From my own knowledge I know that these acts, passed by the Imperial Legislative Council in London on the 10th march 1919, gave authorization to imprison people for up to two years without trial, anybody living within the Raj suspected of terrorism. This act was passed as a result of the Amritsar Massacre, when what started out to be a peaceful protest called by Gandhi soon escalated into violence after the arrests of Kitchlew and Pal. This showed clearly that British intentions were to repress rather than reform, and after all of the efforts Indians had made to support the British in the war and there economic suffering, they felt betrayed and provoked widespread fury in India. Source 15 also agrees with this statement, it states that the reforms were a response to the nationalist demand for greater involvement, so it shows us that they did respond, however the source further states that ‘these reforms eased the tension’ implying that they were more symbolic and in actual fact the reforms did nothing to help India gain any more power and control with in the British rule. In source 13 it sates that ‘many Indians were satisfied with the concessions’, this shows us that tension was eased from the reforms as many Indians were satisfied but there was still unrest within India.
After the horrific death of John F. Kennedy, his deputy, Lyndon B. Johnson, was appointed president of the United States of America. He immediately set up a commission to ‘as certain’ evaluate and report upon the facts relating to the assassination of the late president John F. Kennedy. The seven man commission was headed by Chief Justice, Earl Warren and included Gerald Ford, Allen W Dulles, John J. McCloy, Richard B. Russell, John S. Cooper and Thomas H. Boggs. The 500+ page warren report was soon produced, claiming
Since Trang Bang was being attacked by North Vietnamese forces, South Vietnamese’s air force dropped the napalm bomb to eliminate them. Although the bomb did eliminate the enemy forces, many villagers were either injured or killed. Villagers like Kim Phuc, who was the girl depicted running naked in the picture, suffered severe burns which led to literally skin being peeled right off her body. Kim lost two of her cousins in the bombing and two other villagers had died. In the main frame of the picture you see soldiers and children fleeing the fire inferno.

On Dec.12, 1974, Jimmy Carter announced his candidacy for president of the United States. He won his party's nomination on the first ballot at the 1976 Democratic National Convention and was elected president on Nov. 2, 1976. He served as president from Jan. 20, 1977, to Jan. 20, 1981. During his presidency there were many critical moments when he tried to establish balance. On the domestic side, the administration struggled during the 1979 energy crisis which started when the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, fled the country amidst protests.
“Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid” Jim Jones was a monster that goes unnoticed in American history. His dictatorial actions have changed America in a powerful way. On November 18, 1978, Jones led the Jonestown massacre that left over 900 people including himself dead. However, the deaths were done willingly by his followers, making this event even more disturbing. This event definitely changed America making it the second-largest, non-natural disaster-related killing of American civilians during peacetime.
You can hear the passengers taking the plane back while they were on the phone with their families. Following the 9/11 attacks President George W. Bush was taken to Omaha to Offutt air force base. He wanted to declare war on Al Qaeda, but it took 3 weeks to get the yes that he was looking for from congress. In early 2002 we sent troops out to Afghanistan, and in 2003 we invaded Iraq in search for Osama Bin Laden. Over 4400 Soldiers died in Iraq and 2000 killed in Afghanistan during a ten year war to end terrorism and the Al Qaeda network.
Roman Polanski's version appeared in 1971 in a time of hippies, free love and retaliation to the world's war. It was influenced by Polanski's own recent encounter with violence as his wife, Sharon Tate, was brutally killed by a crazed cult. McKellar's production was screened in the 1980s when intimacy was far more public. Both works are dramatic representations of the text. However, each director has privileged techniques which differentiate their
Adolph Hitler is the ultimate example of a tyrant. He built a new army in Germany and a new way of life; without the minorities. Hitler’s government killed millions of Jews and other minorities such as homosexuals and gypsies. On a not so radical display of Tyranny of the Majority, I want to show an example from my local community. There is a long standing festival in Luling, Texas; the Watermelon Thump.
One of the school’s alumni, Adam Lanza commenced the shooting in his alma mater and killed twenty seven people. Syrians are proved innocent in mass shootings and terrorist attacks since several of the incidents involved people of that country. Instead, refugees possess the stories and heart-breaking experiences which portray the endless struggle they face from the religious conflicts of the Middle
