Because of the Crusades, the Christian as well as the Islamic world had 360 degrees changes and negative long-term effects. Before the crusades most of Christians were pacifists and regard Jesus Christ as the Prince of peace; but due to the Crusades, Christians' posture about violence totally changed. From their perspective violence could be justified if it was used just in wars to defend their church and God's mandates. Although at first, the Crusades were used in order for Christian pilgrimages to access the Holy city of Jerusalem, which was something good because the Muslims had taken control over the city and didn't let them in. Later on, the Crusaders lost their original path and promoted religious warfare for two and half centuries committing pillaging, murder among other atrocities not only against Muslims but also against any other vulnerable minorities.
Crusades also helped to elevate the authority of the papacy as the authoritative spiritual and temporal power in Europe before the emergence of the nation-states. Nowadays, because of the way Crusades develop most Muslims regard them as cruel and savage onslaughts by European Christians.
<span>When Lewis and Clark went on their expedition they talked to the natives about the government and attempted to make friends. They treated the natives well and gave them lots of gifts. They wanted to facilitate a good relationship and friendship.</span>
A huge part of it had to deal with the way that the French government dealt with debt.
<span>Only their third estate, primarily poor merchants and peasants, paid any taxes. The French largely funded the American Revolution because of their long-standing animosity with Great Britain. However, the debt they incurred was only slowly paid off because the people they were taxing had very little money. The country fell into an economic crisis and resentment began to build against the first and second estates--the weathly, title-holder, landed gentry and clergy. Thus the revolution. </span>
<span>A good comparison is Great Britain post-America Revolution, who taxed their citizens more fairly and avoided revolution by not throwing most of their citizens into the desperate straits of poverty.</span>
Van Cliburn (1934-2013) was an American pianist that was worldwide known because in 1958, when he was 23 years old and in the middle of the Cold War era and its tensions, he won the International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow. Moscow was the capital of the Soviet Union, the country that leaded the communist block and that was the US greatest enemy.
The international piano competition was an event designed with the aim of proving the cultural superiority of the Soviet Union, after the very recent victory that the URSS had reached in the space race with the launch of the Sputnik in 1957.
Of course, it would be considered a shame that a foreign artist, and even more an American one, could perform better than the national ones. In fact, the soviet judges asked President Khrushchev if they could give the prize to an American. In this case, prejudices were left apart between two declared enemies, and culture won that night when the prize was given to the best artist, the American pianist.
Young people might be attracted to, and supportive of totalitarian governments, because those kind of governments say things that people believe in, and they tend to replace corrupt governments.
They also tend to get big things done ( EX: Hitler put 5 million workers into place and crushed communists).
