Pompeii

This city as some people call it a city frozen in time, but this city was preserved very well. If you visit the city of Pompeii there will be casts in some places and you could be amazed by how they look and their gestures. Then if you see in the video it also talks about this city near the volcano Mt. Vesuvius and its city's name is Herculaneum. Its people were burned to death and the city was 3 KM away from the volcano. So they thought that high grounds would protect them and live through it ,but instead of protecting them it became their graves. Since Pompeii is 5 KM away then the heat has lowered to 300 degrees Fahrenheit . So that is why there casts were so well preserved and there clothes as well. In Herculaneum the first wave of heat struck at 500 degrees Fahrenheit. So as soon as the heat struck Herculaneum, the heat killed its people in and instant and vaporizing its flesh with it. In Pompeii the people were trying to run away from the 4th hit of heat and as soon as it hit it killed everyone, but saved there clothes and after they died the ashes covered them up to form a rock over them creating a cast. Now in this video they are going to explain everything and show 2 casts of how one person from Pompeii lived and what his status was and a woman from Herculaneum and they believe she was one of the rich people who lived in Herculaneum.

Bing Ma Yong (Terracotta Warriors)

They are clay statues that are made of red clay. Qin Shi Huang Di order for his terracotta warriors to be made. In preparation for his death he built a replica of his kingdom underground and he was finally laid to rest in the underground palace at its centre. It took over 720 000 people, 37 years to build. In spring 1974, a number of farmers near Xi’an (a famous Chinese cultural city) discovered some ancient bronze weapons and pieces of broken terracotta armoured warriors while sinking a well. This turned out to be one of the most amazing archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century. Excavations since then have found 1800 terracotta warriors although it is estimated that there are at least 6000 more still to be excavated. The terracotta warriors are in battle formation and include cavalry, infantry and charioteers. They are a replica of the Qin army and were created over 2200 years ago. A high level of technological skill was needed for this to be possible. This ancient society was powerful and technologically advanced.

Trinity Church

The first Trinity Church building, a modest rectangular structure with a gambrel roof and small porch, was constructed in 1698.The Bell of Hope is right outside of the church in the main entrance.The second Trinity Church was constructed in 1788. The building was weakened by severe snows during the winters of 1838 and 1839.

Hitler World War 1

                                       
At the outbreak of World War I, Hitler was a resident of Munich and volunteered to serve in the Bavarian Army as an Austrian citizen.^[53] Posted to the Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment 16 (1st Company of the List Regiment),^[54][53] he served as a dispatch runner on the Western Front in France and Belgium,^[55] spending nearly half his time well behind the front lines.^[56][57] He was present at the First Battle of Ypres, the Battle of the Somme, the Battle of Arras, and the Battle of Passchendaele, and was wounded at the Somme.^[58]

He was decorated for bravery, receiving the Iron Cross, Second Class, in 1914.^[58] Recommended by Hugo Gutmann, he received the Iron Cross, First Class, on 4 August 1918,^[59] a decoration rarely awarded to one of Hitler's rank (Gefreiter). Hitler's post at regimental headquarters, providing frequent interactions with senior officers, may have helped him receive this decoration.^[60] Though his rewarded actions may have been courageous, they were probably not highly exceptional.^[61] He received the Black Wound Badge on 18 May 1918.^[62]
During his service at the headquarters, Hitler pursued his artwork, drawing cartoons and instructions for an army newspaper. During the Battle of the Somme in October 1916, he was wounded either in the groin area^[63] or the left thigh when a shell exploded in the dispatch runners' dugout.^[64] Hitler spent almost two months in hospital at Beelitz, returning to his regiment on 5 March 1917.^[65] On 15 October 1918, he was temporarily blinded by a mustard gas attack and was hospitalised in Pasewalk.^[66] While there, Hitler learnt of Germany's defeat,^[67] and—by his own account—on receiving this news, he suffered a second bout of blindness.^[68]

Adolf Hitler as a soldier during the First World War (1914–1918)

Hitler described the war as "the greatest of all experiences", and was praised by his commanding officers for his bravery.^[69] His wartime experience reinforced his German patriotism and he was shocked by Germany's capitulation in November 1918.^]He was embittered over the collapse of the war effort, and his ideology began to take shape. Like other German nationalists, he believed in the  stab-in-the-back myth(Dolchstoßlegende), which claimed that the German army, "undefeated in the field", had been "stabbed in the back" on the home front by civilian leaders and Marxists, later dubbed the "November criminals".
The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that Germany must relinquish several of its territories and  the demilitarise Rhineland . The treaty imposed economic sanctions and levied heavy reparations on the country. Many Germans perceived the treaty—especially Article 231, which declared Germany responsible for the war—as a humiliation. The Versailles Treaty and the economic, social, and political conditions in Germany after the war were later exploited by Hitler for political gains.

The Battle Of Gettysburg

^{The battle of  Gettysburg was like the wars turning point.}
Elements of the two armies initially collided at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863, as Lee urgently concentrated his forces there, his objective being to engage the Union army and destroy it. Low ridges to the northwest of town were defended initially by a Union cavalry division under Brig. Gen. John Buford, and soon reinforced with two corps of Union infantry. However, two large Confederate corps assaulted them from the northwest and north, collapsing the hastily developed Union lines, sending the defenders retreating through the streets of town to the hills just to the south.
On the second day of battle, most of both armies had assembled. The Union line was laid out in a defensive formation resembling a fishhook. In the late afternoon of July 2, Lee launched a heavy assault on the Union left flank, and fierce fighting raged at Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, Devil's Den, and the Peach Orchard. On the Union right, Confederate demonstrations escalated into full-scale assaults on Culp's Hill and Cemetery Hill. All across the battlefield, despite significant losses, the Union defenders held their lines.
On the third day of battle, July 3, fighting resumed on Culp's Hill, and cavalry battles raged to the east and south, but the main event was a dramatic infantry assault by 12,500 Confederates against the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge, known as Pickett's Charge. The charge was repulsed by Union rifle and artillery fire, at great losses to the Confederate army.
Lee led his army on a torturous retreat back to Virginia. Between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers from both armies were casualties in the three-day battle.
On November 19, President Lincoln used the dedication ceremony for the Gettysburg National Cemetery to honor the fallen Union soldiers and redefine the purpose of the war in his historic Gettysburg.

                                                                      

The Civil War

^{The Civil War was a war about slavery. Slavery was an issue between the South and the North because the South wanted slavery ,but the North didnt want any slavery at all. So war broke out in 1860.}

Visit To Philadelphia

                                                                        

 On May 23 and 24, 2013 I visited Philadelphia and I had fun. I learned lots of things like how to fire a  Musket and I've also learned that how this country came to be. I also went to visit Ben Franklin's Print shop and his grave. I also visited the U.S Mint and learned how they create the coins of the U.S. They also showed us how Ben Frank made the printing press. We also went to visit the Franklin Institute. I saw the 2 tons or 3 tons 20 or 21 feet tall marble Benjamin Franklin statue. I also got the copy of the Declaration Of Independence. Also for souvenir I bought those old fashioned pens where you dip a feather's point in a tiny jar of ink.
