Paper Abstract:
Discusses his four most significant battles. The strategies he employed that made each battle a success, and secured his place in history of a great military leader. The use of his army to establish his kingdom. His inspirational leadership and conception of strategy and tactics. Examines each battle. Alexander the Great as a role model for war.
Paper Introduction:
This paper discusses the four most significant battles fought by Alexander the Great: Granicus, Issus, Gaugamela, and Hydaspes. It examines the strategies he employed that made each a success and that have secured his place in history as one of the greatest military leaders of all time.
Philip, king of Macedon, became a father in the summer of 356 B.C. Barely 20 years later, Philip was assassinated, and his son, Alexander, assumed the throne and inherited the kingdom and army of his father. In the twelve years of his reign, until his death in 323 B.C., he used that army to establish a kingdom, utilizing strategies and tactics that gave him the name of Alexander the Great.
Richard A. Gabriel and Donald W. Boose Jr. write, “There is little in Alexander’s early life that presaged his ability to plan and execute battles with such success . . . Alexander of Macedon turned to the task with a natural gift” (218). He also had the advantage of being given a remarkable army. Doyne Dawson argues that Alexander, like Julius Caesar, “only sought decisive battle when they knew they had strong armies”

Paper Abstract:
Compares Athens and Sparta. Distinct cultural makeup of each. Both cities as military and political rivals. Sparta's ideological and social emphasis on militarism. Athens' focus on a sophisticated, democratic system of governance and trade. Stoic, frugal Spartan social system. Athens as the model democratic city-state of the Hellenistic world with economic and philosophical dominance.
Paper Introduction:
Greek City-States
Athens & Sparta
Greek city-states were loosely aligned but fairly distinct in terms of cultural makeup. This was true in terms of military, political, economic and social structures. In ancient civilization, “Athens...was the most important Greek city-state” (Athens, 2003, 1). Unlike Sparta, Athens would survive military defeat and create a thriving city-state whose political structures would influence all of Europe. As one historian notes, “Sparta was in many regards the opposite pole of Athens from a cultural perspective” (Culture, 2003, 1). If we make a comparison and contrast of Athens and Sparta, despite their

Paper Introduction:
GEORGE W. BUSH AS PRESIDENTIAL LEADER
This research paper examines the capacity and skills of President George W. Bush (Bush) for leading the United States effectively during the crisis created by the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington and related threats. Prior to the occurrence of the events of September 11, 2001, the extent of Bush's Presidential leadership potential was very much in doubt owing in large part to the public perception of him created during the recent presidential electoral campaign, the post-election dispute and Bush's performance during his first eight months in office. After a somewhat shaky start, Bush responded well to the crisis of September 11 and displayed many of the skills and characteristics of an effective President in dealing with the threat of

Paper Abstract:
Discusses anti-democratic factors. Democratic ethos. Issue of national self-determination. Fear of imperialist domination by the Central Powers. Policital process; lack of political participation. Impact of European anarchists. Impetus towards war of policy makers. Attack-based war strategy. Democratic sttes resistance to military action. Democratic nation-state equivocation. Power policitcs. Gamesmanship of Britain and Europe.
Paper Introduction:
One of the most easily made arguments in favor of the view that World War I could have been avoided if all belligerents were democracies is the historical record: It was not, and they were not, and those facts help explain why the war came about. This was a period in which democracy had not exactly won the war of ideas among Europe's rulers or the institutions of European governance. It has also been said that communism, the antidemocratic ideology that supplanted absolute monarchy in Europe where constitutional democracies did not and that survived the Great War for most of the 20th century, nevertheless itself eventually fell to "the superior strength of a rival body of ideas, free-market democracy, which was powerful enough to hold together the 16 countries of the West's alliance through all the alarm

Conflicts between Congress and President Johnson. Cause of his impeachment as based in the political struggles between conservatives & radicals. Implications of Johnson's Presidency on the principle of the separation-of-powers.
Paper Introduction:
THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD AMERICAN PRESIDENT: ANDREW JOHNSON
Most people, if they know anything at all about Andrew Johnson, know he was the first American President ever to be impeached, and that he missed it by only a single vote. In fact, the two books used for reference here, picture Johnson similarly, in lots of ways. First of all, it would have been nearly impossible for anyone to successfully follow the appeal of the martyred Lincoln. Yet, he was not at all like Lincoln- not in personality, in attitude, nor in his devotion to a strict interpretation of the Constitution. In fact, he seemed to be not so much for the slaves as he was against their masters. “He had become an advocate of the small farmers against the privileges of the large planters. He also shared the racial attitudes of most white yeomen. ‘Damn the Negroes,’ he exclaimed to a friend

