5 0

During the Cold War, the United States and Soviet Union were constantly competing for political and economic superiority on an international scale. The US and Soviet Union were both trying to spread their political ideas to other countries and pointed out the flaws of their rivals. The goal was to establish international dominance.

This is where the Olympics come in. The Olympics, are supposed to show which countries are the strongest/best. With this fact in mind, it is easy to see why the US and Soviet Union put so much emphasis on these games. They felt that the success, or lack therefor of, was a reflection of their society as a whole.

The above text illustrates in a lively way what people in the 19th century believed about the revival of the Olympic Games. However, it does not reveal anything about the first attempts of Greeks to revive the Olympic Games, long before the birth of the Baron de Coubertin. Later, in 1896, the 1st International Olympic Games took place in Athens. Many people contributed to the realization of the Olympic Games. In the 19th century the social structure of the national states was ideal for the gradual acceptance of the Olympic Idea in a new -national- framework. The symbolism of the Olympic Games reveals to us today the process through which people learned the new notions of their era.

How did napolean try to restrict rights and freedoms

Len [333]

One of the ways Napoleon restricted rights and freedom was through press control and deprivation of women's right.

Napoleon's declaration of emperor gave him supreme power with no governmental checks. He took away the peoples' voice in politics, which the people had strived for during the revolution.

The Napoleonic Code was aimed to make the authority of men over their families stronger. It deprived women of any individual rights, and reduced the rights of illegitimate children.

All male citizens were also granted equal rights under the law and the right to religious dissent, but colonial slavery was reintroduced.
