The Palestinian Diaspora 1947 Onwards: Social And Political Reasons, Margaret Sheppard
The Palestinian Diaspora 1947 Onwards: Social And Political Reasons, Margaret Sheppard
Young Historians Conference
The Palestinian diaspora in 1948 was the result of many social and political factors, including the impact of Jewish immigration, conflicts between the Arab world and the new Jewish state, and the Zionist desire for a Jewish homeland. The diaspora did not stem from anyone single incident or motivation, instead it was the result of numerous events and growing tensions. It was the end product of social upheaval and pro Israeli political policies during the formation of the state of Israel. In this paper, the diaspora is explained in terms of its social and political causes.
A Beacon Of Hope In The Darkness: The Danish Resistance, Lydia Bales
A Beacon Of Hope In The Darkness: The Danish Resistance, Lydia Bales
Young Historians Conference
Following the German invasion of Denmark in 1940, the Danish people presented a unified political and social resistance movement in order to defend those persecuted by the Nazi regime. Although occupied by Germany, Denmark became exempt from many of the extreme policies practiced in most other Nazi-controlled countries. A closer examination of these circumstances reveals how this exemption status, as well as support from the Danish Church, and king allowed for the accomplishment of something seemingly impossible; leading ninety five percent of the Danish Jewish population to safety.
Friend Of The People, Enemy To The Cause: Jean Paul Marat, Charlotte Corday, And The Consolidation Of Jacobin Power In Revolutionary France, Claire Martin
Young Historians Conference
During the volatile period, 1789 to 1795, many of the concepts that made up the backbone of the French Identity were challenged. While thousands of ew-aged French subjects protested, groups of impassioned revolutionaries met the call for change. Although these groups shared the common goal ofliberty for the French people, they differed greatly in their visions for the hazy future of France. By the end of 1792, two competing schools of thought would emerge as the primary political parties of the new state: a sect of zealous radicals, known as the Jacobins, and a sect of moderate radicals, known as …
Corinth As A Catalyst Before And During The Peloponnesian War, Kevin Rhine
Corinth As A Catalyst Before And During The Peloponnesian War, Kevin Rhine
Young Historians Conference
This paper discusses Corinth's role in both directly persuading and indirectly maneuvering Sparta to declare war on Athens. Fashioning such a plan required Corinth to convert Sparta from an outright isolationist to a reluctant ally. Yet, as one of the lone third-party states in Greece, Corinth needed to single-handedly persuade a much larger and more important city-state. Although most scholarship tends to focus on the two major city-states, this paper suggests that third-party states like Corinth may have had a much greater role than previously thought in shaping the course of the Peloponnesian War. As the key player in forcing …
John Law’S Flawed But Well Intended Système, Katy Baker
John Law’S Flawed But Well Intended Système, Katy Baker
Young Historians Conference
Of the world's many economic meltdowns spurred by desperation, overconfident leaders with too much power, and a lack of experience or transparency, the Mississippi Bubble was one of the first that wiped out an entire economy. This paper explores how the decisions of John Law, a Scottish financier, economist, and compulsive gambler, led to the so-called Mississippi Bubble. A phenomenon which contributed to the drastic rise and fall of individuals' finances, hyperinflation, the devaluation of France's currency during the regency of Philippe d'Orleans.
Situation Twenty-One, Annamarie White
Situation Twenty-One, Annamarie White
Young Historians Conference
When Pierre de Coubertin revived the Olympic Games on April 6, 1896, he not only established a tradition of athletic competition, but put forth an enduring goal of international unity and global peace. Rooted in the values of sportsmanship and respect, the Olympics have matured into a global showcase. The Games are no longer simply an athletic competition, but a universal stage where nations from across the globe display their progress and forward-thinking. Under a worldwide watchful eye, the hosting country faces a particularly difficult challenge -- the manner in which they handle the inevitable obstacles is under strict scrutiny …
Senator Dodd Versus The National Rifle Association: Passing The Gun Control Act Of 1968, Bennett D. Sorensen
Senator Dodd Versus The National Rifle Association: Passing The Gun Control Act Of 1968, Bennett D. Sorensen
Young Historians Conference
After the assassination of President Kennedy, Senator Dodd sought to pass gun control legislation. The National Rifle Association took the forefront on the debate against Dodd and became more politically active as an organization. After long debate, news coverage, and blame on both sides, the assassinations of two political figures MLK and Robert Kennedy spurred Dodd's Bill into passing, but only after amendments lessening its original effect The Gun Control Act of 1968 formed the basis of the modern, polarizing gun control debate and reflects the process of passing gun control legislation today.