Classic notion of value of physical development. Belief that athletics had religious, cultural and practical significance. Link to wisdom and virtue. Athletic training as an important feature of Greek culture and identity. The Olympic Games. Fitness of soldiers and sailors for war as an objective of physical education. Ideas of Plato and Aristotle.
Paper Introduction:
It is a commonplace of historiography that ancient Greece provided models of intellectual and political experience that are familiar to modern Western culture. But the iconography of the ancient world is not dominated by representations of philosophers or of city-state assemblies. It is entirely possible that, asked to select a single image representative of Golden Age Athens, many would settle on a piece of decorated pottery or sculpture portraying a discus thrower or chariot racer in action. Indeed, the ancient-era Olympic Games survived myriad ancient wars and "occupied such an important place in Greek life that time was measured by the interval between them--an Olympiad" (Abrahams).
For the Greeks, athletics had religious and cultural as well as practical significance, which helps explain why the poetr

Paper Abstract:
Ancient Greek historian's political theory. "On Justice, Power, and Human Nature." Contrast governance and political style in his analysis of Athens with Sparta. Athens as cultured and learned. Democracy as its political forum. Sparta as austere, militaristic and practical. Athens reliance on naval power and Sparta on land power.
Paper Introduction:
To contrast Athens with Sparta is to contrast theories of governance with political style. That is the major lesson to be drawn from Thucydides. The reputation of Athens is that it was cultured and learned, willing to expose itself to other peoples, compared to Sparta's austerity and militarist form of social organization. The Speech of the Corinthians of the Debate at Sparta implicitly valorizes Athens when observing that Lacedaemonian insularity "makes you rather ignorant in foreign affairs" (Thucydides 17). Athens made a project of inserting itself into foreign affairs. Its naval mobility empowered it to extend its conquests to a variety of distant places to engage in wealth-building trade and to absorb cultural lessons from abroad--and collect tribute.
Tribute-paying city-states around the Aegean would be prote

Paper Abstract:
Eastern and western empire. Extent of the fall of the western Roman empire. Divisions in the Latin west and Greek east. Consequences of civil and administrative restructuring. Concentration of power and jurisdiction in the executive. Response of the eastern empire to the conquest patterns of Islam. Role of Christianity. Authority of the Pope.
Paper Introduction:
This research examines whether and to what extent the Western Roman Empire can be said to have "fallen" over the course of the third to fifth centuries AD and how the West fared vis-à-vis the Eastern Empire over the same period. The research will discuss how the Eastern Empire responded to the conquest patterns of Islam from the seventh century onward, as well as the role of Christianity in the fate of both the East and the West.
Gibbon's narrative of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire begins essentially from the death of the last of the so-called five good emperors, Marcus Aurelius, in AD 180. Gibbon goes on to provide the precarious histories of a number of emperors, some good, most bad--and almost all assassinated. But under Diocletian, Rome in AD 286 underwent a civil and administrative restructuring that had major long-term conse

Paper Abstract:
Examines controversy surrounding the murder of John F. Kennedy. Unresolved issues. Differing assessments of the case. View of the 1964 Warren Commission Report (WCR). Oswald as lone killer versus a conspiracy. Official facts of the JFK shooting. Investigation by New Orleans District Attorney James Garrison; CIA involvement. Investigation and theories of attorney Mark Lane.
Paper Introduction:
This research examines the controversy surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. The research will set forth issue fronts that emerged at the time of the incident and that have persisted unresolved since that time, and then discuss how and why such dramatically divergent assessments of the assassination have formed, with a view toward identifying which assessment has the most credence.
The murder of JFK in Dallas fostered intense national desire to assign blame for the crime and bring those responsible to justice. One view of the assassination was articulated in detail in the 1964 Warren Commission Report (WCR) published pursuant to Executive Order No. 11130 of November 29, 1963, that "all the facts and circumstances surrounding the assassination and the subsequent killing of the alleged assassin" be evaluated.

