with the Powhatan Indians were tenuous, although trading opportunities were established. An unfamiliar climate, as well as brackish water supply and lack of food, conditions possibly aggravated by a prolonged drought; led to disease and death.
Aboriginal populations from Australia's north coast have been in contact with Macassan fishermen from south east Asia for over four hundred years. 1606 Dutchman Willem Jansz and his ship Duyfken explore the western coast of Cape York Peninsula and were the first Europeans to have contact with Australian Aboriginal people. There were clashes between the two groups. The Spaniard Luis Vaez De Torres sailed through Torres Strait. 1623 Dutchman Jan Carstenz described several armed encounters with Aborigines on the northern coast of Australia.
Poor harvests, famine, a lack of freedom and repressive policies meant that Russia was a country that was teetering on the brink of revolution long before dissatisfied factory workers marched on the Winter Palace in St Petersburg. Some of the causes of the 1905 revolution were due to poor working and living conditions. For instance, up to 15 people would share one room to live in, because of this demonstrations such as the one outside the Winter Palace commonly known as Bloody Sunday took place. 100’s were killed due to horrific misunderstanding by the Russian army. In many ways this helped fuel Russian Revolt.
This was terribly inconsiderate of the military as the other 82% of the nation was left to starve as the military was the government’s top priority. This led to extreme cases of hunger across Russia which soon became famine. Food shortages were at their worst in the towns and cities, Petrograd suffered particularly badly due to the remoteness from the food-producing regions. Secondly, transportation was a key pre- existing war condition; it was the disruption of the transport system rather than the decline in food production that was the major cause Russia’s wartime shortages. The attempt to transport millions of troops and masses of supplies to the war fronts created unbearable pressure on the Russian transport system, and it bucked under the pressure.
The new weapon napalm was used to burn villages many lives in Vietnam were lost as they were in South Africa. Both countries were both ruins and its people were angry as is shown in the language of the two poems. Both these poems are full of bitterness. The black poet who wrote Nothing’s Changed uses a vicious irony “we know where we belong” to show that he feels blacks and whites will never truly reconcile. His pent - up rage is expressed again in the final stanza “ Hands burn for a stone, a bomb to shiver down the glass”.
The disaster and devastation, emotional exile and the search for an ending are all the reasons to why Bassam has to leave his homeland. Bassam is surrounded by devastation and disaster everyday due to the civil war. This disaster begins to weigh on a person’s point of view as well as their behaviour towards others within their life and community. Bassam describes the way his neighbourhood has fallen apart due to the bombs: “Heat descended, bombs landed, and thugs jumped the long lines for bread, stole the food of the weak, bullied the baker and caressed his daughter. Thugs never waited in line” (12).
Any genocide in history is important because a lot of people died in cruel and unusual ways and it’s wrong. Victims of any genocide did not deserve to be discriminated against and did nothing to deserve to be killed from pure hate, and that is exactly what happened in the Ukraine Famine. The Ukraine Famine was headed by Joseph Stalin during 1932-1933. Millions Ukrainian people starved to death and as a result, it oppressed the national pride of the Ukrainian people. In 1929, Stalin arrested over 5,000 educated Ukrainian people and they were either shot without trail or sent to prison camps in remote areas in Russia.
The Causes and Impacts of the Revolutions of 1917 – Joe Ewbank Part One 'Bloody Sunday' took place on 22nd January 1905, when around 200,000 peasants protested about working conditions led by Father Gapon. They marched peacefully to the Winter Palace, where the Tsar lived, to give him a petition. The men guarding the palace panicked as Tsar Nicholas II was not home, and open fired at the protesters, killing hundreds and wounding thousands. This lost the Tsar huge amounts of popularity; before they were protesting to work with the Tsar, later against him. The Tsar lost popularity for many reasons between 1905 and 1914.
There would be no relief for front line troops for weeks on end. A near miss from an artillery shell could collapse a trench or cause dugouts to collapse burying alive those inside. The nearness of death, the fear of it and smell of it, the horrific sights of shattered bodies, the screams of friends cut in half and the constant shelling combined to send many men insane either at the time or later in life. Considering all these conditions, I think the worst thing about being in the trenches was the diseases which spread like wildfire throughout the trenches, due to the unhygienic conditions. There was also no way of preventing these diseases from spreading, as the medic’s in the trenches barely had any medicine to treat all of soldiers who caught diseases.
