History

4 0

Answer: Lucretius' only extant work, written in dactylic hexameter, addressed to Gaius Memmius (who became praetor in 58 BC and failed to be converted) , written c. 59 BC, possibly incomplete and lacking final revision. He faithfully reproduces the doctrines or Epicurus. Epicurus was born in Samos 341 BC, after Athens had been defeated by Philip II of Macedon. Most of his writings have perished, particularly On Nature. Lucretius regarded him as the spiritual savior of mankind. Epicureanism was a missionary philospohy, aiming to give man happiness by making him self-sufficient. Its key teachings included: Study science in order to rid yourself of unneccesary fears, especially of the gods and death. Sensation is the basis of all knowledge. Pleasure that leads to pain shoul be avoided and pain that leads to pleasure should not be avoided. Pleasure means freedom from pain in the body and trouble in the mind. Not all desires are to be satisfied. Most pleasure is to be obtained by living a simple life. c: ur welcome

Comparing and contrasting different viewpoints will enrich the source analysis. Getting to know how the source is could assist historians to clearly understand the context in which the event took place.

The source of this historic event could also help historians to ask certain questions like the ideologies that supported the event to occur and the impact it has on the society.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

In 1898, On February 15, the warship <em>USS Maine exploded </em>and sank Havana Harbor. This historic event took the lives of about 260 men on board. There were about 355 men on board when the battleship exploded and sank.

During this period, Cuban guerillas were fighting for the independence of Cuba from Spain. However, in 1898, a riot broke out in Havana and this prompted the United States, who was in support of Cuba to send the battleship to Havana.  

The battleship commanded by Captain Charles was sent by the United States to Havana as a show of strength.

Some of the important details of this historical event include

  • The battleship<em> USS Maine </em>arrived Havana on January 25, 1898.
  • The battleship exploded on January 15
  • There were about 355 men on board