Paper Abstract:
How two ancient historians presented historical events. Approach of Thucydides in his "History of the Peloponnesian War" to draw upon oral history and cultural myths such as the Trojan War. Concerns of tacitus in the "Agricola" and the "Germania," with providing evidence of a particular political and ideological orientation. Unique insights offered by each historian.
Paper Introduction:
What is the "proper" approach to writing about history? The perspectives of two ancient historians, Thucydides the Athenian and Cornelius Tacitus the Roman, offer us the opportunity to learn from how they presented historical events and the manner in which they did so. While objectivity, lack of personal bias, extensive reliance on source documents, personal interviews, and even first-hand experience of events and knowledge of event-shapers are all valuable qualities in an historian's work, they are not absolute necessities. Thucydides, in his History of the Peloponnesian War, draws upon oral historical traditions and cultural myths to describe such remote events as the Trojan War, and on the speeches he attributes to some of his contemporaries in the war between Athens and Sparta. Tacitus, in the Agricola and the Germania, seems to be more concerned with providing "evidence" of a

Paper Introduction:
We know much about Athenian society from the writings of historians and others about that era and about political leaders of that city like Pericles. Pericles was featured in writings by Thucydides, notably his history of the Peloponnesian War, and later by the Roman Plutarch.
Pericles was born into two of the best families of Athens, both on his father's and mother's side. He received a good education from his teachers, including the philosopher Zeno, and from Zeno he learned the sophistry that many believed made it possible for Zeno to prove any proposition to be false. Pericles learned even more from Anaxagoras. Anaxagoras was the first philosopher to attribute the order of the world to intelligence, rather than to chance or necessity. After this education, Pericles was dignified in his language and serene and

Paper Introduction:
ALEXANDER THE GREAT: THE MAN AND HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS
This research paper summarizes and evaluates Alexander the Great's skills and accomplishments as a military leader and his shortcomings as well as the political gifts which formed part of his complex personality. Alexander (356-323 B.C.) earned the title the Great primarily because of his remarkable military exploits. His accomplishments as a ruler proved to be largely transitory. His lasting legacy was the preservation and spread of Hellenistic culture which his conquests made possible, but which never ran very deep in Persia and regions further to the East.
A king at 19 and dead of fever at 33, Alexander in a relatively brief span of time conquered most of the then known world, often in the face of insuperable odds, during the course of campaigns which involved arduous marches over 17,000 miles. He was ab

Paper Introduction:
War is a devastating human activity, one that decimates populations, destroys property, and alters political and social structures for both victor and vanquished. The history of mankind has been a history of warfare to a great extent, and few civilizations have been able to avoid war for long. At certain points in history war has been aggrandized as a glorious effort to promote a social or political agenda, while at other times society has frowned on war and has resorted to it only when all else fails. The world of ancient Greece produced some of the most important philosophical concepts in human history, ideas that have continued to prevail to this day. Yet, the Greeks as well were subject to war both with outside forces and among themselves. An example of the latter was the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, an event that had major consequences for the development

Paper Abstract:
Reviews the history & development of the Roman Empire. Primarily discusses Roman military, political, & cultural institutions.
Paper Introduction:
Ancient Rome developed from a small prehistoric settlement on the Tiber River in Latium in central Italy into an empire that encompassed all of the Mediterranean world. The history of Rome can be divided into three major epochs: the kingship from the legendary foundation of Rome to 509 BC; the republic from 509 BC to 31 BC; and the empire, which survived until Rome finally fell to the German chieftain Odoacer in AD 476. The genius of the Romans lay in the military, in government administration, and in the law, and they valued crafty diplomacy as much as military discipline. The Romans conquered Greece, adopting Greek culture and transmitting it to the medieval world. Unlike the Greeks, they did not develop a philosophical theory of state and society. Instead, they were the practitioners of power and law, and Roman civil law, which reached its peak under the emperors, excelled in preci

Paper Abstract:
Overview of the rise & decline of the Byzantine Empire, the first Christian Empire. Discusses rulership of Constantine & Justinian. Also describes church architecture & symbolic purposes.
Paper Introduction:
The first Christian Empire in the world was that of the Byzantine Empire founded by Constantine in 330 A.D. The Byzantine Empire started with the division of the Roman empire into East and West factions, with the eastern provinces becoming the Byzantine Empire. When the Roman Emperor Constantine was converted to Christianity, he moved the governing center from Rome to the city of Byzantium, made Christianity the state religion, and created a state that had a profound effect on the social life and outlook of the people. The first moves toward splitting up the Roman Empire had been made by Constantine's uncle, the Emperor Diocletian, who thought that the problems with the empire were related to having too much territory to the east and north out of direct control (Wenzel, 1965: pp. 11-13). The separation did not take place immediately but over a generation or so and would last for more

Paper Abstract:
Examines section of Xenephon's "Oeconomicus" from 4th Cent. B.C. & its depiction of Greek economy, society & household management.
Paper Introduction:
In the document "The Education of a Wife," the economy is analyzed, and by economy is meant the successful management of a household in all of its aspects. This document therefore says much about daily life in the fourth century BC. The text is from the Oeconomicus of Xenephon and makes use of the Socratic dialogue, as did Plato.
The Socratic dialogue as depicted hee always suggests a streetcorner discussion between the philosopher and a group of followers, creating an image of Athens and so of a settled social order.
Part of that social order is the domestic household. Running the household is the purview of the wife, and the male, Ischomachus, here says he does not have to stay home because his wife is perfectly capable of taking care of the home. She is

