Download or read book Great Events that Changed Our Lives written by Alfredo Luis Somoza and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some events more than others have changed the pace and determined the direction that history has taken along its rugged path. Inconsistencies that are not always clearly evident occur much more frequently when the events of humanity speed up. Such was the case in the mid-twentieth century. In fact, after World War II, several historical events overlapped; new political and military balances, decolonisation, revolutionary technological advances, racial tensions, changes in the geographical economy, cultural and religious conflicts and unrelenting mass migrations. This book is dedicated to precisely those key events in our time; it uses a rich array of iconography to retrace what were to be the points of no return, the developments that would suddenly change the lives of many human beings. This book revisits the greatest events in recent history - from the Korean War that marked the beginning of the Cold War to the various revolutions of 1968, from conquering the moon to the birth of the internet, from the introduction of the Euro to the meeting for denuclearization between President Trump and the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. Reliving the events makes it easier to understand the reasons and the origins of many of the milestones of contemporary history. AUTHOR: Alfredo Luis Somoza is a journalist and anthropologist. He has written many texts concerning international politics. He has worked with Radio Popolare, Radio Vaticana, Radio Svizzera Italiana and Radio Capodistria.

Excerpt: ...In fact, the aged Isaac was put to death, and was replaced by a prince of the imperial family, Alexius Alexius Mourzoufle, who showed himself equal to the Mourxoufle emergency in which he accepted the Empire. He began by rejecting the captious propositions of the Venetians, who still offered to be satisfied with a sum of money. They would by this means have ruined him, and have rendered him hateful to the people, like his predecessor. Mourzoufle levied money, indeed; but it was to employ it in his own defence. He armed vessels, and twice endeavored to burn the enemy's fleet. The situation of the Latins became precarious. However, Mourzoufle could not create soldiers at once. The crusaders were warriors of a far different st& the Greeks could not withstand their assau

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Great Events in History, Vol. 2 Patriotism, or love of country, is one of the tests of nobility of character. No great man ever lived that was not a patriot in the highest and truest sense. From the earliest times, the sentiment of patriotism has been aroused in the hearts of men by the narrative of heroic deeds inspired by love of country and love of liberty. This truth furnishes the key to the arrangement and method of the present work. The ten epochs treated are those that have been potential in shaping subsequent events, and when men have struck blows for human liberty against odds and regardless of personal consequences. The simple narrative carries its own morals, and the most profitable work for the teacher will be to merely supplement the narrative so that the picture presented shall be all the more vivid. Moral reflections are wearisome and superfluous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
