In What Ways Were the Romans Heirs to the Greek Civilization?

Introduction
There is a consensus among scholars that the major influences of the Roman culture were the Greeks. Among the major proponents for this theory are authors, Roy Matthews, Dewitt Platt and Thomas Noble; and the renowned historian, Eugen Weber. In their book, ‘The Western Humanities, Volume 1: Beginnings through the Renaissance,’ Matthews, Platt and Noble developed the idea that Western culture, which developed from the Romans, was actually a product of the Hellenistic culture that dominated the Mediterranean region in the past (Matthews, Platt, & Noble, 2010). Similarly, in his video instructional series, ‘The Western Tradition,’ Eugen Weber presented ...

Back in 2011, a wave of peaceful and violent protests swept across the Arab world. These protests later came to be referred to as the Arab Spring (Haerens and Zott 5). The civil protests began in Tunisia when a fruit vendor burned himself in front of a government building (Haerens and Zott 2). These civilian uprisings led to the eviction of rulers from power in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Yemen (McCaffrey 5). However, the reception of the Arab Uprising varied from country to country. In some countries the uprisings were met with violent opposition from the government while in ...

Influence of Britain and Australia on Middle East during the Great War

The Great War, or the World War I, saw its end in 1918, but even after 86 years, there is no end in sight to the violence that it triggered. The end of the War influenced and shaped our modern world to an extent like none else. Although the reflection of today’s development, as a whole, traces its route back to the decisions taken during and post-World War I, the one place where the violent results still echo is Middle East.

Starting from autumn of 2013, Ukraine has been a center of an escalating war conflict: starting with peaceful demonstrations in support of Ukraine joining the European Union, to more than one hundred protesters being monstrously killed by the law-enforcers, to Russia invading Crimea and then developing the still-continuing conflict in the east of Ukraine. But what are the reasons of this bloodcurdling incubus born by a supposedly friendly neighbor of once peaceful and promising Ukraine? There are a lot of them, but both in the reasons and the causes Russian government is to blame: it’s them who occupied the territory of ...

International politics/relations

In his article “Russia's Latest Land Grab: How Putin Won Crimea and Lost Ukraine” Jeffrey Mankoff states that Russia interrupts political uncertainty of former socialistic countries justifying it with protection of Russian national minorities on these territories. According to the author, in this way Kremlin is able to maintain influence on post-Soviet countries. After dissolution of Soviet Union many of these countries have directed their policy on European integration not willing to play under Kremlin rules. Russia was playing a restrictive role in each case, except the Baltic countries.

Therefore, the Arabian empire developed and promoted important cultural and artistic work of the

The rise of Islam

Not only the pre-Islamic beliefs contributed to the rise of Islam, but also it is worth mentioning the influence of Judaism. Arabia was the home to many adherents of Judaism, thus Jewish merchants spread their beliefs all across the trade routes. Furthermore, Christianity also influenced the establishment of Islamic religion, even though to a lesser degree. Interestingly, a significant number of Arab tribes to the north of the Arabian Peninsula were christianized. Obviously, the perception of Christianity was different. It was associated with the dual interpretation of Christ, namely he was known as the prophet Isa, in other words ...

Introduction

Much of contemporary studies on the Middle East bear strong connections with the Islamic religion, which pervades throughout the entirety of the region due to the historical prevalence of the doctrines preached by the prophet Muhammad. Yet, it is also noteworthy to recognize the fact that the Middle East has also flourished as a region without the influences of Muhammad – that is, the period before the birth and activity of Muhammad has also involved notable points of study. Hence, this particular story focuses on this key question: how was the Middle East before Muhammad existed? A perusal of relevant literature provides ...

Beginning after the First World War, and on into the later half of the 20th century, the United States and the Soviet Union were locked in a state of political, economic, and military tension known as the Cold War. These tensions, primarily divided between sentiments of eastern collectivist communism and western individualist capitalist system, had a profound impact on not only the policies of these governments, but also the operations of other nations as well. As other parts of the world were reorganized after the fallout of World War II, their systems became largely implanted with the desires of ...

War historians consider it appropriate to refer to the Korean War as the ‘Unknown War’ or ‘Forgotten War’. This in essence due to that fact that up until the collapse of the USSR and subsequent declassification of Soviet documents on the war, the events leading to the conflict were largely shrouded in mystery. On the 25th of June, 1950, the North Korean military attacked South Korea and as such, varying motivations for the war led many countries to support either the North or South. This may shed more light as to the underlying causes of the war and more ...

MAYAN ARCHITECTURE: PRE-CLASSICAL PERIOD TO THE FALL

- Introduction
The Maya people were a people who flourished in Meso-America-- notably the Yucatan peninsula-- prior to the arrival of the conquistadors from Europe. The Mayan people were already in decline when the Europeans arrived, but the European invasion of the Meso-Americas was very devastating for what remained of Mayan culture. As a result of this devastation, the art and architecture of the high classical Maya was lost for a number of years; it was swallowed up by the jungle, only to be later reclaimed and studied extensively.
The Maya are often a source of fascination, as the reasons for ...

Before the age of Mohammed Muslims said that their people lived in the age of ignorance and the Arabian Peninsula was an archaic place that housed a myriad of religions and cultures – some sort of political wasteland (Basif, 2013). The Bedouins were the nomads that occupied the peninsula and provided the backbone for the social atmosphere. They were skilled travellers and controlled the commercial networks. While the peninsula housed a lot of towns and cities, Mecca stood out from them all. It was not a major trading city or a crossroad to one but it stood near an oasis marked by a black cube. ...

For nearly seven decades global foreign policy and international relations has been concerned with conflict between the government of the State of Israel and the Arab inhabitants of its surrounding neighbors as well as the ancestral Jewish homeland itself.

In order to define ‘economic development’, I have looked into the literature on the subject to subsidize my answer. I have looked particularly into the works of Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016) and Rahnama-Moghadam, Samavati, & Dilts (1995).
Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016, p. 205) indicate that the term less developed country (LDC) fosters images of backwardness, poverty, and lower levels of technological sophistication. They claim there is some truth in these images but, nonetheless, there is a broad range of countries that are correctly described as being less developed. One country has not reached the known levels of financial well-being that ...

Abstract

The strong abilities of Romans to manipulate their physical environment via the development and use of strong military forces has led them to acquire several tracts of land across Europe, with its end as the Roman Empire having become memorable in scholarly works due to its sheer expanse.
