Dans «ANGLETERRE MÉDIÉVALE : La fondation et la croissance d'une puissance européenne», l'auteur offre un récit succinct de l'époque transformatrice qu'a été l'Angleterre médiévale, forgée par l'effondrement de la domination romaine au début du Ve siècle, lorsque des tribus germaniques — Angles, Saxons et Jutes — ont migré vers la Bretagne, remplaçant la culture romano-britannique par des royaumes anglo-saxons, période durant laquelle la progressivement unification de ces territoires a eu lieu avec le Wessex comme dominant puissant, fortement influencé par les ...

In a contemporary world blighted by conflicts and contradictory narratives tailored to sanitize or demonize the participating countries, we need a deep but concise understanding of the essence of the belligerent parties so as to make good judgements, appropriate condemnations, or carry out justified actions. It is along those lines that the writer is taking us on a vivid journey through the seven centuries of Polish history that defined the character of the nation, forged its identity, and established its relations with its neighbors in a manner that greatly determines its foreign and ...

In a Europe dominated by empires in the early years of the twentieth century, ethnic nationalism is challenging the status quo, threatening to throw the continent into an unfathomable turmoil. To hedge against this impending war, the different European leaders embarked on strengthening the alliances they had formed. Appearing the most vulnerable to this phenomenon is the multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is situated at the heart of Europe and whose citizens come from Europe's three major language groups. But strangely enough, its emperor Franz Josef is loved by the majority of all...

Countries, continents, and the world at large experience jolts that move them away from their evolutionary if not reformatory paths, resulting in seismic changes that transform them fundamentally. Assassinations are one of the potent catalysts for these changes as they lead to wars, political changes, and even economic transformations. Below is an insight into far-reaching political assassinations that are still haunting the world today: Franz Ferdinand: Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian-Serb nationalist kills the Archduke and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, thereby sparking off World War One...

There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being the real thing, the true inheritor of a legacy, the upholder of the identity others strive to be attached to. In this account, we see two narratives that oppose one another, but that ought to complement each other. How do a people so divided by history embrace their common heritage or denominator as the children of Kievan Rus, but who later became known as the frontier people (Ukrainians)? "The Real Ukrainians" is the first part of an account that would take us hand-in-hand through our journey that would make us enlightened regarding the ...

Cette première partie du récit des hégémons qui ont façonné le monde occidental est une histoire millénaire impliquant la Rome antique et la nature de son monde qui impliquait les empires contre lesquels elle s'est battue, les terres et les peuples qu'elle a conquis, les invasions « barbares » qu'elle a vaincues et n'a pas réussi à arrêter, et l'influence qu'elle a exercée en Europe. L'Afrique et le Moyen-Orient, ce qui en fait la cible de puissants non-Romains déterminés à le contrôler tout en chérissant sa civilisation, les attributs positifs qui constituent le noyau du ...

A bright-eyed explorer and soldier in the German colonial army in Kamerun adopts Josef Nana Njike and takes him to Germany.

He returns to German Kamerun after failing to marry his first love, and without their son, Hans. He sets about pursuing his dream as his benefactor's disciple with a mission. Josef is a man with unusual strengths and makes unprecedented sacrifices while building his business ...

This succinct narrative effortlessly takes us through a millennium and a half of the formative history of the land that is at the center of geopolitics today. As the first part of a breathtaking account that takes us hand-in-hand through the landmark history of the land variously described as "The Holy Land", “The Promised Land", Israel and Palestine, this narrative provides unique insight into plans — attempted and not yet articulated — to resolve the conflict between two peoples or nations with deep connections to the land, but who are not living there in peace because they are ...

As a German colony from 1884-1916, Kamerun was called "The African Pearl" for its human and material potential, and for its strategic position in Africa. The defeat of Germany in the First World War and the partition of the colony into British Cameroons and French Cameroon did not diminish the area's outsize role in the political and economic evolution of the continent. So, the quest by the land's civic nationalists to reunite the British-controlled and French-controlled territories and make Cameroon independent, raised concerns among the colonialists in Britain and France, who planned to ...

HEGEMON IN THE MAKING is the first part of the account of the hegemons that shaped the Western World, a thousand-year story per se about ancient Rome and the nature of its world. This involves the empires it fought against, the lands and people it conquered, the “Barbarian” invasions it defeated and failed to stop, and the influence it exerted in Europe, Africa, and East Asia (The Middle East), making it the target of other powerful forces determined to bring it down while cherishing its civilization, the positive attributes that constitute the bedrock of Western civilization today ...

The Pannonian Basin, which is also known as the Great Hungarian Plain, is one of Europe’s most fertile regions, famous for its rich, loamy soils (Chernozems) deposited by ancient seas and rivers, making it ideal for intensive agriculture. That is why it became central to Europe's Migration Period from 375 to 800 AD, when the migrating Huns—nomadic, equestrian warriors from Central Asia—under the famous Attila, invaded the Central European basin around 370 AD, subjugated or pushed the local Iranian and numerous Germanic tribes (like the Aland and the Goths) into Roman territory, ...

Janvier Chouteu-Chando's Fortune's Children is the gripping story of a mixed-race German who escapes Nazi rule and seeks refuge in French Cameroun, and then leads his father’s family and Business Empire through Africa’s most brutal colonial war that historians describe as ‘France’s Hidden war in Africa”.

Soprannominato da molti esperti "La guerra più stupida del mondo", il conflitto in Ucraina è quello che quasi nessuno vedeva all'orizzonte nel 2010. Tuttavia, è già vicino a un decennio. In questo conflitto nell'Ucraina equamente divisa, la politica del rischio calcolato da parte degli attori locali del paese, da parte dell'Occidente che vuole trascinare l'Ucraina nella sua orbita, e da parte della Russia che teme di perdere l'Ucraina e la sua sicurezza nel processo, è la norma. Allo stesso tempo, il mondo osserva in modo apparentemente impotente mentre l'Ucraina viene fatta a pezzi ...

L'autore accompagna il lettore mano nella mano attraverso il viaggio del 45° presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America per diventare il 47° presidente in un processo che sembra sfidare le cause legali, i tentativi di omicidio, la macchina dei media tradizionali, l'establishment politico e i "poteri senza volto". Sfidando la propaganda, rimanendo indifferente alle opinioni non basate sui fatti, ...

I paesi, i continenti e il mondo in generale sperimentano scosse che li allontanano dai loro percorsi evolutivi se non riformatori, provocando cambiamenti sismici che li trasformano radicalmente. Gli omicidi sono uno dei potenti catalizzatori di questi cambiamenti in quanto portano a guerre, cambiamenti politici e persino trasformazioni economiche. Di seguito è riportata una panoramica degli omicidi politici di vasta portata che ancora oggi perseguitano il mondo: Francesco Ferdinando: Gavrilo Princip, un nazionalista serbo-bosniaco, uccide l'arciduca ed erede al trono austro-ungarico, ...