Paper Introduction:
RES GESTAE OF AUGUSTUS
This research paper discusses and analyzes the posthumous Res Gestae, or account of his stewardship in office, left by the Emperor Caesar Augustus (B.C. 63-A.D. 14). The Res Gestae, like most political autobiographies, is deficient in that it is subjective and self-serving. It recounts those facets of his long period of rule which Augustus wished to emphasize and the world to remember while omitting or distorting others. On the other hand, it is a remarkable historical document, not only because it clearly conveys the principal accomplishments of the Augustan era, but also because it captures the essence of Augustus' unique approach to governance and the benevolence of his despotic rule which largely responded to the needs of the Roman Empire and its people.

Paper Introduction:
WORSHIP OF THE EARLY CAESARS AS DIVINITIES
This research paper discusses the origins, evolution and underlying reasons for the system of imperial worship which developed under the early Roman Caesars, Julius Caesar (b. B.C. 100, d. B.C. 44), Augustus Caesar (b. B.C. 63, d. A.D. 14) and Tiberius (b. B.C. 42, d. A.D. 37). Belief in the divinity of a Roman ruler first seriously developed during Julius Caesar's brief reign as dictator, primarily as an accoutrement of his rapidly accumulating and increasingly unrestricted power. The beginnings of a cult of emperor worship were cut short by his assassination, but its foundations were broadened by his deification during the succession struggle which followed. After he prevailed over his rivals for power, Octavian (later named Augustus) cleverly channelled the impulse toward emperor worship

Paper Abstract:
Compares ancient historians' approach to their subjects, styles, biases, narratives.
Paper Introduction:
The Greeks invented history as it would develop in Western thought, and different early historians approached the issue of history in different ways. The approach taken often depended on whether they were eyewitnesses or reporting what others told them, on their skill as writers, and on whether they offer judgments about the history they recount or only tell the stories as they know them. Thucydides wrote about the Peloponnesian War and its consequences in a way that would speak to future generations, and he did so from the point of view of an eyewitness and participant. Tacitus examined history in terms of individuals and groups, offering as much cultural as historical analysis, and reporting on people he knew, letting them tell their own stories through him.
The Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta was an

Paper Abstract:
Examines historical significance of ancient Babylonian ruler & the Code which established & defined social & economic relations.
Paper Introduction:
This research will examine the historical importance of the Babylonian ruler Hammurabi, with special reference to the Code of Hammurabi. The research will set forth the historical and cultural context in which the Code emerged and discuss why it remains of decisive importance and relevance to the modern period in general and to the shape of modern Western civilization in particular.
Core postulates of Western culture encourage knowledge of the universe, an impulse toward certainty about the position of people in the universe, and implications of that position. While the cultural divide between Western thought as articulated in and by ancient Greek civilization and the thought and praxis of the ancient civilizations preceding that of Greece seems clear, something approaching a postulate of a knowable cosmos also can be di

Paper Abstract:
Compares selected chapters to show similarities of style, content, reliability, focusing on depiction of plague.
Paper Introduction:
A comparison of Book II, chapters xxii and xxiii of Procopius' History of the Wars with Book II, chapter v of Thucydides' Peloponnesian War demonstrates the influence the classical historian had on the Byzantine writer. The episodes of plague that attacked Athens and Byzantium are constructed in nearly identical fashion. Both provide extensive descriptions of the course of the disease: its geographic origins, symptoms, variations, and effects. Both establish themselves as eyewitnesses to most of the things they report. And both writers reflect on topics such as the futile efforts of the physicians and the effect of the plague on general morality, but leave it to others to explain the reasons why the terrible disease arose in the first place. Thucydides' account clearly provided a model for Procopius. But the resemblance between the two historians is

Paper Abstract:
Examines works on necessity of limits on human intelligence & power.
Paper Introduction:
In three works that contemplate the question of the necessity of limits on human intelligence, the issue revolves around the notion of humanity exceeding its limits and, thereby, offending or challenging the gods. The question asked by Aeschylus in Prometheus Bound, by Mary Shelley in Frankenstein, and by Daniel Defoe in Robinson Crusoe is whether there is some inherent limit on human ability--a point beyond which humanity should not go. Does human technology, the various products of human intelligence, reach a point at which it is beyond the ability of mere mortals to control it? Though the question was phrased in very different ways, all three authors agreed that there was a limit to human intelligence and that such a limit was a necessity. Why it is a necessity was, however, answered quite differently by the three writers.

