Native American History

The antiquity of Native American bounces back hundreds of years ago till the extant. The aboriginal inhabitants left their mark in many climates and tribes in the form of ethnicities, relic's and registers made by the white voyagers. When European explorers set foot on American soil and had dealings with the tribes of now Peru, Canada and Mexico is what marks the beginning of Native American history. Their history is all about the tribes and the cities they built and sustained on fishing, hunting and fruits. They used urbane form of trade and the later generations of the tribes also used money. Most of the tribes were hoarders and hunters and desired to keep their ways. The tribes battled among themselves for superiority but amalgamated the captured tribes into their erudite political system which consisted of leading a number of small lands and creating governmental frames. The tribes forgot their mutual enmities and stood one against the European settlers. However there were many tribes who sided the British just to avenge their rival tribes. At the time of French and Indian War, the tribes fought for French or British based on the side which their enemy tribe was. The history of Native America is full of such coalitions and conflicts. This eBook discusses the ways of the Native American tribes. Their struggle for a decent life, their fight against the deadly diseases and their position in the society of today.

Native American Games: The History and Legacy of the Different Sports Played by Indigenous Groups ac

Athletics in Central and North American societies go much further back than most people realize. The native peoples took their sports just as seriously as any of today’s most fervent soccer fans. One major difference between modern sports and these aboriginal games is that the native people's sports often had strong religious content, and games were sometimes seen as literal substitutes for war, played to resolve disputes between towns or tribes. The sport that archaeologists call the Mesoamerican ballgame, best known from the ancient Maya and the more recent Aztecs, has a 3,000-year history. It’s probably the most ancient sport in the world and lasted far longer than the Olympics of Greece and Rome. It spread from the mysterious Olmecs of the Mexican Gulf Coast to as far north as the American Southwest and perhaps as far as Colombia in South America. A much milder form is still played in several places in Mexico. Players of the game used a rubber ball thousands of years before the Europeans were aware that something like rubber existed. The ball was extremely heavy, and an errant hit could seriously injure a player. In its classic form, the ballgame was both recreation and literally deadly serious. Teams of two to four players competed, and the captain of the losing team was sometimes immediately decapitated and offered as a sacrifice. Skull racks were frequently near ball courts, used to display the skulls of human sacrifices. In the Aztec version, the player might have his heart cut out and offered to the gods.

Nationalsozialismus (Ungekürzt)

In dem geschichtlich außerordentlich kurzen Zeitraum von noch nicht einmal zwölf Jahren haben die Nationalsozialisten Deutschland zu vermeintlicher Größe geführt, die Wehrmacht aus dem Boden gestampft, Ost- und Westeuropa überfallen. Schon vor Kriegsausbruch - von 1933 bis 1939 - saßen in den Gefängnissen und Konzentrationslagern über drei Millionen Menschen. Bis Kriegsende mussten über 7,5 Millionen Fremd- und Zwangsarbeiter Frondienste für Hitler und seine Clique leisten So erschreckend diese Zahlen sind, so erschreckend ist auch die Grausamkeit, mit der Hitlers Schergen folterten und mordeten. Über sechs Millionen Juden, Sinti und Roma und andere Verfolgte wurden umgebracht, und es wären noch Millionen hinzugekommen, hätte das Ende des Krieges das Morden nicht gestoppt. Wie konnte es zu all diesem Schrecken kommen? Wie war die Macht verteilt und organisiert, und wie wurde die Herrschaft durchgesetzt? Diese und andere zentrale Fragen beantwortet das Hörbuch übersichtlich.

Nationalism, Marxism, and Modern Central Europe: A Biography of Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz, 1872-1905

Timothy Snyder opens a new path in the understanding of modern nationalism and twentieth-century socialism by presenting the often overlooked life of Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz, an important Polish thinker at the beginning of the twentieth century. During his brief life in Poland, Paris, and Vienna, Kelles-Krauz influenced or infuriated most of the leaders of the various socialist movements of Central Europe and France. His central ideas ultimately were not accepted by the socialist mainstream at the time of his death. However, a century later, we see that they anticipated late twentieth-century understanding on the importance of nationalism as a social force and the parameters of socialism in political theory and praxis. Kelles-Krauz was one of the only theoreticians of his age to advocate Jewish national rights as being equivalent to, for example, Polish national rights, and he correctly saw the struggle for national sovereignty as being central to future events in Europe. This was the first major monograph in English devoted to Kelles-Krauz.

National Thanksgiving Proclamation

The act of dedicating a time to be thankful preceded the Thanksgiving holiday. It even preceded what most think of as the "First Thanksgiving" in Plymouth. This act became an official holiday only after a committee introduced a resolution on the matter to the House and Senate in 1789. President Washington instituted the holiday, stating that it would be "devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be."

Nation Within: The History of the American Occupation of Hawai'i

In 1893 a small group of white planters and missionary descendants backed by the United States overthrew the Kingdom of Hawai'i and established a government modeled on the Jim Crow South. In Nation Within Tom Coffman tells the complex history of the unsuccessful efforts of deposed Hawaiian queen Lili'uokalani and her subjects to resist annexation, which eventually came in 1898. Coffman describes native Hawaiian political activism, the queen's visits to Washington, D.C., to lobby for independence, and her imprisonment, along with hundreds of others, after their aborted armed insurrection. Exposing the myths that fueled the narrative that native Hawaiians willingly relinquished their nation, Coffman shows how Americans such as Theodore Roosevelt conspired to extinguish Hawai'i's sovereignty in the service of expanding the United States' growing empire.
