111 years is a short period for an empire to grow several times its original size. Most empires throughout history have expanded their frontiers to the point of growing several times their original size only after centuries and many conflicts with other political entities.

The period 622-733 saw the expansion of an empire that grow very rapidly: the Islamic Empire. It started in 622 under the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad, who conquered the entire Arabian Peninsula. It continued growing after his death in 632, under the rule of the Caliphs who conquered the Persian Sassanian Empire and many territories of the Byzantine Empire in the Middle East and Egypt. The Omayyad Caliphate established in 661 conquered the rest of North-Africa and the Iberian peninsula in the west and got to the border of India to the East. All these territories were conquered in the lapse of a century, which represents a very fast expansion based on the power of military strategy and religious faith.

Dawes Act
vredina [299]

1. Sincere individuals thought that if Native Americans adopted white clothing and ways, they would try first-hand how much better it was and leave behind their native culture, thought as uncivilized by that time. As they would become more assimilated to the American society, the Government wouldn't have to overlook their welfare.

2. The Dawes Act, named after its creator Senator Henry Dawes of Massachusetts, allowed the President to survey Native American tribal land and divide it into allotments to be handed to Native Americans as individual property.

3. Native Americans registered on a tribal "roll" were granted allotments of reservation land. They had to leave behind their culture and adopt the white American one. If they did so, they were granted U.S. citizenship.

4. Excess land after the distributed one to tribal members was sold on the open market. The land allotted to Native American families were a lot of the time desertic, and could not sustain them. The self-sufficient farming techniques were very different from tribal ones. Many of the tribal members didn't want to take up agriculture, and the ones that did couldn't afford tools, seeds and so to get started. Inheritance was also a problem: if there were many inherent, the parcelled allotments wasn't enough to sustain all of them.

5. The government succeeded in erasing a vital part of tribal culture, the common property of the land, setting the foundations for their assimilation and the destruction of their culture. In the long term, these various cultures still exist, despite the government's efforts on the contrary. If the government wanted to protect Native American rights, it failed.