Paper Abstract:
Examines influence of religion on politics from 478 B.C.to 399 B.C. during Peloponnesian War between Athens & Sparta.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of religion on politics from 478 to 399 B.C., the period of the Peloponnesian War in Greece between Athens and Sparta. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which religion intersected with Athenian public policy during that period and then to discuss specific features of such policy that reflect or that seem predicated of religious praxis or belief.
The principal historical point to be derived from the course of the Peloponnesian War is that by the time it ended, the political hegemony and leading cultural status of Athens were by and large in the past, absorbed by the ethos and governmental form of Sparta. But the war depleted both Athens and Sparta and ended the Golden Age of Greece. It cannot be said that religious belief and worship somehow "caused" the decline of Gr

Paper Abstract:
Compares two biographies of Julius Caesar & biases & aims of authors.
Paper Introduction:
Biography is an art rather than a science, and it is influenced by the attitudes of the historian writing the biography, the limits of his or her knowledge of the subject, the evidence that has been amassed, and often by political considerations which might shape how a figure is depicted. Different pictures of a figure can emerge from different biographies for these and other reasons. Two biographies of Julius Caesar from the classical era show different views of the Roman leader, that of Plutarch in his Lives and of Suetonius in The Lives of the Twelve Caesars.
In the Roman era, much of Greek literature and culture was either adopted or held up as an example even though the Romans had a different worldview in many ways. The gods of Greece were carried over into the Roman pantheon, though the names and some

Paper Abstract:
Sources, development & codification of law from 500 B.C. to 284 A.D.
Paper Introduction:
Scholars conventionally treat the development of Roman law as having undergone three major phases: the Republic, the Principate, and the Dominate. The Republic (510 B.C.) represented the birth of codification and legal thought, and a period of limited direct participation by the people in the lawmaking process. Under the Principate (27 B.C.), the participation of the people was all but eliminated, in favor of the emperor’s control over most of the state machinery. While the Principate emperors’ absolutism was disguised behind a facade of Republicanism, the Dominate period (284 A.D.) saw no attempts to hide the fact of imperial totalitarianism.
The early Roman Republic was characterized by the “Struggle of the Orders,” an ongoing cleavage between patricians and plebeians. Patricians enjoyed numerous advantages over plebeians,

Paper Abstract:
Life, career & character of 1st Cent. Roman emperor, based on chapter from Suetonius's [The Twelve Caesars].
Paper Introduction:
NERO (37-68 A.D.)
This essay reviews the translation of Robert Graves, as revised by Michael Grant, of Suetonius' chapter on Nero, the last Caesarean Emperor. It portrays Nero as a man and a ruler who is so beset and eventually overcome by his personal insecurities and his vices that he became a bloodthirsty, paranoid and ineffective tyrant whose downfall after a short reign of 14 years between the ages of 17 and 31 came about because he was universally detested. The author's narrative style is compelling and revealing of stark reality. His treatment of his subject was advanced for his times because most contemporary historians tended to eulogize their rulers or deal with them superficially. However, the book may fall short of being a comprehensive and accurate analysis of Nero and his times in that it fails to offer a comprehensive

Paper Abstract:
Overview of developments in politics, economics, religion, culture, world views; focuses on Roman Empire & Christianity.
Paper Introduction:
Change in Europe: 200 to 800 AD
This paper will discuss the driving force of change in Europe from 200 to 800 AD. The main emphasis of this paper will be that change was the most significant force in Europe during this time period, rather than continuity.
In 200 AD, the Roman Empire had reached its zenith in terms of geographical area. In the south, Roman influence and control extended to the southern regions of what is now Algeria. In the east, the garrison town at Dura-Europos overlooked the Euphrates River. And in the north, the Roman army had established an outpost in Scotland. These outlying points marked the vague boundaries of the Empire, and the furthest reaches of Roman culture. Roman culture and society defined the world within these boundaries (Brown 11-12).

Paper Abstract:
Analyzes ancient civilizations' maintenance of elite class, social hierarchy, gender inequality, status quo.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine ways in which the Babylonian, Israelite, and Greek states maintained a condition of inequality and assured the persistence and protection of an elite class. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context for exploring the class systems of the ancient world and then to discuss the approaches that each society took to the project of preserving the social status quo, with a view toward suggesting the impact on ancient social practices on societies of subsequent historical periods.
The social order of Babylonia was derived from the Hammurabi Code, which was detailed and hierarchical in nature and which provided a rule of law in a well-defined class system. According to Pfeiffer, Babylonian society comprised three social classes. The awelum was the aristocratic class, comprising businessmen, feuda
