World War I

1920-1945 in France After the First World War, France was in a deplorable state, its richness is deeply undermined and the whole French social and political society collapsed. The era between 1920 and 1945 amounts the rehabilitation’s period and the Second World War.

SLAVERY I would like to make a few comments concerning slavery in America. Slavery in America seems to be a form of unfree labor intended to humble the slave but unfortunately that’s right. I’ve read recently that according to the law, slave owners could be fined for not punishing recaptured runaway slaves. We also punish the slaves if the wanted work is slow.

scenic island in the far reaches of the English Channel that found itself in Hitler’s crosshairs in World War II. Guernsey was occupied by some 15,000 German troops between 1940 and 1945, and fortified so ferociously it was virtually impregnable. “You can’t go more than 3 miles without seeing a bunker,’’ said John O’Neill, a Guernsey photojournalist. But the Germans left in a hurry when the war ended, abandoning their estimated 700 bunkers and everything in them. Since they’re probably there for

Terrorism Justly Michael Walzer Abstract This article is about the war on terror as an actual war and as police work – and then as something in between these two. The in-between space, where special forces operate, is critically important. We don’t have clear standards that apply to it, and we need to begin to think about what those standards might look like. Keywords: assassination, Elshtain, jus in bello, just war, peace, war on terror In 2002 Jean Bethke Elshtain wrote a book (published in
