Next, Charlemagne aimed to expand his kingdom, carrying out successful military campaigns against the Lombards (in modern-day Northern Italy), the Saxons, and the Avars (in modern-day Austria and Hungary). He conquered most of Western Europe reaching Northern Spain, Bavaria, and Southern Italy.
Charlemagne employed "novel siege technologies and excellent logistics." He led a well-organized large army, heavily armed and armored, who traveled in horseback, allowing them to travel large distances. They relied on their maneuverability and on an organized system of conquest, building fortresses, leaving garrisons in forts, and gathering enough resources and supply for their conquests.
As an emperor, he was a talented diplomat and converted most of his kingdom to Christianity. He initiated military, economic, educational, and religious reforms, making him the protagonist of the "Carolingian Renaissance."
After Charlemagne's death, his son Louis became the sole ruler of his empire. Eventually, his empire was split among 3 of his grandsons and was dissolved by the late 800s, primarily because of a new wave of attacks from the Muslims, Vikings, and Magyars. <span> </span>
The cultural assimilation of Native Americans was an assimilation effort by the United States to transform Native American culture to European–American culture between the years of 1790–1920.George Washington and Henry Knox were first to propose, in an American context, the cultural transformation of Native Americans. They formulated a policy to encourage the "civilizing" process.With increased waves of immigration from Europe, there was growing public support for education to encourage a standard set of cultural values and practices to be held in common by the majority of citizens. Education was viewed as the primary method in the acculturation process for minorities.
The landmark US Supreme Court´s sentence Brown v. Board of Education of 1954 stated that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. It reverted the 1896 Plessy versus Ferguson decision that upheld segregated but equal public facilities as constitutional. Brown v. Board of Education gave impulse to the Civic Rights Movement.
