I certainly won't write your essay for you but I'd recommend doing your paper on Alexander III of Macedon aka Alexander the Great as he was a very influential and interesting figure in Greek history. Although king of ancient Macedonia for less than 13 years, Alexander the Great changed the course of history. One of the world's greatest military generals, he created a vast empire that stretched from Macedonia to Egypt and from Greece to part of India. This allowed for Hellenistic culture to become widespread.
The Encomienda system left a lasting impact on the newly independent Latin American nations. Much of the local belief system and structure was destroyed and replaced with Catholicism. Many of the natives had been treated so poorly, abused, and taken advantage of that repairing the broken relationships was near impossible. The natives were extremely fearful of the Spanish and those that replaced them in power. They had been seen as less than human and simply a work force to use until they died, much as some slaves were seen in America decades later. Natives would face severe discrimination for years after.
Equality of opportunity, the rule of law, limited government: these are core values that most Americans come across
The American patriots seemed the lesser military force when compared to the troops of the British empire. However, they did have factors that played to their advantage.
- They were highly motivated, fighting for their independence as a nation. They also knew that if they lost, the penalties for treason against the British were worse than death in battle.
- They were fighting for their home turf <u>on their home turf</u>. They had "home field advantage," in a sense, knowing the geography better than their British adversaries.
- The colonists became more than just militias, but a truly strong, disciplined military force under the leadership of General George Washington and other skilled leaders.
- The American side used whatever tactics were needed to win, rather than being stuck in traditional battle patterns that had been the norm for European warfare in the 18th century.
- The American side also received a HUGE advantage of financial support and military support from France as an ally, which strengthened their side against the British.
