Stalin's role in World War II was instrumental in the victory of humanity over Nazism. Slandered by his internal opponents and bourgeois ideologists after his death in 1953, his military merits are rarely given the prominence they deserve, while battles and smaller leaders are given more prominence than the Soviet steel leader.
<em>“In the direction of armed struggle, Stalin was generally helped by his natural intelligence and wealth of intuition. He knew how to discover the main element of a strategic situation and, as a result, he knew how to respond to the enemy, to unleash this or that important offensive operation.

To better tell a story or emphasize a point, authors sometimes use allusions that involve references to myths, classical, or traditional texts. Mythology, classic literature, and traditional literature are all types of literary genres. Allusions are an important part of understanding literature because they give us a deeper understanding of an author’s message. An author can skillfully draw upon allusions to give a story, poem, play, or other literary form more meaning or to provide clues about an author’s message.
You’re probably familiar with Greek and Roman myths. The Greeks and Romans had many gods and goddesses in common, but the Roman name often differed from the Greek name. Gods and goddesses from Roman and Greek mythology are often alluded to in other pieces of literature. For this reason, it’s nice to know about Roman and Greek mythology as you read more difficult texts in high school.
Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, for example, is chock full of allusions to gods and goddesses. For example, in Act I, Scene 4, Mercutio tells Romeo to “Take Cupid’s wings and fly higher than the average man.” And Romeo responds with “His (meaning Cupid’s) arrow has pierced me too deeply, so I can’t fly high with his cheerful feathers.” In Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of desire, affection, and love. Even though Mercutio has encouraged Romeo to dance like a man in love—like the winged Cupid—Romeo responds that he can't because he’s so much in love that it's weighing him down and making him unhappy.
Hey!
The evidence that proves that the Indus civilization included a well organized government was their cities were laid out in an organized pattern, and they had a complex plumbing system. They also had a system of weights and measures.
THANK ME LATER ;D
<span>During the reign of the czars and the proliferation of feudalism, most of the people were poor farmers with little say in their jobs. When industrialization happened, those poor people began taking the factory jobs and working for very little pay in terrible conditions. Yet now these people were now in a concentrated area and had a much better chance to talk and organize. They had many shared grievances and were able to talk out against those in power and increase the revolutionary movements.</span>
