Later, using the American Constitution as a framework, Nicaragua chose a difficult form of independent government (Langley, 55). Henry Stimson states that, The oppression and violence which characterized the communities of the isthmus during their early history long prevented their social life from acquiring stability and made brute force rather than conscience and public opinion the ruling principle in private as well as public affairs (p. 5).

There are many successes and failures of self-determination in the Middle East in the early twentieth century. In the analysis of the documents some successes might be that writers are asking for a home for the Zion Jewish people, the Ottoman Empire, and Syria. Failures might be the request for guardianship of the people to be entrusted to more advanced nations. Another failure might be that the General Syrian Congress opposed the creation of a Jewish commonwealth inside their borders, and also opposed any migration of such peoples into their country. Looking at the two maps ([doc.1], [doc.6]) I can see some successes and some failure.
They were far from perfect leaving many people unhappy with them. To resolve the issues brought about by the Articles the Constitution was produced to mend the flaws of its antecedent. Many people felt the changes brought to the government by the Constitution proved to be an extremely radical departure from the old government that had been established by the Articles and proved too weak for the new country.
What Impact did the Crusades Have on the Islamic World? The Crusades was designed to take control of Jerusalem from Muslim control, and to allow the Christians to regain power and influence. However, it had negative impacts on the Muslim world because it reversed their power, the Muslims could not spread their religion as before, and so they developed bad feelings towards the West for a very long time. The Muslims took control of Jerusalem for a very long time, and this made the Christians feel annoyed and displeased because they considered Jerusalem to be the center of Christendom. The Muslims had established their rule which the Christians saw as a direct threat to their religious interests and ideology.
This war was also considered inconvenient at that time. Also it corrupted almost every soldier’s mental state; because their families have claimed they have never been the same since. The current Iraq war follows similar guidelines. President Bush started the same problem with our soldiers but instead of it being the swamplands he invaded the desert lands of Iraq. Also he brought the idea of terrorism which is not worth fighting for.
Section IV - International Studies in Peace and Conflict To what extent can it be argued that by the 1960s, Diem’s rule of South Vietnam had been successful?? By the 1960s Diem’s rule of South Vietnam was not successful. His policies were deeply unpopular, his regime was corrupt and based on a system of brutality, and nearly every sector of society opposed him. However, Diem was clearly successful in consolidating his rule and providing early stability to the regime when he first came to power in 1954. Ultimately, Diem was a failure as his rule determined that either Vietnam would become communist or face another war.
In Egypt, they had a treaty named Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 where the Egyptians gained independence in exchange for British military control over the Suez Canal for 20 years.

So due to the promise the GB had made, the middle eastern countries gained independence. 5. He created a new political approach that is known as nonviolent noncooperation, which is what we commonly refer to as passive resistance.
“The United States have always protested against the doctrine of international law which permits the subjugation of the weak by the strong. A self-governing state cannot accept sovereignty over an unwilling people. The United States cannot act upon the ancient heresy that might makes right.” ( Halsall, 1997) They felt that the American Consitution and Declaration of Independence were being violated. The outcome of this policy took with it into the 20th century a more expanded foreign trade policy. American imperialism led to the overseas empire being both territorial and commercial.
Absolutist power is always dangerous in the hands of a monarch as well as in the hands of a movement (in this situation, the National Assembly). Freedom of speech opinion, religion and press were in France before the revolution, but disappeared because of it. And they blamed it all on their presents
Christians found it difficult to play a full part in Roman society because of many factors, even those who tried to be a “normal Roman” knew they never could be as much of Roman morality was conflicting with the morals of the Christian faith. One of the most obvious ways that Christians were different is that they did not worship the pantheon of Roman gods as most Romans did and therefore they were classed, ironically, as atheists. It is very obvious why they did not allow Christ to become another god equal to the others in the pantheon, in their eyes he was the one true God and they did not tolerate polytheism. Romans on the other hand could not tolerate monotheism! Christians however did try to be normal, everyday Romans by being good neighbours to those who weren’t Christians, they showed that they had integrity in what they believed and so earned the respect of many Romans.
