A Celebration of the "Great Experiment" initiated by the Founding Fathers In a world of undisputed monarchies, a group of rebels challenged the status quo, creating a nation in which their inhabitants had unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursue of Happiness. The Founding Father understood, 248 years ago, their fight was to establish the foundation for a nation, a territory, and the profoundly empowering idea namd "America". Today, we honor the birth of a great nation and we continue building a future in which we all can fulfill the American Dream, regardless of background or birth. Happy 4th of July!

Today 307AD Roman Emperor Constantine marries Fausta, daughter of the Emperor Maximian, later murdering her in 326 A Military Life of Constantine the Great Get this book UK at https://amzn.to/3oPMHSO Get the book USA at https://amzn.to/3H5YKX6 Much of Constantine I's claim to lasting fame rests upon his sponsorship of Christianity, and many works have been published assessing whether his apparent conversion was a real religious experience or a cynical political manoeuvre. However his path to sole rule of the Roman Empire depended more upon the ruthless application of military might than upon his espousal of Christianity. He fought numerous campaigns, many of them against Roman rivals for Imperial power, most famously defeating Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. In this new study, Ian Hughes assesses whether Constantine would have deserved the title 'the Great' for his military achievements alone, or whether the epithet depends upon the gratitude of Christian historians. All of Constantine's campaigns are narrated and his strategic and tactical decisions analysed. The organization, strengths and weaknesses of the Roman army he inherited are described and the effect of both his and his predecessors' reforms discussed. The result is a fresh analysis of this pivotal figure in European history from a military perspective.

It has been 22 years since one of the most tragic events in American history unfolded before our very eyes. Even today, the sorrow and despair that engulfed our nation on that fateful day etch deeply into our hearts. However, amidst the darkness, a beacon of hope emerged – the unwavering unity that bound us together in our time of need. It is crucial for us to remember the heroes who selflessly went above and beyond, and in some cases even sacrificed their own lives, to rescue others. Their courage serves as an ever-present reminder of the immense power and resilience that lies within us when we stand united. Let us not forget that we possess the capacity to set aside our differences and work harmoniously as a great nation. We must recognize the importance of our collective strength, as we have time and time again in the past, to overcome any challenges that lie before us. By shedding our self-centeredness and embracing the spirit of unity, we can navigate the obstacles that confront us today and forge a brighter future for generations to come. Together, let us hold onto the precious bond that unites us as a nation. Together, let us flourish once more, as we have done countless times before. Let us cast aside personal interests, rising above petty disagreements, and face the trials that lie ahead with unwavering resolve. It is in this unity that we will find the strength to prevail and prosper, just as we have throughout history. #9/11 #unitedstatesofamerica #togetherweadvance

Rome's transition from a monarchy to a republic is a pivotal moment in its history. The Roman Republic, traditionally dated to 509 BC, was established after the overthrow of the Etruscan monarchy. The monarchy was abolished due to the oppressive rule of the last king, Tarquin the Proud, and the desire of the Roman people for a more inclusive form of government. Under the new republican system, Rome's governance was shared among elected officials. Two consuls, chosen annually, held executive power and were responsible for military command. The Roman Senate, composed of elder statesmen, served as an advisory body, while the People's Assembly represented the citizenry. The values of the Roman Republic were deeply rooted in citizenship, law, and civic duty. Roman citizens were expected to participate in the defense of the city, and the republic upheld the principle of ius civile (civil law), which protected the rights of citizens. The early expansion of the Roman Republic was driven by the need for security and resources, as well as a desire to ensure the prosperity of its citizens. Rome gradually extended its influence over neighboring territories, including the surrounding Italian Peninsula. This period, marked by the development of republican institutions, laid the foundation for Rome's future greatness. It was characterized by the gradual expansion of Roman territory, the assimilation of conquered peoples, and the cultivation of a strong sense of Roman identity. In the centuries that followed, Rome would continue to evolve and confront new challenges, ultimately becoming a formidable empire that left an indelible mark on the course of history.
