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 this groundbreaking account, the author takes the reader down the aisle of groundbreaking events and history to the reality that today is Ukraine, the Ukraine Conflict, post-Cold-war Europe, and the controversial American-led unipolar world. The complexity of Ukraine, its history, politics, and the multi-faceted war the divided Ukrainian people did not anticipate two decades ago becomes easy to understand, laying the foundations for a solution to what many pundits think is an intractable conflict. The author achieved that with an insight and presentation that makes this account a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

“The Ancestry Factor in American Elections” is a pathbreaking work that shows us the least-talk-about aspect of the American demographic makeup, which though complex in itself, provides a unique insight into how elections are won and lost in the United States of America. We find that this curious aspect of ancestry is something the news media deliberately or unknowingly fail to dwell on, focusing instead on the economic, political, and specific social agendas of the forces that are bent on molding society, the state, and the world. In a seemingly effortless manner, this work reveals the...

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 ...

Cameroon is the only country in Africa where those who campaigned, fought and died for the country's freedom and independence from colonial rule have never made it to power, where the ideas and ideals of these union-nationalists are still being suppressed by the unpopular system the colonial master put in place in the country after defeating these civic-nationalists in a bloody war variously described as France’s genocidal war in Africa. This retarding French-imposed system keeps the country trapped in poverty, corruption, underdevelopment, dictatorship, despondence, and cynicism, thereby...

In a world where attitudes and behaviors that were taboo not long ago are now acceptable in a world where the future is frightening to many, we appear to be the helpless onlookers of a process we have no control over. So, finding out that there are underlying efforts by governments, the media, or private groups to influence particular attitudes and social behaviors on a large scale, for the purpose of producing desired results or certain characteristics in particular segments of the population, would be shocking to many people. It is even more shocking when the social engineers are ...

Dubbed by many pundits as “The Most Stupid War in the World,” the Ukraine conflict is one that hardly anyone saw coming back in 2010. However, it is close to a decade old already. In this conflict in the evenly divided Ukraine, brinkmanship by the local players in the country, by the West that wants to drag Ukraine into its orbit, and by Russia that fears losing Ukraine and its security in the process, is the norm. At the same time, the world watches in a seemingly helpless manner as Ukraine gets torn apart at the seams. Most of the governments in the West blame Russia for instigating ...

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 ...

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 ...
