Public Opinion And The Textbooks In History, Agnes Ward

Bachelors’ Theses

Sir Robert Peel called public opinion a great compound of folly, weakness, and prejudice, wrong feeling, right feeling, obstinacy, and newspaper paragraphs. However it is the great force which has been constantly at work through the ages, sometimes helpfully, sometimes harmfully, molding human history. the introduction of the printing press made books, pamphlets, magazines and newspapers a popular medium for its expression. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, when history formally became an integral part of the curriculum of our great public school system, there has been developed a suspicion among individuals and groups that the subject might easily …

The Reforms Of The Gracchi, Marie Antoinette O'Connell

Bachelors’ Theses

In every decade and in every century there are certain men who stand out, so to speak, above all others. Some men are famous for literature, some for art: some are before the public because of their philanthropic work, while others are famous because of political standing.

The world has always been set, and in each decade or century different actors appeared. In our time we have men such as Governor Smith, Senator Reed constantly before the public. In the last century we had Lincoln and before Lincoln we had Washington, Jefferson, etcetera.

Gladstone And Ireland, Leona Reineck

Bachelors’ Theses

On December 29, 1809 there was born in No. 62 Rodney Street, Liverpool a man who in later years was called by some Englishmen, a devil, and by others, an angel, depending on their political view points. William Ewart Gladstone was the third of six children, a descendent of an old Scottish family, the Gledstanes of Gledstanes. He was born at a critical moment in the fortunes of England and of Europe.

The Earl Of Beaconsfield And The Eastern Policy 1875-1878, With Special Emphasis On The Congress Of Berlin 1878, Henry Raymond Radosevich

Bachelors’ Theses

In the year 1875 a grave crisis occurred in the Turkish Empire. This crisis was but one of the many problems presented to European diplomats of the nineteenth century in solving international crises. This was the reoccurrence of spasmodic revolutionary movements peculiar to nineteen century Europe. The difficulties of the Turkish Empire came from within, hence internal. With the corruption of the Turkish Government came the challenging of certain European peoples of the Balkan Hegemony of the Sultan.

Horace's Aid To Augustus In Reorganizing The National Religion, George E. Mistele

Bachelors’ Theses

The change from the democratic form of government of the Romans to the monarchy of the Caesars also brought with it a loosening of the religious bonds which had bound the people to the carrying out of their civic duties. Augustus, on ascending to the supreme power, saw at once the need of returning to the old religion which had been so powerful a factor in bringing about the rise of the republic. He determined to reorganize the Roman religion and selected Horace to aid him by presenting to the people in the pleasant guise of poetry, the virtues and …

Rebirth Of Turkish Nationalism, Douglas Counsell Moir

Bachelors’ Theses

The Turkish Nationalist movement which triumphed at Lausanne in 1922, like other historical events, had its roots extending back into the past. New conditions offered better prospects to Mustafa Kemal, than had lain before Enver, Tal’at and Javid, or before Midhat, or before Mahmud II and Selim III.

Gerstaecker's Novels Dealing With America, Dorathy Spangenberg

Bachelors’ Theses

During the first half of the eighteenth century, the new world received scant attention in the German literary field. Germans had been emigrating from time to time, but undoubtedly because of the difficulties involved in traveling, and the great distance between the two countries, there was little or no contact.

Nationalism, Louis Bernard Mountin

Bachelors’ Theses

The breaking-up of Austria Hungary and of Russia has emphasized the difference between a nation and a nationality. It has become evident that unity of racial descent does not bring about national cohesion, and that distinct racial elements may combine and form a nation of great solidarity. We also recognize that between the members of a nationality language is a firmer bond than race, although it does not necessarily coincide with national boundaries.

Law -- Rome's Greatest Gift To The World, Annette Marie Zink

Bachelors’ Theses

It is now nearly two thousand years since the curtain fell upon the last act in the history of the Roman Republic. During these twenty centuries many other republics have flourished and passed away, while, in turn, new republics have arisen to take the place of the earlier ones; but no other fallen republic in the world during the whole course of history has attained to the same degree of importance, or has exerted the same influence on the history of the world, as did that of Rome. Any adequate discussion of Roman Law necessitates a clear conception of the …

A Social And Intellectual Interpretation Of European History From The Thirteenth Century Through The Age Of Napolean, Laurence Joseph Younce

Bachelors’ Theses

One of ·the most outstanding features of this century, called by Walsh "the greatest of centuries'', is the steady decline it exhibits of the power of the Holy Roman Empire. The causes for this decline were as numerous as inexorable: there was (1) a well-nigh insuperable combination of physical difficulties in the way of effective unity, (2) a disintegrating rise of differing national consciousnesses among the component parts of the Empire, (3) the anarchic tendencies of feudalism, (4) the influence of the contemporaneous Commercial Revolution through the rise of the city states, (5) the rise of the nation states of …

Nationalism, Leon Leonard Kampine

Bachelors’ Theses

The world has cried for peace in all ages, still we find no genius or hero of this advocation. When we search for heroes or for prominent men of the past, we immediately reflect our minds upon some crisis. Washington's greatness was attained in the Revolution of the Colonies. Lincoln's success was preserving the Union. This is evidently true of the people of our country and With other countries as well. In my opinion, one of the catastrophies of human life is to be forced to settle our sincerest devot16n on the bloodshed of the past. If all the energy …

Newman As An Historian, John H. Schlosser

Bachelors’ Theses

In this thesis I am attempting to evaluate the historical · writings of John Henry, Cardinal, Newman. Most of the material herein contained may also be found in Jos. J. Reilly's excellent book, "Newman as a Man of Letters", however, I have treated some few phrases of Newman's history which that author ignores. The topic of my thesis, "Newman as an Historian", though treated at greater length by Reilly, is of merely secondary importance in his volume, consequently there are certain points, small or elementary, which the scope of that work m4de it impossible for h1m to treat. These, then, …

Lamartine, As Historian Of The French Revolution, Jane Devoy

Bachelors’ Theses

Any discussion of Lamartine as an historian necessitates a study of his political career. His "Histoire des Girondins" was the culmination of' his political career, it was the embodiment of the theories and principles which he had advocated all thru his speeches in Parliament. To understand these principles it is necessary to trace their growth from the time Lamartine entered politics. After tracing his political growth a discussion of the "Histoire des Girondins'' will show that its value lies not in its historical value but in the influence it had on the people of France.

What Did Irish Civilization Contribute To The Civilization Of Europe?, Emil A. Kuester

Bachelors’ Theses

It is with the greatest pleasure that I have attempted to answer this question. Much has been revealed that was hitherto unknown to me. I did not realize the importance of Irish civilization and its contributions to the entire world. Everywhere in Europe, it has left monumental evidence of this fact. The world does owe a debt to the Irish. Irish antiquity is the reverence of all Irish people and no small wonder when its true worth is made known. There may be many startling statements made in this thesis, but they can all be verified by sufficient evidence. Why …
