Franklein D. Roosevelt 1930s Leader

I believe FDR to be the most influentual leader of the 1930s because he always did what he thought was best for his people at that time. FDR was the man who created the New Deal that helped out the unemployed by reforming the economic systems and the banking systems. He created organizations such as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation U.S. and the Securities and Exchange Commission. His efforts towards getting the U.S. and Europe out the depression were exceptional and this is why I think that he was the most influentual leader.

WWI Persona

I was ten years old when the war began. Being a child i am shielded from most of the scary details. Although my friends and I are protected, I vividly remembers my father taking wheat and bringing home flour. Since flour, sugar, rice, and coffee were scarce, the government confiscated it. When this war broke out I really do not understand what is happening, but I am really worried about my family and friends.

Unionization - Female Factory Worker

As a female factory worker I'm single and get to work full time. I don't get paid much as a female but I have more opprotunities than other women. I am not married and I dont have kids which allows me to spend less time at home than a woman that has kids. I do wish that I could get paid as much as men and that all women got treated fairly. My mom has to work out at the markets making barely any money at all, so many things are not fair but its better than it was.

The French Revolution

The Commoners or the Third Estate Grievanices:

- For every head to count.
Even though they out numbered the rest and would win every time it would only be fair because majority should rule.

- More power
For the same reason as above the Third Estate should be able to enact change because they carry the most people.

- Reform Needed
They wanted everything to be fair and by allowing the upper class to run everything is not fair to the people at all.

- Declared the National Assenbly of France
This is important to allow the majority of France's population to be important and obtain control like they wanted. It would take away from just one man calling all the shots for our country.

Thirty Years War

Causes:

1. There was The Peace of Augsburg that could only bring temporary truce in the religious conflict. It only reconized the Lutherans and Roman Catholics so whem Calvinism started to grow the peace was lost. They Calvins wanted equal recognition of their rights just as the others had.
2. There was a direct conflict in the Hapsburg-ruled Kingdom of Bohemia, but this period was followed by many others that contributed.

Effects:

1. The Peace of Westphalia: which ended the Thirty Years. It expanded the Peace of Augsburg to include the Calvinist which was a big problem before.
2. The Holy Roman Empire turned into a number of virtually independant states.
3. Switzerland and the Dutch Republic independance was recognized.
4. The German states the right to make treaties and alliances, which weakened the Roman Empire.
5. Sweden got Western Pomerania
6. Brandonburg got Eastern Pomerania

Calvinism

JOHN CALVIN- He believed that people already predestined for salvation, that success on earth determined your place in heaven, and that hard work and no leisure time were signs of success.

They had many beleifs such as being pessimistic about man and optimistic about God. They trusted in predestination. Every part of the Bible was taken literally by the Calvins but they rejected the Papal authority. The Calvins believed in no smoking, dirnking, gambling, blaspheming, dancing, music in religious. That you should not have too much leisure time because it will lead to sin.

Christopher Columbus Good or Evil

Christopher Columbus could be considered to be good or evil depending on one's opinion. In my eyes Columbus would be considered evil because of his selfish ways and how he treated people in the process of his explorations.



Christopher Columbus was a greedy man whose only concerns were God, glory, and gold. To complete his exporations he had to do many things to the natives that were crul and selfish. To get God he thought that he had to try and be as good as him. So by going on exporations he was able to lead people to the new world a better world and he did this so that he could look or be one with God. Then comes the glory, Columbus was not the first person to find North America in fact he just took all the credit for it. Nothing he did on the voyages was to better the world but to better himself and make himself well known. He also borrowed money to go on his exporations from the Queen and King but then did not have any plans in repaying them but just keeping his riches. When he went to explore he went for gold too so when he returned he had plenty of money to spare but would not. These reasons to explore are all rooted to be selfish because to him God, glory, and gold were all that mattered and they were all for the good of himself.

Another way that Christopher Columbus is evil is through his treatment of the natives. He got many of them sick and they had no way of defending it because of the fact of the matter that no one could fight it off because it was a European disease. Columbus also forced the natives into becoming slaves by making them search for gold. The problem was that they did want to do that and the places he made them search were places that did not even have gold. Knowing that they would not find gold he stilled killed them. When he would carry them back to places like Spain he just throw the sick over the side. After all the dieing Columbus had wiped out a whole tribe.

Christopher Columbus was a evil man that took the blame for something good that he did not even do and then kept his riches even through he was supposed to pay his sponsers back. He did every thing in a selfish way and this is what made Christopher Columbus an evil man not a good helpful hero.
