"There was an increase in climate during the eighteenth century. Agriculture fed more people as crop yields became lower. These were factors in the better times to come." "It was the 18th centuey enlightenment that contributed most to the 17th century." "Voltaire wrote a book called 'Candy' that got him into trouble with Frederick the Great, who is credoted personally with increasing the population of Prussia by almost a third during his lifetime." "In the eighteenth century such greats as Mozart, Bach, Richardson, Roccoco and Baroque cultured the nobles of Europe." "When not working in the church, Bach composed pieces on a spinster in his home." Tomorrow: the Age of Revolution; the French demand fraternities.

The Age of Revolution: "The American colonists lived on a continent and England was an island. Thus the Americans wanted independence." "Americans, of course, wanted not involvement in the French and Indian War because they did not want to fight in India. This led to the Stamp Act, where no stamps could be issued unless they bore the American mascot." "The Quebec Act was an Intolerable Act because it would have required Americans to learn French in school." "Many colonists became convicted patriots after reading 'Horse Sense' by Thomas Pain." "Benjamin Franklin, already famous as the inventor of the light bulb, persuaded French King George III to help the USA." "Yorktown was sight of Robert E. Lee's greatest victory. Washington defeated the Allies at Gettysberg. He was the first and only president to be elected anonymously by the Electoral College." "Another problem was that France was full of French people. "Revolters demanded liberty, equality and fraternities. Victims of the terror were rolled to the gilotine in tumblers." "Napoleon was ill with bladder problems and was very tense and unrestrained. He was later troubled with Spanish gorillas, who formed a sore in his side." Next installment: The Industrial Revolution.

"The industrial revolution was slow at first due to the lakc of factories. European nations had the raw materials to start an industrial revolution, but they did not have the knowledge to start a revolution and thus they were retarded." "The Russians financed industrialization by elling bongs to foreign countries." "An example of the importance of women during the industrial revolution was the work of Spinning Jenny, a young girl forced to work more than 40 hours a day." "Telephones were not available - communication went by mouth to mouth or telegram. The Interstate Highway System was built soon after the Civil War. The Trans-Siberian Railroad connected Europe to California. The airplane was invented and first flown by the Marx brothers." "In 1848, unemployment became a crisis in Paris. Out of a city population of one million people, two million able bodies were on the loose." "The Irish had to imagrate to the US because of Hitler." "Girls were typially sent to finishing shools, where the point was to finish them off." "Leaders of the women's movement included Florence Nightengail, susan B. Anthony and Crystal Pancake." "The law treated women the same as children, criminals, or insominacs." Next: 19th century political conflicts:tounge2:

The best that I can figure is, maybe, Emily Pankhurst, the British feminist.

I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed reading these. Glancing through quickly, I assumed that these were written by middle or high school students. It's a little bit frightening to see that they were college students! Funny!! Do you have more?

I ahve to get this book backt the library, so I'm doubling up the chapters. "Few were surprised when the National League failed to prevent another world war." "Germany invaded Poland, France invaded Belgium and Russia inveded everybody." "The Germans took the by-pass around France's Marginal Line. This was know as the 'Blintz Kreig'. The French huddled up and threw sneers at the Germans. Japan boomed Pearl Harbor, the main US base in southern California. American sailors watched in shock as the sky filled with Japanese zebras!" "The German invaders were popular for a while in Russia, but their habit of slaughtering innocent civilians tended to give them an image problem. The Russians defended Stalingrad feercely, as the city was nomed after Lenin." "Stalin, Rosevelt,Churchill and Truman were known as the 'Big Three'." "Hitler, who had become depressed for some reason, crawled under Berlin. Here he had his wife Evita put to sleep and then shot himself in the bonker." "Unfortunately, the Second World War was not concluded until 1957." "War screeched to an end whena nukuleer explosion was dropped on Heroshima."
(Gee, can't imagine why Hitler was depressed.)
