The Aztec’s Fall From Greatness The Aztec people created a mighty empire in Mexico. The ingenious Aztec society possessed a powerful military. According to u.s.history.com, “They had to conquer powerful rivals to control the region and establish Tenochtitlan as their capital city.” (Aztecs) It was the beginning of the end for the Aztec people when Hernan Cortes, a Spanish conquistador, intruded on the east coast of Mexico. How did Cortes and his soldiers defeat the mighty Aztecs? Many factors influenced the conquering of the Aztec people by the Spaniards including the Aztec’s religion, Spain’s superior weapons, alliances, and disease.
History should say that the Aztecs are truly an extravagant and advanced civilization. The Aztecs had high demands of their people and, more specifically, their army (Documents 1, 3, 10, and 12). For example, Aztec parents gave their children responsibilities very early in life, such as small household tasks. There was a very firm social order that oversaw the upbringing of a child in the Aztec culture. This social order was strict in the areas of marriage and punishments (Document 12).
He was in charge of trade and the way that matters were conducted in the Spanish colonies. The Ottoman Sultan also held complete power. Under the leadership of wise rulers the empire thrived and made great advancements in the arts and sciences. However, as more and more bad sultans began coming to power the empire was weakened and would eventually become a shell of its former self. Both the Sultan and the King would hold absolute administrative power, which would lead to good and bad things.
Also taking the fact that Texas was a part of Spain it is quite simple to imagine that the civil rights were pretty swell for them. Needless to say civil rights in Texas at the time was not as harsh as one may have thought so, although there was issues with race as well with problems with the surrounding Latino population and the rejection of the citizens opinion on being apart of the United States. Another crucial moment in the Latino civil rights and Texas was the battle of them Alamo and how Texas became independent. Following that brief time period of ease the tensions between Latino civil rights and America became an entirely different thing. Not only
The weapons are far more used and new ones are developed. The enemy targets the civilians and the infrastructures as well as the soldiers at the front, in the quest for "total victory" over the enemy's political, social and military structures.” (see source 7). In short, it is a war that affects the political, economical, social and technological sides of a country. The country I have chosen to write about is Britain. Britain had a very important role in the First World War, as they were a member of the Triple Entente as well as being one of the most powerful countries at the time.
As a lot of Americans call it, the Spanish-American war was a splendid little war. The war caused America to gain a lot and lose very little. Even though there has been a few negative effects as the result of the war, the United States changed history by acquiring more ports, territories and by building bigger navies. American imperialism was what Americans wanted the most. They wanted to extend their political, military and economic control all over the world.
We have our own currency, correctional system, and etc. Our fore fathers were the factor that made us who we are today because they changed things themselves. Even though we are considered one of the most powerful countries, we do have our issues. War may not be the best idea when it comes to fighting for change, but that is why we are here today. Many people do die in wars, but when they die, they die with honor.

Total war is a military conflict in which nations mobilize all available resources in order to destroy another nation's ability to engage in war. The practice of total war has been in use for centuries, but it was only in the middle to the end of 19th century that total war was identified as a separate class of warfare. There are several reasons of why Total War was recognized in the 19th century. The main reason is industrialization. As countries' natural and capital resources grew, it became clear that some forms of conflict demanded more resources than others.
