Partition of Bengal Presented by Mirza HusnainMirza Husnain
?
The document summarizes the Partition of Bengal in 1905 by the British Viceroy Lord Curzon. It discusses the political and economic reasons behind the partition, including weakening Bengali nationalism and instituting a divide and rule policy between Hindus and Muslims. The partition led to widespread protests through non-violent movements promoting Swadeshi goods and boycotting British products. However, the British government cracked down on protesters through arrests and jailings. Ultimately, the partition had the opposite effect by uniting Indians and strengthening the national independence movement.
The document discusses the Spanish Inquisition which began in 1478 and lasted until 1834. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella established the Inquisition to maintain Catholicism in Spain and inspect the genuineness of conversions after Jews and Muslims had decided to convert to Christianity to escape persecution in previous years. The Inquisition used methods like censorship, torture, and burning people at the stake to establish political and religious unity as well as weaken the monarchy's opponents and do away with power of religious minorities.
May 3 National Holiday (also May 3rd Constitution Day; Polish: ?wi?to Konstytucji 3 Maja) is a Polish national and public holiday that takes place on May 3. The holiday celebrates the declaration of the Constitution of May 3, 1791. Festivities date back to the Duchy of Warsaw early in the 19th century, but it became an official holiday only in 1919 in the Second Polish Republic. Delisted during the times of the People's Republic of Poland, it was reestablished after the fall of communism in modern Poland.
Henry VIII was originally Catholic but wanted to divorce his first wife Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn after Catherine only produced a daughter. The Pope would not grant an annulment so the English Parliament passed the Acts of Supremacy that made Henry, not the Pope, head of the Church in England allowing the annulment. Those who denied the King's supremacy like Sir Thomas More were executed for treason. After Henry's death, his children took the throne with differing views on religion that led to instability and violence in England.
The Two Nation Theory argues that Muslims and Hindus in British India constituted two distinct nations and should have independent homelands. It cites religious, cultural, social, economic, educational, political, and linguistic differences between Hindus and Muslims that made them distinct nations, despite living in the same lands. The theory formed the basis for the creation of Pakistan as a homeland for Muslims after the partition of British India in 1947.
Martin Luther was a German monk who sparked the Protestant Reformation. In 1517, he nailed his 95 Theses criticizing Catholic Church practices like selling indulgences to the Wittenberg Castle church door. This disputed the Church's authority and doctrine of salvation by faith alone versus works. As his writings spread and followers grew, Luther was excommunicated in 1521. He refused to recant his beliefs at the Diet of Worms and went into hiding as he translated the Bible to German. Luther emerged to organize the new Lutheran Church and attracted many followers across Germany and the world.

?
During Andrew Jackson's presidency from 1829 to 1837, several notable political and economic changes occurred:
1. Jackson expanded voting rights to allow all white men to vote, regardless of property ownership. However, women and African Americans were still excluded.
2. Jackson believed it was America's destiny to move westward.
3. A new political party, the Democratic Party, was formed under Jackson after the previous parties disbanded.
4. Economically, Jackson paid off the national debt but a later depression increased it again. He also worked to abolish the national bank, seeing it as favoring northeastern states.
Het mythische beeld van 'le roi triste' strookt totaal niet met wie koning Boudewijn echt was. Dat staat te lezen in een nieuwe en explosieve biografie over de vorst die (in 2018) 25 jaar geleden op 62-jarige leeftijd overleed. Een kroniek van haat, wraak en een aangekondigde dood
The document is a student essay analyzing accounts of the Boston Massacre from 1770 by Captain Preston and Robert Goddard. While their accounts differ in some details, they describe the same overall events: angry colonists gathered and threw objects at British soldiers, shots were fired into the crowd, and the soldiers then opened fire, dispersing the crowd. The essay examines inconsistencies in the accounts but concludes the basic facts are agreed upon - rising tensions led to a clash that was inevitable given the political situation in the colonies.