How Did Wwii Pull The United States Out Of Economic Stagnation?, Chris Constans
How Did Wwii Pull The United States Out Of Economic Stagnation?, Chris Constans
Young Historians Conference
This investigation will evaluate how U.S. involvement in WWII stimulated the economy allowing America to climb out of economic stagnation and decline. To assess the extent to which the war stimulated the U.S. economy, this investigation will focus on parts of the economy specifically effected by the war, and the U.S. economy as a whole from 1939‐1945. To understand the drastic change in economic growth, Depression era statistic will be referenced for comparison. The investigation will cover macroeconomic topics specifically government spending and the multiplier effect and their effects on GDP. This investigation does not extend to Roosevelt’s New Deal …
The Mask Behind The Man, Alex Whitehead
The Mask Behind The Man, Alex Whitehead
Young Historians Conference
Since the time of the Ancient Greeks, western theatre has always found a use for masks in its performances, yet it was not just their functionality that made them a cornerstone of early drama. The real importance did not come from what masks could physically show, but from what they could represent for the cultures that used them. This paper looks back as far as the playwright Thespis and explores how Greek beliefs on identity, glory, and hubris shaped the meaning of masks, and look the implications of these ancient thoughts on the world of theatre today.
Fear And Loathing In Indochina: An Analysis Of The American Refusal To Sign The Geneva Accords, 1954, Evangeline L. Heath
Fear And Loathing In Indochina: An Analysis Of The American Refusal To Sign The Geneva Accords, 1954, Evangeline L. Heath
Young Historians Conference
At the 1954 Geneva Conference, five standing world powers attempted to come to a resolution on the ongoing violence in Indochina—a military conflict in small, economically-insignificant nations including Vietnam which ultimately became a microcosm for the political and military divide between communism and capitalism around the world. In this paper, I argue that the refusal of the United States' delegation to sign the conference's accords signals a fundamental shift towards radicalism in American policy and ultimately foreshadows their defeat during the Vietnam War.
The Rise And Fall Of Yugoslavia, Olivia Hinerfeld
The Rise And Fall Of Yugoslavia, Olivia Hinerfeld
Young Historians Conference
In the last century, one nation achieved an incredible rise to power and devastating collapse in the span of mere decades. Yugoslavia-a now nonexistent country-flourished under the influential leadership of Josip Broz Tito. Elected President in 1953, Tito went on to rule over Yugoslavia until his death in 1980. How was Tito able to unite a region consisting of six national republics and two autonomous regions into one communist entity? The answer lies in Tito's policy of "polycentrism"; however, upon his death, the policy collapsed due to the ineffective leadership of the collective presidency, economic troubles, and ethno-religious unrest, resulting …
Labor Issues During The Construction Of The Panama Canal, Paul C. Diebold
Labor Issues During The Construction Of The Panama Canal, Paul C. Diebold
Young Historians Conference
The Panama Canal represented America’s first great achievement on the international stage. But in its triumph, the United States showed itself willing to pursue success on the backs of the laborers—most of them black—without whom the canal could not have become a reality. This paper focuses on these men—men who braved dangerous conditions and the institutionalized segregation of the Canal Zone despite America’s reluctance to confront the issue of racism over a group of non-citizen, non-white laborers hundreds of miles removed from any American city or shore.

Young Historians Conference
This Internal Assessment investigates how propaganda in the media influenced Nazi Germany's development as a single party state. It reviews Adolf Hitler's background and role in the development of a propaganda ministry as well as Joseg Goebbels, the man who created the propaganda itself. Single party states use propaganda to increase and spread the popularity of the party. There is also a focus on propaganda techniques, such as bright colors to draw a viewer in, and the different propaganda outlets a citizen would have been exposed to. In this investigation, propaganda was found to have positively affected Germany's rise as …

Vestal Virgins Of Rome: Images Of Power, Melissa Huang, Amanda Coles, Faculty Advisor
Vestal Virgins Of Rome: Images Of Power, Melissa Huang, Amanda Coles, Faculty Advisor
John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference
From humble beginnings, the Vestal Virgins were able to create a foothold in political life through the turbulence of the transition from Republic to Principate. In part due to the violent and perilous transition, the Vestal Virgins of Rome began to represent a sense of what it meant to be Roman. The manifestation of the symbolization of Rome gave the Vestals great power, which they expressed in political and social venues. In order to describe these expressions, this presentation explains the religious and social roles of the Vestals established before the Late Republic. This is necessary because most of the …
The Readability Of Historical And Modern Writing, Sophia Chong
The Readability Of Historical And Modern Writing, Sophia Chong
Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD
This research explores the difference in readability of historical and modern writing. The goal of this project is to determine if modern academic rhetoric is easier to comprehend than a historical primary source about the same topic. This has been done using a variety of quantitative methods widely used to analyze the accessibility of writings to compare sections of “The Confederate Reader” by Richard B. Harwell. Upon examination, it can be seen that despite the widely perceived convenience in comprehending modern writing that in fact, a primary Civil War period source is more readable than its current day academic counterpart.
From Ashes To Architecture: Memorialization At Buchenwald Concentration Camp, Sara Elyse Kaplan
From Ashes To Architecture: Memorialization At Buchenwald Concentration Camp, Sara Elyse Kaplan
Graduate Research Symposium (GCUA) (2010 - 2017)
Buchenwald concentration camp, located in Weimar, Germany, was a place of suffering, cruelty and death during World War II and during the first five years of the cold war. As many were tortured and perished there, it has since become a place of remembrance. Being one of the few concentration camps to not be destroyed by the Nazis before they could be liberated, since its final closure in 1950 numerous memorials have been erected to commemorate the events that took place and the people who fell victim to those events. Following several theorists four of the memorials at Buchenwald are …
